Web‐Based Delivery of a Preventive Parent Training Intervention: A Feasibility Study

Abstract

Our preliminary findings suggest that Web-based delivery is a feasible approach to integrating mental health prevention into systems of care. Translating interventions to alternative delivery platforms is promising for nursing to increase access to evidence-based interventions.

Social Health Inequalities and eHealth: A Literature Review With Qualitative Synthesis of Theoretical and Empirical Studies

“…Although the digital divide still exists, it has diminished every year [43,44] with the use of mobile phones and other mobile devices [45], the reduced cost of technology and the Internet, as well as the spread of places where the Internet is free [40]. However, even though access is a crucial element in the utilization of a technology, this is not sufficient [12].…”

“…The utilization of mobile devices (tablets and mobile phones) is higher among people at risk of experiencing SHI [18]. This type of technology needs more research, but is still promising in terms of increasing access to eHealth [45,62,63]. Furthermore, a combination of online and offline tools may prove necessary, along with more traditional technologies such as the telephone, printed material, digital versatile disks (DVDs), and printed mail [49,53,57,64].…”

Developing the eCPP: Adapting an Evidence‐Based Parent Training Program for Digital Delivery in Primary Care Settings

“…The program materials are fully developed, including detailed manuals with session content, videos of narrator and parent‐child interactions, and practice assignments. Preliminary tests using a two‐session digital prototype of the CPP supported feasibility (Breitenstein & Gross, ).…”

A study protocol testing the implementation, efficacy, and cost effectiveness of the ezParent program in pediatric primary care

“…ezParent program-The ezParent Program is a 6-module, self-administered, tablet-based, parent training application that uses multiple strategies to promote learning in parents (see Table 1 for module topics and for a full description of the development of the program, see Breitenstein et al, [16]). The program is a delivery adaptation of the groupbased Chicago Parent Program [16,20] and was developed in collaboration with and managed by Klein Buendel, Inc. a technology company based in Denver, Colorado. Each module includes (a) didactic teaching of parenting skills using a video narrator describing parenting strategies, (b) video vignettes of parents and children as examples of how parenting strategies work, (c) questions following each vignette for parents to reflect upon, (d) interactive activities for parents to complete, and (e)multiple choice and true/false questions to assess parent understanding of the strategies [16] (see Appendix A for screen shots depicting various aspects of the program).…”

“…Income and economic hardship is assessed with a 12-item income inventory and an economic hardship scale (7 items). [20,29] In our previous study, Cronbach's alpha for the economic hardship scale was 0.68 [17]. Neighborhood and community characteristics will be collected using: (a) 4 items from the National Survey of Children's Health on perceived neighborhood social support [30], (b) 10-items from the Extent of Neighborhood Problems Scale [31] and (c) 4-items from the Fear of Crime Scale [31].…”
