Effectiveness of a Web-enhanced Parenting Program for Military Families

360 participantsStarted 2010-07-15

Plain-language summary

The proposed project will produce and test the first combined group-online prevention program for reintegrating parents - "ADAPT: After Deployment Adaptive Parenting Tools". We will conduct a randomized effectiveness trial of the program, compared with a 'services as usual' (tip sheet) comparison group among 400 military families identified in the RFA as a special population: reintegrating Army National Guard parents.

Inclusion criteria

✓. one parent has returned from deployment to OIF or OEF,
✓. at least one child in grades preK-6 in their custody and living with parent(s) in the home, and
✓. high speed internet access at home (a recent MN study indicates that 97% deployed families have internet, with 70% using internet daily; Sayer et al., 2009). We will include both single-and two-parent families, as well as families where care is shared between non-partnered adults (e.g. grandparent and mother), and will control for relationship status in analyses. Participants must live within an hour's travel time of the Twin Cities Metro area, St Cloud, Mankato, Duluth, agree to randomization, and indicate willingness to interact with study materials and complete assessment batteries.

Exclusion criteria

✕. active psychosis,
✕. an open child protection case for abuse or neglect in the family,
✕. a serious child mental health diagnosis,
✕. families who participated in the pilot ADAPT intervention (usability or feasibility) study described in Aim 1. MN NG data indicate that fewer than 10% families would be excluded based on a-c, above (personal correspondence, Polusny).
