Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) among parents enrolled in the Chicago Parent Program (ChiPP) in their child's school and whether those experiences are associated with a) parents' participation in ChiPP and b) program benefits for parents and children.

Description:

Purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) among parents enrolled in the Chicago Parent Program (ChiPP) in their child's school and whether those experiences are associated with a) parents' participation in ChiPP and b) program benefits for parents and children. Parents who enroll in ChiPP groups in their child school are eligible to participate in this study. Data on ACEs, and PCEs are collected at baseline. Parent perceptions of their children's behavior problems and their engagement in early learning are collected at baseline and post-intervention data. Parent satisfaction with ChiPP and their sense of connection with other parents in their ChiPP group are measured at post-intervention only.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Program participation	Number of Chicago Parent Program group sessions attended (range from 0-12 sessions)	immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Primary	Parent-reported child behavior frequency using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory	Parent-reported child behavior problems measured using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory. We will measure behavior problem frequency (scores range from 36-252). Higher scores indicate higher frequency.	change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Primary	Parent-reported child behavior problems using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory	Parent-reported child behavior problems measured using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory. We will measure whether the parent believes the behavior is a problem (scores range from 0-36). Higher scores indicate more child behavior problems.	change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Primary	Parent - Adverse childhood experiences	number of adverse childhood experiences during parent's first 18 years of life assessed by parent report using the Philadelphia ACEs measure. Number of adverse childhood experiences assessed at baseline only. Includes two sub scales: the Conventional ACE sub scale (15 items measuring adversities in one's home) and the Expanded ACE sub scale (6 items measuring adversities in one's community). Scores can range from 0-21. Higher scores indicate more exposures to childhood adversity	baseline
Primary	Parent - Positive childhood experiences	number of positive childhood experiences during parent's first 18 years of life assessed by parent-report at baseline using the Positive Childhood Experiences scale. Scores can range from 0-7 with higher scores indicating more exposures to positive childhood experiences.	baseline
Primary	Parent Satisfaction	Parent's satisfaction with the Chicago Parent Program intervention as assessed at post-intervention only and measured using the Chicago Parent Program Parent Satisfaction Form. Measure includes 19 items assessing the extent to which they and their child benefitted from the program (scored on a Likert-type scale), aspects of the program that were most and least beneficial, and the extent to which they would recommend the program to other parents. Each item is scored and interpreted separately.	immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Secondary	Social connectedness	parent-reported Likert-type measure of the extent to which parents developed a sense of connection and belonging with the other parents in the Chicago Parent Program intervention group. Measured using the 25-item Intervention Group Environment Scale and items are measured along a 5-point continuum of strongly disagree to strongly agree. Includes 3 sub scales measuring sense of belonging, quality of the group facilitation, and conflicts among members within the group. Scores can range from 0-5 with higher scores indicating greater social connectedness.	immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Secondary	Parent engagement in early learning-Teacher Report	Measures teacher's perspective on the extent to which parents are engaged in their child's learning. Measured using a teacher-report measure (Teacher-Reported Parent Engagement in Child's Education) adapted from Fast Track measure of parent engagement. Teacher-Reported Parent Engagement in Child's Education includes 5 items assessed rated on a Likert-type scale; scores can range from 5-25 with higher scores indicating greater parent engagement from the perspective of the teacher. Measure completed by teachers.	change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Secondary	Parent engagement in early learning-Parent Report	Measures the extent to which parents perceive they are engaged in their child's learning. Measured using the Parent Engagement in Early Childhood Education (PEECE) Survey. The PEECE Survey includes 25 items rated on a Likert-type scale. Scores can range from 25-100 with higher scores indicating greater engagement in their child's education.	change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months
Secondary	Quality of parent participation in the intervention group	quality of each parent's participation in the Chicago Parent Program group sessions is assessed by group leaders using the Parent Engagement Rating Scale.
