DESCRIPTION:Thesis Title: Examining the Role of Patient Provider Race Conco
 rdance in Implementation Outcomes of SafeCare \n\nStudent Concentration: H
 ealth Promotion & Behavior\n\nThesis Chair: Dr. Daniel Whitaker\n\nThesis 
 Abstract: \n\nBACKGROUND: Behavioral parenting training (BPT) intervention
 s serve as successful tools in improving client relationships by directly 
 impacting the parents’ knowledge\, skills\, beliefs\, and behaviors. Alt
 hough programs such as Triple P and SafeCare have shown success\, BPT inte
 rventions tend to encounter issues in parent engagement to support interve
 ntion outcomes. Parents’ engagement in parenting programs is determined 
 by many factors\, including the extent to which they find their provider c
 ulturally competent. \n\nPURPOSE: This study intends to understand if raci
 al concordance between the provider and the client affects SafeCare implem
 entation outcomes\, such as completion\, satisfaction\, and skill acquisit
 ion. By examining these outcomes\, this study will provide valuable inform
 ation into a previously proposed solution to retention in BPT programs for
  Black clients.  \n\nMETHODS: This analysis examined 8300 clients receivin
 g SafeCare. Chi-square and analysis of variance were used to determine how
  racial concordance and client race impact SafeCare completion\, the numbe
 r of SafeCare sessions completed\, client satisfaction\, and skill mastery
  of each module based on pre- and post- evaluations. \n\nRESULTS: This stu
 dy found that the interaction between racial concordance and client race w
 as significant in the number of SafeCare sessions completed (F (1\, 8296) 
 = 4.76\, p = 0.03)\, client satisfaction (F (1\, 3642) = 17.93\, p = <0.00
 1)\, and skill mastery (Health Module: F (1\, 4837) = 25.86\, p = <0.001\;
  PCI or PII Module: F (1\, 3839) = 7.71\, p = 0.01\; Safety Module: F (1\,
  3127) = 20.21\, p = <0.001). Furthermore\, White clients in racially conc
 ordant delivery were more likely to complete SafeCare (χ2 (1) = 13.20\, p
  = .003).
