Brief Summary:
This project will test the proximal and distal effects of an integrated dual-generation intervention Power PATH in Head Start preschoolers and their parents in Alabama
Detailed Description:
This project will test the proximal and distal effects of an integrated dual-generation intervention approach Power PATH in an existing Head Start University Partnership in Alabama Dual generation approaches recognize the need to intervene with both parents and children in Head Start preschools in order to improve parents ability to provide safe and supportive caregiving environments and to prepare children for the transition to elementary school academically and behaviorally Parents of Head Start preschoolers often have high levels of poverty stress and mental health needs Yoshikowa Aber Beardslee 2012 and their children are at-risk for academic behavioral and social-emotional difficulties Aber Jones Cohen 2000 Costello Keeler Angold 2001 Morales Guerra 2006 Thus in this project two evidence-based and widely-utilized preventive interventions will be adapted and thoughtfully integrated in collabo-ration with Head Start personnel to provide intensive high quality services to Head Start parents and children First the Power PATH Parent Intervention program adapted from Coping Power Wells Lochman Lenhart 2008 for this dual-generation approach will be implemented to address parental mental health needs to increase parental employment and financial security and to improve parents ability to model effective social-emotional skills The parent intervention will help parents create a positive and predictable home environment and support their childs academic learning and emotional and behavioral self-regulation Second the Promoting Alterna-tive Thinking Strategies PATHS Preschool Social and Emotional Learning curriculum Domitrovich et al 1999 will be implemented in the preschool classrooms PATHS is a universal classroom-based curriculum that increases childrens social-emotional competence and self-regulatory skills leading to long-term social behavioral and academic gains The Power PATH program will incorporate both of these parent and child interventions and will include opportuni-ties for the children to teach their parents the social and emotional skills they are learning in the classroom to promote skill- generalization and transfer to the home environment This study will also identify novel intervention mediators and moderators essential for interrupting the intergen-erational transmission of chronic social stress and will identify the best interventions for families particularly during preschool when self-regulation skills are still malleable and childrens primary environments and physiological responses to stress are likely to moderate intervention effects Bierman et al 2008 Boyce Ellis 2005 Porges 2007 In summary addressing sources of chronic stress in the parents of Head Start preschoolers ie employment and financial insecurity mental health needs and family stressors through the Power PATH dual generation intervention is expected to prepare parents to better support shape and model their childrens self-regulation skills and to better foster their childrens school readiness and to improve overall family well-being
