Abstract

Measures of parenting constructs that are suited to sample and context are necessary in the development of evidence for models of family support. As parenting practices and values vary across history and cultures, it is important to consider the validity of measures of parenting for Indigenous families. This protocol outlines a scoping review that will seek to describe the scope of measures of parenting constructs that have been utilised with Indigenous families in comparative contexts of Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, and the United States, and describe the characteristics of new and adapted measures. Data extracted from articles will describe the parenting construct being measured, the sample involved in the study, the process for development or adaptation, how Indigenous leadership and perspectives have been included in measure design, and the psychometric qualities of measures. The scoping review will employ the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews, with data extraction drawing on aspects of the COSMIN and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool. Findings will be aligned with the cultural continuum of measure adaptation and development and presented in table and narrative formats. Findings will be disseminated via a peer-reviewed academic output. Conducted by a team of Indigenous and allied scholars, the scoping review aims to capture a snapshot of existing measures, identifying for practitioners and researchers measurement approaches that embed strengths-based perspectives and Indigenous knowledges of parenting.
