This report is based upon work supported by the Social Innovation Fund (SIF), a key White House initiative and program of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). The Social Innovation Fund combines public and private resources to grow the impact of innovative, community-based solutions that have compelling evidence of improving the lives of people in low-income communities throughout the United States. Greater Twin Cities United Way received funds from the SIF to serve as a grantmaking intermediary in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. As part of a competitive selection process, the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation (Wilder) was selected as the fiscal agent for the Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood's (SPPN) subgrant. The Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) was awarded the contract to evaluate several of the seven nonprofit subgrantee programs that received SIF funding from the United Way. Through the SIF award, Wilder and SPPN intended to deliver culturally contextualized versions of the Incredible Years program to African American and Hmong parent groups in the SPPN. This evaluation report will provide information about the cultural contextualization process and report on the effectiveness of the culturally-contextualized Incredible Years parent programs, specifically for African American and Hmong parents and children. The subgrant period reported here ran from April 15, 2013-December 31, 2015, which includes Year 1 (April 2013-April 2014), Year 2 (April 2014-April 2015), and a Year 2 no-cost extension (April 2015-December 2015). This report will provide background on the issue that was addressed with the proposed program model -- the cultural contextualization of the Incredible Years parenting program for African American and Hmong parent groups. The program theory, logic model, and outcomes of interest are also described because they helped to shape the implementation and impact evaluation questions and study design. Results for the implementation and impact evaluation are described followed by a conclusions section that summarizes the findings and provides recommendations.
