Culturally Relevant Coparenting Interventions for Diverse Families: A Scoping Review

The current study is a scoping review on coparenting interventions with diverse families to assess how the characteristics, needs, and perspectives of participating coparents are addressed. We followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Eligibility criteria: participants belonged to racially minoritized groups (≥ 50% sample); studies reported on an intervention; the intervention targeted the coparental relationship OR assessed coparenting as an outcome. Demographics, study, and intervention characteristics, and the process and content of cultural adaptation were extracted. A systematic search was last executed in April 2025 in PsycINFO and MEDLINE, which yielded 1875 records. Following abstract/title screening, 409 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 35 studies were included in the review. Studies prioritized surface-level (e.g., language) over deep-level dimensions (e.g., goals). Few studies used an adaptation framework. We discuss how researchers and clinicians can consider the unique experiences of coparenting in diverse communities.
