| Abstract | Prior empirical work suggests that traditional parenting programs may be less successful with African American families. The current research expands on previous work by evaluating a novel, parent-focused intervention for African Americans. A two-phase study evaluated the acceptability and efficacy of the Successful African American Parenting (SAAP) program, a culturally sensitive parenting workshop. Phase 1 assessed participants' satisfaction with SAAP. Results revealed positive impressions of the intervention immediately following the workshop and again 1 month later. Phase 2 evaluated SAAP's impact on parental self-efficacy and community-based service utilization (i.e., mental healthcare use and child prosocial involvement). As anticipated, SAAP parents reported greater child involvement in prosocial activities compared to Usual Community Services (UCS) participants. However, no group differences in self-efficacy or use of mental health services emerged. Supplemental qualitative analyses helped identify intervention elements (e.g., sharing experiences with each other, providing materials in a principles-based format) that may be key for disseminating well-received parent-oriented treatments for African American families. These results hold implications for the design, implementation, and evaluation of parenting interventions for ethnic minority families. |
