What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new program designed to help Latine parents improve their skills and confidence in discussing racial and ethnic identity with their children. The program, known as Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Racial-Ethnic Socialization CompEtency (VIP-RACE), uses video feedback to make these conversations more effective, aiming to strengthen identities and improve mental health for the children. The trial is open to Latine families with children aged 10-14 who are comfortable speaking English or Spanish and are willing to be recorded during interactions. This initial phase will refine the program before a larger study is conducted. As an unphased trial, this study offers families a unique opportunity to shape a program that could enhance their children's understanding of their identity.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems to focus on parenting and socialization, so it's unlikely that medication changes are required.

What prior data suggests that this intervention is safe for families?

Research shows that the Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Racial-Ethnic Socialization Competency (VIP-RACE) is being developed to support Latine parents. Although specific safety data for VIP-RACE is not available, the program aims to improve communication and cultural understanding, which generally carries minimal risk compared to medical treatments.

The trial phase is labeled "Not Applicable," indicating that this program focuses on education and support rather than medical or drug treatment. Programs like this are typically safe because they do not involve medications or invasive procedures. The goal is to enhance parenting skills and confidence, which is unlikely to cause harm.

While specific safety data for VIP-RACE is lacking, similar programs that focus on cultural and social skills are usually well-received. Participants often report positive experiences, as these programs aim to reduce stress and improve family relationships. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about the Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Racial-Ethnic Socialization CompEtency (VIP-RACE) because it offers a fresh approach to addressing behavioral issues in children. Unlike traditional methods that might focus more on direct behavior modification, VIP-RACE emphasizes enhancing parents' ability to socialize their children within their racial and ethnic contexts. This intervention uses video feedback to help parents develop competencies in racial-ethnic socialization, which can lead to more meaningful and supportive parent-child interactions. By focusing on this unique aspect of socialization, VIP-RACE has the potential to improve behavioral outcomes in a culturally sensitive and personalized manner.

What evidence suggests that the VIP-RACE program is effective for improving racial-ethnic socialization competency?

Studies have shown that video feedback can effectively help parents improve communication and cultural understanding. In this trial, the VIP-RACE program aims to assist Latine parents in teaching their children about their cultural backgrounds, a process known as racial-ethnic socialization (RES). Research has shown that when parents enhance these skills, it can strengthen their children's sense of identity and improve their mental and behavioral health. Early results suggest that frequent and effective discussions about RES help children become more resilient and better at handling challenges. This program seeks to make these important conversations easier and more effective. ^{1 2 4 6 7}
