Social capital interventions have been linked to various health and well-being outcomes in children and families. This study evaluated the Academia de Cultura Latina Para Padres (ACLP), a grass roots women-led parent engagement program that aimed to increase its participants' understanding and access to information about their children's education to support their academic success. Cross-sectional data were collected from 100 Latino caregivers who were on average 40.3 (SD = 12.12) years old, participated in the ACLP program between September and November 2019, and had at least one child or grandchild who attended Rosa Parks Elementary School in San Diego, California. A paired t test and multiple linear regression were conducted to compare the participants' scores on a pretest and posttest. A thematic analysis approach was also used to code participant responses to open-ended workshop satisfaction questionnaires. Participants scored significantly higher on the posttest after participating in the ACLP program, and although we did not find a significant relationship between the participants' attendance and posttests, we found a significant relationship between their positive ratings of the workshops and posttest scores. Findings from this study can inform future parent involvement programs, strategies for community engagement and practice with Latino caregivers, and research.

拉丁裔家长参与：拉丁文化学院的成果评估

社会资本干预与儿童和家庭的各种健康和福祉结果有关。本研究评估了拉丁文化学院 (ACLP)，这是一个草根女性主导的家长参与计划，旨在增加参与者对子女教育信息的理解和获取，以支持他们的学业成功。横断面数据收集自 100 名平均年龄为 40.3 ( SD  = 12.12) 岁、在 2019 年 9 月至 11 月期间参加 ACLP 计划且至少有一个孩子或孙子在圣罗莎帕克斯小学就读的拉丁裔看护人加利福尼亚州迭戈。一对t进行测试和多元线性回归来比较参与者在前测和后测中的分数。还使用主题分析方法对参与者对开放式研讨会满意度问卷的回答进行编码。参加 ACLP 计划后，参与者在后测中的得分明显更高，虽然我们没有发现参与者的出勤率和后测之间存在显着关系，但我们发现他们对研讨会的积极评价与后测分数之间存在显着关系。这项研究的结果可以为未来的家长参与计划、社区参与策略和拉丁裔看护者的实践以及研究提供信息。
