Evaluation Study of Talk Parenting Skills

United States98 participantsStarted 2021-09-01

Plain-language summary

After development of the prototype Bedtime Routine module of the Talk Parenting program, the investigators will evaluate its feasibility and initial efficacy in a within-subjects pre-post design study. Through recruitment partner agencies, the investigators will recruit a sample of 49 at-risk families (49 primary parents, 49 target children). Primary parents will be assessed at enrollment via online an questionnaire, then provided an Amazon Echo Dot and asked to use the Bedtime Routine module for 4 weeks. They will then be re-assessed with the online questionnaire at 4 weeks (at treatment completion). Although children were considered enrolled participants that actively participate in the intervention, we obtained no assessment data from the children themselves.
