Parents across cultures and contexts have in common a desire to do what is best for their children and raise healthy, functioning members of society. A family’s local culture will influence how they raise their children and the values they teach them.

This research stream examines the intersection between culture and parenting. We conduct research that acknowledges the pivotal role of culture in the lives of families and to ensure evidence-based programs that are culturally appropriate and relevant are made available.
