Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to establish consensus among a group of experts on the most effective ways to develop and implement a primary care parenting program for Latinx parents. Using a Delphi methodology, researchers sought consensus among Latinx, first-generation parents, Latinx researchers, and primary care experts by soliciting the suggestions of 23 women and five men from 10 different Latinx countries. Consensus was established across six out of seven themes. Themes where consensus was met included facilitator knowledge; program participants; program characteristics; program timing, length, and duration; program topics; and program educational methods. These results indicate that several programmatic changes need to be made to better adapt primary care parenting programs to the needs, values, and preferences of Latinx parents. Suggestions for programmatic changes are given at the end of this article.
