What Parents Prefer In Parent Management Training: An Ethnically Diverse Perspective
The purpose of this poster session is to describe the use of a partnership-based approach to investigate the preferred components of Parent Management Training (PMT) programs among families from low-income and ethnic minority cultures. Preferences will be evaluated using a quantitative Q-sort method with primary caregivers from low-income areas of the Northeastern United States. Caregiver preferences of PMT components among low-income and ethnic minority families will be presented and discussed. School Psychologists involved in parent education interventions will learn more about culturally relevant priorities in PMT and gain information that could increase the effectiveness of their practice with high-risk, vulnerable families.
