We studied the implementation-process of a collaborative community programme (Promising Neighbourhoods) aiming to impact local urban youths’ health, safety and talent development and reduce socioeconomic health differences. In three intervention neighbourhoods categorised as having low, middle and high problem severity, an integrated community programme was implemented and compared to three similar neighbourhoods in which the programme was not implemented. Due to contextual challenges, some of the planned data-collection activities could not be executed as intended. We compensated for this by collecting alternative data where possible. Focus group discussions were conducted among community stakeholders and additionally among municipal professionals on the operational and tactical-strategic level to examine ‘assets’, ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’ of the programme. Questionnaires were administered among parents of 0- to 12-year-olds to additionally examine care or service use and participation in organised activities by parents and children. Project documentation was additionally used to examine ‘outputs’. Focus group data was analysed using thematic coding, The parent questionnaire was analysed for differences post-implementation using chi-square tests and project documentation was summarized descriptively. The intervention neighbourhoods formed broad networks of stakeholders and succeeded in shared priority setting and developing integrated action plans. Choosing interventions for implementation was regarded as difficult. Data-gathering by the municipality on intervention implementation and reach of target populations did not succeed. The parent questionnaire yielded no differences between intervention and comparator neighbourhoods in care or service use or participation in organised activities by parents or children post-implementation. The findings indicate that although some steps in the programme seemed successful, future research with a longer follow-up period that takes into account the challenges to study the implementation-process of integrated community programmes is needed to further elucidate which components contribute to the desired impact of integrated community programmes.
我们研究了一个合作社区项目(有希望的社区)的实施过程,该项目旨在影响当地城市青年的健康、安全和人才发展,并减少社会经济健康差异。在三个问题严重程度分为低、中、高的干预社区中,实施了综合社区计划,并与三个没有实施该计划的类似社区进行了比较。由于环境方面的挑战,一些计划的数据收集活动无法按计划执行。我们通过尽可能收集替代数据来弥补这一点。在社区利益相关者和市政专业人员之间进行了焦点小组讨论,在业务和战术战略层面审查了该方案的“资产”、“投入”和“产出”。对0至12岁儿童的父母进行问卷调查,以进一步调查父母和儿童对护理或服务的使用情况以及参与有组织的活动。项目文件还用于检查“输出”。使用专题编码对焦点小组数据进行分析,使用卡方检验对家长问卷进行实施后差异分析,并对项目文档进行描述性总结。干预社区形成了广泛的利益攸关方网络,成功地共同确定了优先事项并制定了综合行动计划。选择实施干预措施被认为是困难的。市政当局收集的关于干预措施实施情况和目标人群覆盖范围的数据没有成功。家长问卷调查显示,在实施后,在护理或服务的使用或父母或儿童参与有组织的活动方面,干预社区与比较社区之间没有差异。调查结果表明,虽然方案中的一些步骤似乎是成功的,但今后需要进行更长后续期的研究,考虑到研究综合社区方案的执行过程所面临的挑战,以进一步阐明哪些组成部分有助于实现综合社区方案的预期影响。

Accumulative adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been shown to increase the risk of physical and mental health issues in children. More recently, accumulative positive childhood experiences (PCEs) have been shown to lessen the negative impact of ACEs; however, the research to date has rarely included children in foster care. We investigated the cumulative association between ACEs and PCEs among youth in foster care (N = 19,888) ages 5–18 in a midwestern state between 2011–2023 on the likelihood of mood challenges (MCs), including affective dysregulation, anger control, anxiety, and depression. We further stratified by age, biological sex, and race. ACEs were associated with a greater likelihood of MCs, while PCEs were associated with decreased likelihood of these outcomes. The effect of PCEs was greater for affect dysregulation and anger control compared to anxiety and depression. In the affect dysregulation and anger control model, PCEs have associations, as measured by beta coefficients, nearly three times and ten times those of ACEs, respectively. Whereas PCEs also have a higher association in depression and anxiety models, the differences are less pronounced, highlighting the potentially distinct role of positive experiences with others on children’s emotion regulation.
累积的不良童年经历(ace)已被证明会增加儿童身体和心理健康问题的风险。最近,累积的积极童年经历(pce)已被证明可以减轻ace的负面影响;然而,迄今为止的研究很少包括寄养儿童。我们调查了2011-2023年间美国中西部一个州5-18岁寄养青少年(N = 19,888)的ace和pce在情绪挑战(MCs)可能性方面的累积关联,包括情感失调、愤怒控制、焦虑和抑郁。我们进一步按年龄、生理性别和种族分层。ace与更大的mc可能性相关,而pce与这些结果的可能性降低相关。与焦虑和抑郁相比,pce对情绪失调和愤怒控制的影响更大。在情绪失调和愤怒控制模型中,通过beta系数测量,pce与ace的关联分别接近3倍和10倍。尽管pce在抑郁和焦虑模型中也有较高的相关性,但差异不太明显,这突显了与他人的积极经历对儿童情绪调节的潜在独特作用。

Background

Limited research has thoroughly examined the experiences of families intergenerationally involved with Child Protective Services (CPS), which restricts our understanding of their complex realities. Building on a previous latent class analysis (Kern et al., 2025), this descriptive study aimed to document clinically relevant profiles of Quebec urban families intergenerationally involved with CPS.

Methods

A sample of 108 children and their parents were categorized into four groups based on prior latent class analyses of child substantiated child maltreatment (CM): (1) Risk of CM (n = 11), (2) Highly Polyvictimized (n = 30), (3) Sexual Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Neglect (n = 25), and (4) Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Psychological Maltreatment (n = 42). Drawing on CPS case file data, the study provided group comparisons on parental psychosocial functioning of families in each group, including mental health problems, substance use, criminal behaviour, chronic illness or disability, and contextual adversity.

Results

Findings indicate that all families faced a significant number of challenges. Distinct clinical profiles also emerged among the groups. Notably, mothers in the Risk of CM group often presented significant histories of childhood neglect, substance use, and criminal involvement, highlighting systemic challenges in breaking the cycle. The Highly Polyvictimized group was characterized by pervasive trauma, with parents frequently exhibiting substantial mental health issues and job insecurity.

Conclusions

Findings highlight distinct patterns of vulnerability across CM subgroups, underscoring the need for tailored interventions, such as targeted prenatal interventions for families at risk of CM.
有限的研究已经彻底检查了家庭代际参与儿童保护服务(CPS)的经验,这限制了我们对其复杂现实的理解。基于先前的潜在分类分析(Kern et al., 2025),本描述性研究旨在记录魁北克城市家庭代际CPS的临床相关资料。方法对108名儿童及其父母进行潜在类别分析,将其分为4组:(1)有儿童虐待风险(n = 11),(2)多重受害(n = 30),(3)性虐待、身体虐待和忽视(n = 25),(4)接触亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)和心理虐待(n = 42)。利用CPS案件档案数据,该研究对每一组家庭的父母心理社会功能进行了分组比较,包括心理健康问题、药物使用、犯罪行为、慢性疾病或残疾以及环境逆境。结果调查结果表明,所有家庭都面临着大量的挑战。不同的临床特征也出现在各组之间。值得注意的是,CM风险组的母亲通常有明显的童年忽视、药物使用和犯罪前科,这突出了打破这种循环的系统性挑战。高度多重受害者群体的特点是普遍存在创伤,父母经常表现出严重的心理健康问题和工作不安全感。研究结果强调了不同CM亚组的脆弱性模式,强调了量身定制干预措施的必要性,例如针对有CM风险的家庭进行针对性的产前干预。

The Anxious Protection dimension of the Short Version of the Multidimensional Overprotective Parenting Scale (AP-s-MOPS) has been widely used to assess adolescent-perceived over-parenting, yet its measurement invariance has not been tested explicitly so far. In this light, the present cross-cultural longitudinal study first examined the AP-s-MOPS’s original factor structure and then tested its invariance across countries (i.e., China and Belgium), across types of relationship (i.e., father-child and mother-child relationships) and across meso-timescales. We further investigated mean-level difference in over-parenting when scalar invariance was established. Using data from a three-wave longitudinal study (with three-month intervals) involving 809 adolescents: 73.7% Chinese (N = 596, Mage = 15.05, SD = 1.27, 48.2% boys) and 26.3% Belgian adolescents (N = 213, Mage = 14.22, SD = 1.57, 55.0% boys), the results of confirmatory factor analyses provided support for the one-factor structure of the AP-s-MOPS in Chinese and Belgian sample. We found that partial scalar invariance for the mother-child and father-child relationship across China and Belgium at the first time point, full scalar invariance at subsequent time points, and full scalar invariance across father-child and mother-child relationships at each time point. Furthermore, the AP-s-MOPS exhibited partial scalar invariance over time for the mother-child relationship in China, full metric invariance over time for the father-child relationship in China, and full scalar invariance over time for all two types of relationship in Belgium. Finally, mean-level difference test suggested that adolescents reported higher levels of maternal over-parenting compared to paternal over-parenting, while there was no evidence for significant mean-level differences between China and Belgium or across time. The present research supported the AP-s-MOPS as a reliable instrument for cross-cultural and meso-longitudinal research on over-parenting.
摘要多维过度保护教养量表(AP-s-MOPS)的焦虑保护维度已被广泛用于评估青少年过度教养的感知,但其测量的不变性至今尚未得到明确的检验。鉴于此,本研究首先考察了AP-s-MOPS的原始因素结构,然后检验了其在不同国家(如中国和比利时)、不同类型的关系(如父子关系和母子关系)和中观时间尺度上的不变性。当标量不变性成立时,我们进一步研究了过度养育的平均水平差异。采用三波纵向研究(间隔为三个月)809名青少年的数据,其中73.7%的中国人(N = 596, Mage = 15.05, SD = 1.27,男孩48.2%)和26.3%的比利时人(N = 213, Mage = 14.22, SD = 1.57,男孩55.0%),验证性因子分析结果支持中国和比利时样本AP-s-MOPS的单因素结构。研究发现,中国和比利时的母子和父子关系在第一个时间点呈部分标量不变性,在随后的时间点呈全标量不变性,在每个时间点呈父子和母子关系全标量不变性。此外,AP-s-MOPS在中国母子关系中表现出部分标量不随时间变化,在中国父子关系中表现出完全度量不随时间变化,在比利时两种关系中表现出完全标量不随时间变化。最后,平均水平差异检验表明,与父亲过度养育相比,青少年报告的母亲过度养育水平更高,而中国和比利时之间或跨时间的平均水平差异不显著。本研究支持AP-s-MOPS作为跨文化和中纵向过度养育研究的可靠工具。

Exploring parents’ repertoire of everyday resistance in child welfare services — Towards a power-sensitive understanding of resistance 探索父母在儿童福利服务中的日常抵制行为——走向对抵制的权力敏感理解

Tension between help and control is characteristic of many welfare services. Although resistance is a common reaction to control, it has received less attention in the social sciences than does power. This paper draws on the concept of everyday resistance to empirically and theoretically study how parents in contact with the Norwegian child welfare service (CWS) resist the well-meaning power of the service. The analysis demonstrates that parents in contact with the service draw on a vast repertoire of everyday resistance: avoidance, the involvement of persons outside the service, constructive resistance, objection and pretending to accommodate. Parents’ resistance and the contexts in which it occurs reveal that relationships between child welfare workers (CWWs) and parents are not simply straightforward power dynamics in which all parents are equally subordinate to the service. Rather, these relationships are fluid, evolve over time, and are shaped by both material conditions and discursive frameworks—factors that are closely tied to the parents’ class background. Recognising resistance as a natural phenomenon within child welfare services (CWS) is a crucial first step toward becoming more attuned to everyday acts of resistance, particularly subtle acts, which marginalised families more often play out. By listening closely to parents’ resistance, we recognise them as knowledgeable subjects whose insights can contribute to more reflexive and sensitive services.
帮助和控制之间的紧张关系是许多福利服务的特点。尽管抵抗是对控制的一种常见反应,但在社会科学中,它受到的关注不如权力。本文利用日常抗拒的概念,从实证和理论两方面研究与挪威儿童福利服务(CWS)接触的父母如何抗拒该服务的善意力量。分析表明,与服务机构接触的父母会利用日常抵制的大量手段:回避、服务机构以外的人参与、建设性抵制、反对和假装适应。父母的抵制和这种抵制发生的背景表明,儿童福利工作者(CWWs)和父母之间的关系不是简单的直接的权力动态,在这种关系中,所有的父母都平等地服从于服务。相反,这些关系是流动的,随着时间的推移而演变,并受到物质条件和话语框架的影响——这些因素与父母的阶级背景密切相关。认识到抵制是儿童福利服务(CWS)内部的一种自然现象,这是迈向更加适应日常抵制行为,尤其是边缘化家庭更经常出现的微妙行为的关键的第一步。通过仔细倾听家长的反对意见,我们认识到他们是知识渊博的主体,他们的见解可以有助于提供更具反身性和敏感性的服务。

The United States has the largest population of individuals who are incarcerated in the world; the majority are parents of minor children. This exploratory, mixed methods study described developmental differences in visiting experiences among children and parents in jail. The sample included 101 child-caregiver-parent in jail triads. Children were 3–17 years (M = 7.32, SD = 3.64 years; 52 % female). Researchers administered the Jail Prison Observation Checklist (quantitative data) and wrote open-ended descriptions of visits (qualitative data). Logistic regression revealed that younger child age was associated with increased likelihood of attachment behaviors (e.g., holding hands) and dysregulation (e.g., whining). Older child age related to higher likelihood of serious/somber affect. Qualitative themes situated in an ecological systems framework included child characteristics, attachment with caregivers and parents in jail, family interactions, jail talk, saying goodbye, caregiver stress, parent-caregiver interactions, and corrections environments. This study highlighted the importance of developmental considerations while supporting children with parents in jail.
美国是世界上被监禁人数最多的国家;大多数是未成年子女的父母。这个探索性的、混合方法的研究描述了儿童和父母在探视经历中的发展差异。样本包括101个监狱黑社会中的儿童看护父母。儿童年龄3 ~ 17岁(M = 7.32, SD = 3.64岁,52%为女性)。研究人员管理了监狱监狱观察清单(定量数据),并撰写了开放式的访问描述(定性数据)。逻辑回归显示,儿童年龄越小,依恋行为(如牵手)和行为失调(如哭闹)的可能性越高。儿童年龄越大,患严重/忧郁影响的可能性越大。生态系统框架中的定性主题包括儿童特征、与看护者和父母在监狱中的依恋、家庭互动、监狱谈话、告别、看护者压力、父母-看护者互动和矫正环境。这项研究强调了在支持父母身陷囹圄的儿童时考虑发展因素的重要性。

Youth with significant behavioral problems present challenges for the child welfare system and effective treatments are needed. Few interventions have stronger evidence than Multisystemic Therapy (MST) for reducing adolescent behavior problems and out-of-home placement. However, standard delivery of MST does not provide tailored guidance for working collaboratively within the child welfare setting and, in some cases, may not address the needs of the service system. The need for modification to address system challenges to the treatment model became evident during implementation of MST in a large child welfare preventive services system. This paper utilizes the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications to Evidence-based Implementation Strategies (FRAME-IS; Miller et al., 2021; Wiltsey Stirman et al., 2019) to describe how modifications, labeled MST-Prevention (MST-PRV), were developed, evaluated, and documented while retaining the evidence base of the original treatment model. Pilot data compared outcomes for families receiving MST-PRV versus standard MST in 2024. Results suggest that MST-PRV was model-adherent and delivered strong outcomes typical of MST, including a high proportion of youth who completed treatment, remained living at home, attended school or work, had no new arrests or maltreatment reports, and demonstrated significant improvements in problematic behaviors. Potential benefits of the MST modifications to child welfare preventive service system partners are discussed.
有严重行为问题的青少年对儿童福利制度提出了挑战,需要有效的治疗。在减少青少年行为问题和家庭外安置方面,很少有干预措施比多系统治疗(MST)有更有力的证据。然而,MST的标准交付并没有为在儿童福利环境中协同工作提供量身定制的指导,在某些情况下,可能无法满足服务系统的需求。在大型儿童福利预防服务系统中实施MST期间,对治疗模式进行修改以解决系统挑战的必要性变得明显。本文利用报告基于证据的实施策略适应和修改框架(FRAME-IS; Miller等人,2021;Wiltsey Stirman等人,2019)来描述如何开发、评估和记录标记为MST-Prevention (MST-PRV)的修改,同时保留原始治疗模型的证据基础。试点数据比较了2024年接受MST- prv和标准MST的家庭的结果。结果表明,MST- prv具有模式依从性,并提供了典型的MST强有力的结果,包括高比例的青少年完成了治疗,仍然住在家里,上学或工作,没有新的逮捕或虐待报告,并在问题行为方面表现出显着改善。讨论了MST修改对儿童福利预防服务系统合作伙伴的潜在好处。

Studies on child participation reveal a significant gap between the declaration of child participation in their own protection and provision processes and the reality of such participation. Reviews of children’s experiences indicate a tendency for children to be ignored or to be engaged merely symbolically. Without meaningful child participation, there is a greater likelihood of overestimating or underestimating violence, misidentifying children’s needs, and selecting protection and provision measures that are not effective enough. It is therefore essential to investigate the factors that prevent meaningful child participation. The views of professionals who decide whether and how to involve children in decision-making, and the obstacles they encounter in achieving child participation in protection and provision processes, are fundamental. This article aims to analyse the obstacles to ensuring child participation based on the everyday experiences of child welfare professionals. To achieve this goal, the following objectives have been set: (1) to identify obstacles to child participation related to the attitudes of street-level bureaucrats towards child participation; (2) to identify obstacles to child participation related to social, organisational, and institutional factors in child protection; and (3) to provide recommendations on how to improve the quality of child participation in child protection and provision processes. The study is based on theoretical approaches of street-level bureaucrats and meaningful child participation. Semi-structured qualitative interviews with child welfare professionals were used to collect empirical data. Sixteen child welfare specialists participated in the study, conducted from November to December 2022. Data analysis identified obstacles that significantly limit the child participation in the child protection process. These include the paternalistic and protectionist approaches of professionals towards children, the influence of their parents (prohibiting communication with specialists, failure to create a safe environment, manipulation of the child’s opinion), lack of specialist competence and measures to facilitate child participation, as well as time constraints and heavy workloads. In practice, the interaction of these obstacles creates conditions for children to be ignored or for their participation to be tokenistic. The article provides conclusions and recommendations for removing the identified barriers.
关于儿童参与的研究表明,在儿童参与保护和提供自己的过程的宣言与这种参与的现实之间存在重大差距。对儿童经历的回顾表明,儿童倾向于被忽视或仅仅象征性地参与。如果没有有意义的儿童参与,就更有可能高估或低估暴力,错误识别儿童的需求,以及选择不够有效的保护和提供措施。因此,必须调查妨碍儿童有意义参与的因素。决定是否和如何让儿童参与决策的专业人员的意见,以及他们在实现儿童参与保护和提供过程中遇到的障碍,都是至关重要的。本文旨在根据儿童福利专业人员的日常经验,分析确保儿童参与的障碍。为了实现这一目标,制定了以下目标:(1)确定与街头官僚对儿童参与的态度有关的儿童参与障碍;(2)识别与儿童保护方面的社会、组织和体制因素有关的儿童参与障碍;(3)就如何提高儿童参与儿童保护和提供过程的质量提出建议。该研究基于街头官僚和有意义的儿童参与的理论方法。采用对儿童福利专业人员的半结构化定性访谈来收集实证数据。16名儿童福利专家参与了这项研究,于2022年11月至12月进行。数据分析确定了严重限制儿童参与儿童保护进程的障碍。这些问题包括专业人员对儿童的家长式和保护主义态度、父母的影响(禁止与专家交流、未能创造安全的环境、操纵儿童的意见)、缺乏专业能力和促进儿童参与的措施,以及时间限制和繁重的工作量。在实践中,这些障碍的相互作用为儿童被忽视或象征性地参与创造了条件。本文为消除已确定的障碍提供了结论和建议。

Background

Connectedness is central to Maslow’s hierarchy and has been identified as a positive childhood experience (PCE). Connectedness can occur across the social ecology and can be particularly important for families affected by substance use by fostering resilience.

Objective

This qualitative study sampled communities experiencing varying rates of opioid overdose mortality and foster care entries to better understand connectedness among children, parents, caregivers and at the individual-, relational-, community- and systems-levels as a PCE.
Participants and Setting: The sample included six counties from three states that were selected based on their rates of opioid overdose mortality and foster care entries.

Methods

Using purposive sampling within counties, interview and discussion group participants included multi-sector community partners (N = 76), parents whose children had been removed due to parental substance use (N = 25), and caregivers of children who had been removed from their homes (N = 56). We used inductive thematic analysis to examine the data.

Results

Connectedness was identified as an important theme across participant types. Community partners identified programs that promoted connectedness for children (e.g., mentoring) as important prevention strategies. Both parents and caregivers across all communities described the importance of connecting with peers and their children. Caregivers expressed the need to connect to other caregivers and to their case workers for additional support. Connectedness between programs and systems at the community level were also important determinants of a comprehensive system of care for parents and children.

Conclusions

The implications for prevention of parental substance use and related childhood adversities are discussed, including the importance of connectedness as a primary prevention strategy at multiple levels of the social ecology.
背景连通性是马斯洛层次理论的核心,被认为是一种积极的童年经历(PCE)。连通性可以发生在整个社会生态中,通过培养恢复力,对受药物使用影响的家庭尤为重要。目的:本定性研究以经历阿片类药物过量死亡率和寄养入院率不同的社区为样本,以更好地了解儿童、父母、照顾者之间的联系,以及作为pce的个人、关系、社区和系统层面。参与者和环境:样本包括来自三个州的六个县,这些县是根据阿片类药物过量死亡率和寄养入院率选择的。方法采用县内有目的抽样,访谈和讨论组参与者包括多部门社区合作伙伴(N = 76)、因父母使用药物而被带走儿童的父母(N = 25)和被带走儿童的照顾者(N = 56)。我们使用归纳主题分析来检验数据。结果连通性被确定为跨参与者类型的重要主题。社区合作伙伴将促进儿童联系的项目(如辅导)确定为重要的预防策略。所有社区的父母和看护人都描述了与同龄人和孩子联系的重要性。照顾者表示需要与其他照顾者和他们的个案工作者联系,以获得额外的支持。社区一级的项目和系统之间的联系也是父母和儿童护理综合系统的重要决定因素。结论讨论了预防父母物质使用和相关童年逆境的意义,包括在社会生态的多个层面上,连通性作为初级预防策略的重要性。

Parent group facilitators’ reflections on accessibility of in-person and videoconference meetings 家长小组辅导员对面对面会议和视频会议可及性的思考

During the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitators of preexisting parent groups (including support groups, parent education, and playgroups) quickly shifted meetings from in-person (IP) to videoconference (VC) format. This study explores facilitators’ perceptions of each meeting format’s affordances and/or constraints on accessibility. Such perspectives are pertinent as organizations decide how to provide services to families with young children, a population at higher risk for contagious viruses. Ten facilitators of parent groups for families of children prenatal to 5 years old engaged in one of four 90-minute VC focus groups to share experiences facilitating VC parent group meetings. Facilitators from organizations providing basic needs services saw IP meetings affording parents greater accessibility due to the interactions or services offered to recruit parents (e.g., providing meals, diapers, connection to resources, etc.). They felt that difficulties with virtual participation made VC parent group meetings less accessible for parents. Yet, other facilitators experienced in VC believed that VC meetings improved parent accessibility by eliminating travel and geographic barriers. They saw IP meetings as restrictive for parents with issues commuting, getting out of the house with their children or maintaining health and safety boundaries. For all facilitators, VC meetings were shorter, more frequent, and offered at a wider variety of times than IP, which some facilitators believed improved accessibility. No facilitators considered IP or VC meetings as the sole format to address all parents’ accessibility needs. These nuanced findings imply a need to identify both the subcomponents of accessibility to programming as well as the heterogeneous accessibility needs of participants and staff.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,已有的家长小组(包括支持小组、家长教育和游戏小组)的协调员迅速将会议从面对面(IP)转变为视频会议(VC)形式。本研究探讨了主持人对每种会议形式的支持和/或对可访问性的限制的看法。这些观点与各组织决定如何向有幼儿的家庭提供服务有关,幼儿是感染传染性病毒风险较高的人群。10名有产前至5岁儿童的家庭家长小组的主持人参加了四个90分钟的VC焦点小组之一,分享了促进VC家长小组会议的经验。来自提供基本需求服务的组织的协调员认为,IP会议通过为招募父母提供的互动或服务(例如,提供膳食、尿布、资源连接等),为父母提供了更大的可访问性。他们认为,虚拟参与的困难使家长更不容易参加VC家长小组会议。然而,其他在风险投资中有经验的主持人认为,风险投资会议通过消除旅行和地理障碍改善了家长的可达性。他们认为IP会议对那些有通勤问题、带孩子出门或保持健康和安全界限的父母来说是一种限制。对于所有的引导者来说,VC会议比IP会议更短、更频繁,而且提供的时间更多样化,一些引导者认为这提高了可访问性。没有辅导员认为IP或VC会议是解决所有家长无障碍需求的唯一形式。这些细微的发现意味着需要识别编程可访问性的子组件以及参与者和工作人员的异构可访问性需求。
