DESCRIPTION:Valid and reliable measures of parenting constructs are crucial
  in parenting program evaluation and evidence. As childrearing varies acro
 ss cultures\, good measurement practices point to validating measures of p
 arenting within specific contexts\, however the extent to which this occur
 s in research with Indigenous caregivers is unclear. Across disciplines\, 
 Indigenous participants are generally poorly represented in the design and
  norming of measures. Furthermore\, when developed from Eurocentric and We
 stern standpoints\, measures assume universality of constructs\, their con
 ceptualisation and operationalisation. Conducted by an international team 
 of Indigenous and allied scholars\, this scoping review seeks to identify 
 measures of parenting constructs that have been applied in Indigenous fami
 ly-focused research in Australia\, Aotearoa\, Canada\, and the United Stat
 es. The review aims to describe the characteristics of measures\, includin
 g constructs\, psychometric qualities and the extent to which Indigenous l
 eadership and perspectives have been incorporated in their development and
  use. Data extraction draws on the Consensus-based Standards for the selec
 tion of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN)\, the Aboriginal and Torre
 s Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool and the cultural continuum of mea
 sure adaptation and development. Seven databases were searched\, yielding 
 5\,805 deduplicated records for title and abstract screening\, with 185 so
 ught for retrieval. Full text screening resulted in around 90 records for 
 inclusion. Preliminary findings from the data extraction suggest substanti
 al use of existing measures developed in non-Indigenous contexts\, with so
 me measures adapted on a surface structural level in attempts to increase 
 contextual relevance. There were\, comparatively\, fewer culturally ground
 ed measures\, or deep adaptations in the included studies. Reporting of In
 digenous leadership and contextual knowledges were inconsistent\, indicati
 ng that greater emphasis needs to be placed on genuinely describing how In
 digenous families\, communities and scholars have led or participated in m
 easure selection and adaptation. Identification of parenting measures acro
 ss the cultural continuum will be helpful for program evaluators and pract
 itioners to make informed decisions on measures\, and promote the adoption
  of measures that reinforce strengths-based approaches that are meaningful
 ly aligned with the experiences and needs of Indigenous families.
