Abstract

The goal of this study was to evaluate the delivery of a parenting program to 17 Korean immigrants for cultural and linguistic appropriateness and usefulness regarding recruitment, retention, program content, and delivery methods. Focus group interview data were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed. Themes identified included fit between the parents' desire and what the program offered, effective recruitment and retention strategies, program content and videotapes: based on Western cultural background but useful, helpful role-play and homework, and recommendations (Korean language videotapes, longer classes, extended learning). The findings can be used in adopting the program to increase cultural and linguistic appropriateness. Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
