Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a web-based parent training (Parenting Wisely) augmented with facilitated parent groups (referred to as PWRT). PWRT is designed to prepare parents for the reintegration of their adolescents in the home after intensive psychiatric residential treatment. Researchers will compare PWRT to treatment as usual to determine whether PWRT effects target mechanisms (i.e., family function, social support, parental self-efficacy, parenting practices) and adolescent outcomes (i.e., internalizing and externalizing behaviors, placement restrictiveness).


Description:

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design is employed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, engagement of target mechanisms, and preliminary effects of PWRT in parents with adolescents transitioning from residential treatment (RT) to the community. Parents (n=60) will be randomly assigned to receive Parenting Wisely augmented with facilitated discussion groups (referred to as PWRT; n=30) or treatment-as-usual (TAU; n=30). In the PWRT condition, parents will complete 2 web-based modules in an online parent training program called Parenting Wisely. Parents will also attend a 90-minute discussion group via Zoom. The RCT will allow for testing of target mechanism engagement (i.e., parental self-efficacy, parenting behaviors, social support, family function) and the intervention's effects on adolescent outcomes (i.e., internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors, placement restrictiveness). Parents will complete assessments at baseline (T1), six weeks post-baseline (T2), and six months post-baseline (T3) via REDCap. While adolescents (n=60) will not directly receive the intervention, they will complete assessments at baseline, six weeks post-baseline (T2), and six months post-baseline (T3). Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of PWRT. 1a. Evaluate the feasibility of PWRT by tracking the frequency, dose, and duration. 1b. Evaluate the acceptability of PWRT for parents with adolescents in RT. Aim 2: Determine the effects of PWRT on the target mechanisms compared to the TAU condition from baseline to 6-weeks and 6-months post-baseline. Aim 3: Determine the effects of PWRT on adolescent outcomes compared to the TAU condition from baseline to 6-weeks and 6-months post-baseline. 3a. Determine if changes in the target mechanisms are associated with adolescent outcomes at six weeks and six months post-baseline. Exploratory Aim: Explore the feasibility of collecting data from adolescents in an RT facility by tracking frequency (recruitment, enrollment, retention rates), duration (time between parent consent and assent; survey duration), and barriers to data collection.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Group attendance frequency (Feasibility) Group attendance is tracked and an average attendance rate across all sessions will be calculated Average calculated from baseline to 6-weeks post-baseline
Primary Parenting Wisely login frequency (Feasibility) The number of logins to Parenting Wisely is tracked and an average logins across all sessions will be calculated Average calculated from baseline to 6-weeks post-baseline
Primary Dose of PWRT (Feasibility) The number of modules in Parenting Wisely that are completed are tracked and an average completion rate across all sessions will be calculated Average calculated from baseline to 6-weeks post-baseline
Primary Duration of PW modules (Feasibility) The time spent completing modules in Parenting Wisely are tracked and an average duration rate across all sessions will be calculated Average calculated from baseline to 6-weeks post-baseline
Primary Duration of group (Feasibility) The time spent in group is tracked and an average duration rate across all sessions will be calculated Average calculated from baseline to 6-weeks post-baseline
Primary PWRT Acceptability Parents will complete an investigator-developed satisfaction survey to evaluate the acceptability of PWRT. The satisfaction survey consists of 13-items. Total scores range from 0-39; higher scores indicate greater perceptions of acceptability. 6-weeks post-baseline
Secondary Change in Adolescent Internalizing Behaviors Adolescent internalizing behaviors will be assessed using the Brief Problem Monitor (BPM) for ages 6 to 18. The BPM consists of 19 items derived from the Child Behavior Checklist. The subscales include internalizing, externalizing, and attention subscales. Raw scores range from 0-38; higher scores indicate greater internalizing behaviors. Change from baseline to 6-months post-baseline

Secondary Change in Restrictiveness of Living Environment The Restrictiveness Evaluation Measure (REM) will be administered to evaluate perceptions of adolescent placement restrictiveness. The REM was designed and tested in residential treatment settings. There are two subscales; one scale identifies 25 placement settings varying in restrictiveness and the second subscale consists of questions about the activity and lifestyle restrictions in such placements. Total scores range from 24-120; higher scores indicate more restrictive living environments. Change from baseline to 6-weeks post-baseline
