Using NCAST and the HOME with a minority population: the Alaska Eskimos
Purpose:
To test applicability of the NCAST and HOME assessment tools in the Eskimo population.
Method:
A cross-sectional descriptive study of Alaskan native families from two villages used the NCAST and HOME child assessment tools. Comparisons using t-test were made to normative data. ANCOVA was used to test effects of demographic differences.
Results:
Several significant differences were found on subscales of the NCAFS, NCATS, and HOME, although the total scores of the NCAFS and the NCATS were not significantly different. Caregiver education and ethnicity were significant covariates.
Conclusions:
NCAFS and NCATS appears to have sufficient breadth to allow for cultural differences. The HOME scale items measure some aspects of the environment that appear to be culture specific.
