A Mixed-Methods Study of Clinician Adaptations to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy - What about Culture?

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) for young children with challenging behaviors. PCIT has been adapted to treat varying presentations and culturally diverse families. Although efforts have been made to disseminate PCIT into community settings, which often serve clinically complex, socio-culturally diverse, and marginalized communities, barriers to disseminating adapted models remain.

Improving the Quality of Children's Mental Health Care with Progress Measures: A Mixed-Methods Study of PCIT Therapist Attitudes.

Progress measures are an evidence-based technique for improving the quality of mental health care, however, clinicians rarely incorporate them into treatment. Research into how measure type impacts clinician preference has been recommended to help improve measure implementation. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an assessment-driven treatment that serves as an ideal intervention through which to investigate measure preferences given its routine use of two types of assessments, a behavioral observation (the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System) and a parent-report measure (the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory).

Sociocultural stressors across the perinatal period and risk for postpartum depressive symptoms in women of Mexican descent.

Objectives: In the United States, women of Mexican descent are affected by postpartum depression at disproportionate rates, often two to three times higher than the general population. Sociocultural stressors may contribute to this disparity. Traditionally, these stressors are measured at a single time point, and it is unknown if sociocultural stressors change from pregnancy to the postnatal period and if they are related to postpartum depressive symptoms.
