Abstract: The three primary goals of the review were to: 1) further validate what is already known about the barriers and facilitators of parent engagement in school based SEL programs for rural middle schoolers; 2) identify novel contributing factors to engagement in such programs; and 3) further elucidate current gaps regarding parent involvement in school-based SEL programs that are designed to improve youth's social and emotional health. This review followed PRISMA guidelines and utilized the PsychINFO and Education Source databases. A total of 2 records met full inclusion criteria and 2 additional records nearly met full inclusion criteria. Overall, the results of this review further validated some of the persisting gaps and challenges in the literature regarding improving and/or sustaining parent engagement in SEL programs for rural middle schoolers. SEL researchers, especially those in rural settings, should escalate these issues to become primary research questions in the future.
