Adapting to Unprecedented Times: Community Clinician Modifications to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy during COVID-19.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based practice that effectively prevents and treats child disruptive behaviors and child physical maltreatment and reduces parenting stress. PCIT was adapted for telehealth delivery, internet-delivered PCIT (iPCIT), before the COVID-19 pandemic but was not widely implemented until the rapid transition to telehealth during stay-at-home orders. To understand how clinicians adapted PCIT during COVID-19, we followed up on a previous study investigating community clinician adaptations of PCIT pre-COVID-19 using the Lau et al.

":" An Examination of Role and Identity Among Latina .

Promotoras de salud are community health workers that mostly help the underserved members of Latinx communities. They seek to reduce health disparities through community engagement and work that is voluntary or mostly unpaid. While there is evidence that promotoras aid in prevention, follow-up care, and treatment adherence, little is known about promotoras themselves, specifically, the impact that fulfilling their roles has on their views of themselves and their service identities.

Universal Teacher-Child Interaction Training in Early Special Education: A Pilot Cluster-Randomized Control Trial.

Using a pilot matched-pairs cluster-randomized control trial, we evaluated the acceptability and preliminary outcomes of universal Teacher-Child Interaction Training (TCIT-U) with students with disabilities in early special education programs. Twelve classrooms (clusters) were paired by age and type and then randomly assigned within pairs to either TCIT-U (81 students, 20 teachers) or wait-list control (63 students, 16 teachers) with services as usual. We analyzed the effects of TCIT-U on (a) teachers' skills acquisition via masked observational coding and (b) students' behavior and developmental functioning via teacher questionnaires.
