RESUMO
Positive Indian Parenting (PIP) is a culturally based training developed by the National Indian Child Welfare Association in the mid-1980s that has been widely used across Indian Country. However, quantitative studies on its efficacy have not been conducted. This manuscript reports on the study design and development of an ongoing pilot study evaluating PIP and related adaptations that occurred within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Adaptations to the study were required to accommodate social distancing requirements, including changing to virtual platforms for curriculum delivery, fidelity monitoring, and data collection. Lessons learned include the importance of flexibility and supportive collaborations among study partners, including unique relationships with funders, that have enabled the ongoing study adaptations during the pandemic.
