Research

Early program of research focused on developing a better understanding of cross-cultural

dynamics present in therapy and advancing clinical models that more adequately fit the

cultural characteristics of Latino/a populations. This work has evolved into investigations of

preventive and clinical interventions that demonstrate effectiveness with at-risk and trauma

affected populations. Wieling was the recipient of a K01 Research Scientist Career

Development Award funded by NIMH called “Implementing the Parenting Through Change

Model with Latina Single Mothers” (2003-2008). The purpose of this study was to adapt and

extend upon the Oregon Social Learning Center’s Parent Management Training (PMT-O)

intervention for a population of Latina single mothers. Current research agenda involves

integrating previous cross-cultural work and prevention background to develop ecological and

culturally relevant multi-component interventions for populations affected by traumatic stress

– particularly related to organized violence, war, and disaster. This research is being

conducted with refugees and immigrant populations in the United States and in several

international contexts including Mexico, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Iraq. Wieling is a

vivo member (vivo.org) and conducts yearly trainings in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)

for clinicians working with populations experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms.

Current Domestic and International Research Projects

External Grants in Preparation

Wieling, E., Forgatch, M., Catani, C. (Co-PIs). Testing the effectiveness of implementation and

dissemination of a parenting intervention with families exposed to traumatic stress in Northern

Uganda. To be submitted to NIMH Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01),

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-055.html, June 2016.


Aims. The overall aim of the proposed study is to iteratively generate empirically based, locally

relevant knowledge to complement individual treatment approaches to war-related psychological

distress with (1) a trauma-focused parenting intervention disseminated in two modalities to test

uptake; and (2) develop and evaluate a specific implementation model to enhance adoption,

implementation, and sustainability of the parenting intervention. The parenting intervention is

intended to provide families affected by violence with more adaptive and effective child rearing

strategies, to reduce the incidence of family violence and to foster pro-social behavior and social

competence at school.
