Week 3 Application Analysis: Evidence-Based Practice and Programming Mario Buonopane College of Social & Behavioral Sciences, Wilmington University PSC7000 Intro to Prevention Science Dr. Edward Guthrie September 13, 2023

Nurturing Parents: a specific evidence-based prevention program/intervention. The National Registry of Evidence Based Programs & Practices, NREPP, a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, SAMHSA, registered organization, recognizes Nurturing Parents as an evidence-based program. “ The Evidence-Based Nurturing Parenting Programs are building Protective Factors in families that when present increase the health and well-being of children and families,” (Samhsa, n.d.). Nurturing Parenting Programs help educate and provide services for new parents, single parents, and struggling parents. “The Nurturing Parenting Programs are a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices,” (Samhsa, n.d.). Furthermore, Nurturing Parenting Programs, “ are evidence based [sic] programs for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. With 40 years of validation, SAMHSA (Substance Abuse, Mental health Services Administration) and NREPP (National Registry of Effective Programs and Practices) along with program clearing houses at the state level have recognized the Nurturing Programs as effective programs for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect,” (Nurturing, n.d.). The features/principles related to program characteristics, the target population, implementation, and evaluation that align as an evidence-based program/intervention. Nurturing Parenting Programs employ a multi-tiered approach to prevention and interventions. Targeting young, unwed, and struggling parents, “Nurturing Programs are designed to meet the assessed needs of families experiencing varying levels of dysfunction. Agencies can offer these programs to families in need of treatment for child abuse and neglect;

offer interventions for families at risk for child maltreatment, or can offer educational support groups and resources for families desiring to improve their parenting skills. The programs are offered in group settings, in home settings and in combination group and home visit formats,” (Nurturing, n.d.). The program focuses on five key facets of parenting intervention with the aim to prevent child abuse and neglect. “Inappropriate developmental expectations of children; parental lack of empathy of children's needs; strong belief in the use of corporal punishment as a means of discipline; reversing parent-child roles so parents can satisfy their needs and wants; oppressing children's power and independence by demanding strict obedience to parental demands,” (Nurturing, n.d.). What standards of efficacy, effectiveness, dissemination, and CLAS align your example as an evidence-based program/intervention with considerations of cultural competence? Nurturing Parenting Programs utilize two standards of efficacy. “ The field of parenting education, particularly as it pertains to providing parenting education to families charged with child abuse and neglect, is witnessing a dramatic change in what is being recognized as an evidence-based program. In conducting research to support the effectiveness of a program, there are essentially two categories of research design that are acceptable in the field: Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research. The design most used in experimental studies is called Randomized Control Trial (RCT),” (Nurturing, n.d.). Quasi-experimental research employs “a history of extensive use in social services. The most common quasi-experimental research designs are simple pre-posttest, posttest only, pre-posttest comparison groups, and pre- posttest comparison groups with longitudinal follow up,” (Nurturing, n.d.).

The Nurturing Parent programs qualify highly on the classification matrix. “Principles related to program characteristics: comprehensive, varied teaching methods, sufficient dosage, theory driven, focused on enhancing positive relationships, principles related to matching the program with the targeted population, appropriately timed, socioculturally [sic] relevant, principles related to implementation and evaluation of prevention programs, outcome evaluation, and a well- trained staff,” (Raczynski, 2013, p. 38). Based around six fundamental assumptions, Nurturing Parent programs focuses on the family system, empathy, parenting continuum, (“Parenting exists on a continuum. To some degree, all families experience healthy and unhealthy interactions. Building positive, healthy interactions between family members is an important key to reducing family violence.”) learning, feeling good, and staying happy and healthy. (Nurturing, n.d.)
