Abstract

This Phase I application proposes development of the DivorceCARE en Espanol, an interactive, multimedia-based prevention strategy designed to help Spanish-speaking parents facilitate their
children's effective postdivorce adjustment. The program is conceptualized as a
critical addition to the larger Divorce Child Adjustment Resource & Education
(DivorceCARE) program, a NIDA-funded suite of divorce-related multimedia
prevention programs currently under development at lnflexxion. Court sponsored
divorce education programs are mandated in more than 45 states throughout the
country. Yet, currently none of the available programs are offered in Spanish
or are tailored to the needs of Latino parents. As a result, Latino parents
with little English-speaking abilities are typically exempted from the court
mandate and left without options for obtaining important divorce-related
intervention services. To address this issue, DivorceCARE en Espanol will be a
Latino-sensitive program offered in Spanish. Phase I will define the components
of the program, outline the companion Website and program manual, develop
prototypes of the computer interface, and produce and test a demo CD-ROM. Phase
II involves completion of the program and a field test to demonstrate efficacy
and product satisfaction.
