However, much less is known about their effects with indigenous families. A Collaborative Participation Adaptation Model (CPAM) was used to culturally adapt a low-intensity, two-session group variant of the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program for Māori parents of young children in New Zealand. CPAM involved collaborating closely with Māori tribal elders, practitioners as end-users, and parents as consumers through a participatory process to identify content and delivery process used in Triple P that would ensure that traditional Māori cultural values were incorporated. The culturally adapted program (Te Whānau Pou Toru) was then evaluated with 70 parents of 3–7-year-old children in a two-arm randomized clinical trial (intervention vs waitlist control). Results showed that parents in the intervention group reported significantly greater improvements in child behavior problems and reduced interparental conflict about child-rearing compared to parents in the control group at immediate post-intervention. These intervention effects were either maintained or improved further at follow-up assessment. At 6-month follow-up intervention-group parents reported significantly greater reductions in overreactive parenting practices and greater confidence in managing a range of difficult child behaviors than control parents. The culturally adapted program was associated with high levels of parental satisfaction. Findings are discussed in terms of making brief, effective, culturally adapted parenting support available to Māori families. (Authors' abstract).
