Peer Reviewed: Prevention of Filipino Youth Behavioral Health Disparities: Identifying Barriers and Facilitators to Participating in Incredible Years an Evidence-Based Parenting Intervention Los Angeles California 2012

摘要

IntroductionEvidence-based interventions for training parents are proven to prevent onset and escalation of childhood mental health problems. However, participation in such programs is low, especially among hard-to-reach, underserved populations such as Filipino Americans. Filipinos, the largest Asian subgroup in California, have significant behavioral health disparities compared with non-Hispanic whites and other Asian subgroups. The purpose of this study was to learn about Filipinos’ barriers and facilitators to participating in “Incredible Years” (IY), a parenting program.
