Evidence-based parenting interventions (EBPI) support children and families to promote resilience, address emotional and behavioral concerns, and prevent or address issues related to child maltreatment. Critiques of EBPIs include concerns about their relevance and effectiveness for diverse populations when they are implemented at population scale. Research methods that center racial equity and include community-based participatory approaches have the potential to address some of these concerns. The purpose of the present review was to document the extent to which methods associated with promoting racial equity in research have been used in studies that contribute to the evidence base for programs that meet evidentiary standards for a clearinghouse that was developed to support the Family First Prevention Services Act in the United States. We developed a coding system largely based on the Culturally Responsive Evaluation model. A sample of 47 papers that are part of the evidence base for ten in-home parent skill-based programs were reviewed and coded. Only three of 28 possible codes were observed to occur in over half of the studies (including race/ethnicity demographic characteristics, conducting measure reliability for the study sample, and including information on socioeconomic status). Although the overall presence of equity-informed methods was low, a positive trend was observed over time. This review highlights ways in which rigorous research can incorporate racial equity into the planning, design, execution, and interpretation and dissemination of programs of study. We posit that doing so improves the external validity of studies while maintaining high-quality research that can contribute to an evidence base.

以公平为中心的循证育儿干预研究评估
循证育儿干预措施 (EBPI) 支持儿童和家庭提高复原力,解决情感和行为问题,并预防或解决与虐待儿童相关的问题。对 EBPI 的批评包括对其在人口规模实施时对不同人群的相关性和有效性的担忧。以种族平等为中心并包括基于社区的参与方法的研究方法有可能解决其中一些问题。本次审查的目的是记录与促进研究中种族平等相关的方法在研究中的使用程度,这些研究有助于为满足为支持家庭优先预防而开发的信息交换所证据标准的计划提供证据基础美国的服务法。我们开发了一个主要基于文化响应评估模型的编码系统。我们对 47 篇论文样本进行了审查和编码,这些论文是 10 个家庭家长技能项目证据基础的一部分。在超过一半的研究中,仅观察到 28 个可能代码中的三个出现(包括种族/族裔人口统计特征、对研究样本进行可靠性测量,以及包括社会经济状况信息)。尽管股票知情方法的总体存在率较低,但随着时间的推移观察到了积极的趋势。这篇评论强调了严格的研究如何将种族平等纳入研究项目的规划、设计、执行、解释和传播中。我们认为,这样做可以提高研究的外部有效性,同时保持有助于证据基础的高质量研究。
