Summary

The goal of this study is to better understand and support parenting practices and family mental health among migrant parents in Tijuana, Mexico. the main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What parenting skills are most needed for learning?
2. How can we teach them in a participatory way respecting cultural values and norms?
3. How does this parenting program affect parental and child interactions and mental health?

Participants will

1. have the opportunity to give their opinions on the priority parenting skills needed and on which curriculum to use for learning these skills;
2. participate in small group learning sessions twice a week for 4 weeks;
3. be asked to complete a few surveys before and after the learning sessions, and 2 months after they complete the learning sessions.

Researchers will compare parents randomly assigned to parenting sessions group with waitlist control group (starting learning sessions 1 month later) to see if the group learning benefits parent-child interactions, parental stress, and parental confidence in parenting.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Refugee parenting education in a participatory community

Parents will vote for one of the 5 previously studied refugee parenting curriculums: 1) Creating Opportunities Through Mentoring Parenting Involvement and Safe Space (COMPASS); 2) GenerationPMTO; 3) Happy Families; 4) Family Strengthening Intervention for Refugees (FSI-R). Researchers will use a model of Learning by Observing and Pitching In (LOPI), to empower community members in the learning process. LOPI is a multicomponent way of organizing group learning that improves collaboration, alertness, and executive functions such as perspective-taking and self-regulation in addition to specific skills learning and has been used in many indigenous and indigenous-heritage communities of the Americas.
