Parenting stress is correlated with negative child and parent outcomes. Accurate parenting stress assessments are critical to inform appropriate service delivery. This study used mixed methods to identify stressors influencing parents of Black children with autism. Twenty-two parents of Black children with autism participated in individual interviews; 19 of these parents also completed the Parenting Stress Index (4th edition). While we found some consistency between our qualitative and quantitative findings, the Parenting Stress Index did not capture key stressors parents described in interviews, including cultural factors (e.g., perception of provider pushback due to race), challenges related to single parenting, and neighborhood violence. We detail recommendations for family-centered and culturally relevant efforts to assess and address parenting stress in this population.

父母的压力与孩子和父母的负面结果相关。准确的育儿压力评估对于提供适当的服务至关重要。这项研究使用混合方法来确定影响自闭症黑人儿童父母的压力源。22名自闭症黑人儿童的父母参加了个人访谈。这些父母中有19位还完成了“父母压力指数”（第4版）。虽然我们在定性和定量研究结果之间找到了一定的一致性，但育儿压力指数没有抓住父母在访谈中描述的主要压力源，包括文化因素（例如，由于种族而对提供者的压迫感），与单亲育儿有关的挑战以及邻里暴力。我们详细介绍了以家庭为中心和与文化相关的努力的建议，以评估和解决该人群中的父母压力。
