Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Latine/Hispanic parents and their 10–14-year-old child who can participate together, complete surveys/interviews in English or Spanish, and agree to be video or audio recorded are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Families who are not Latino/a/x/e or Hispanic, whose child is outside the 10–14 age range, who cannot complete study tasks due to intellectual disability or autism, who do not speak English or Spanish, or who refuse recording or dyad participation are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
The investigators refined the VIP-RACE curriculum with input from advisory boards of youth, parents, and providers and will pilot the program with families. They will first work with five parents of 10–14-year-old Latine youth to identify curriculum gaps and implementation barriers. Following refinement, a single-arm proof-of-concept trial with Latine parent-child dyads will test feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects on parents' racial-ethnic socialization competency (skills, confidence, and stress) and on youth emotional and behavioral symptoms. Sessions include a video- or audio-recorded parent-child interaction task and are available in English and Spanish at the PACT Lab in Harrisburg, PA.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, VIP-RACE could help Latine parents feel more confident and skilled in racial-ethnic socialization, which may support better emotional and behavioral outcomes for their 10–14-year-olds.
How similar studies have gone: Video-feedback parenting interventions have shown promise for improving parenting skills, but applying video-feedback specifically to racial-ethnic socialization is relatively novel and not yet widely tested.
