Adaptation to address community needs has improved parenting practices and youth outcomes beyond the original evidence-based parenting interventions, and adapted parenting programs have the potential to improve cultural socialization, which is associated with improved behavioral outcomes among Latinx youth. However, ongoing tensions in the field highlight the question of whether deep adaptations compared to surface-level adaptations (e.g., translation only) are needed. The FCU is an evidence-based parenting program that has a strong history of reducing substance abuse and externalizing symptoms (e.g., problem behaviors). A community-based participatory approach will be employed to culturally adapt the FCU Online and identify implementation strategies to improve access to and adoption of the intervention, leveraging community and resiliency-promoting assets.

To reach the goals of the study, the following aims will guide this research. In Aim 1, a c…
