Clinical Trial Summary

This project is a multi-stage evaluation of GenPMTO (Generation Parent Management Training - Oregon Model). GenPMTO is a parenting programme which involves trained practitioners using active teaching approaches (such as group problem-solving, role-play, and video modelling) to support caregivers in using positive parenting strategies at home. The programme is designed to improve parenting practices, as well as a range of outcomes for young people, including improving academic performance, reducing school exclusions, and reducing offending and criminal behaviour. The version of the programme investigated in this project is delivered to groups of parents.


Clinical Trial Description

This project represents the first attempt to deliver and evaluate GenPMTO in the UK. To do so, the Ending Youth Violence Lab, at the Behavioural Insights Team, is conducting a multi-stage evaluation, involving delivering the intervention across three London boroughs, with a focus on caregivers of 8-14-year-old children and young people (CYPs), who are identified to have risk factors associated with involvement in violence. To design this project, the Lab has collaborated with two partners. The first is ISII (Implementation Sciences International, Inc.), a research-based, non-profit organisation based in the USA, which implements the GenPMTO programme, in partnership with the programme developers. ISII also trains community practitioners in its use across the world. The second partner is Barnardo's, the UK's largest children's charity, and the delivery partner for the project. This entry refers to the first 2 stages of the project, which will run concurrently: Stage 1 - Adaptation and training - The purpose of this Stage is to prepare for initial delivery and the feasibility testing of delivery, by making any adaptations that may be necessary for the UK context and beginning practitioner training. - The research objectives of this Stage firstly focus on identifying whether the programme may require adaptations to fit into the UK context and identifying and justifying appropriate adaptations. Secondly, the investigators want to identify whether sufficient numbers of practitioners can be recruited and trained within the budget of the project, and to identify the optimal approach to recruitment and training of future practitioner cohorts to allow delivery at a larger scale. Stage 2 - Feasibility study The purpose of this Stage is to understand the feasibility of delivering GenPMTO to the caregivers of children who have been identified as being at risk of violence, through testing recruitment, retention, fidelity, etc. The investigators will also conduct further adaptation to the programme as necessary, responding to what we learn from practitioners and caregivers who have experienced the programme for the first time. The specific research objectives here focus on: - Feasibility - Can Barnardo's recruit and retain caregivers of children who meet inclusion criteria and are at risk of youth violence, and deliver the programme withfidelity? - Acceptability - Is the GenPMTO programme seen as acceptable and valuable by caregivers and practitioners in a UK context? - Evaluability - Firstly, is there sufficient demand and capacity to deliver GenPMTO at a scale required for a randomised control trial? Secondly, is it feasible to collect outcome data from participants, which would support robust outcome data collection procedures during a pilot and/or efficacy trial? This will involve delivering the programme in 3 London boroughs, and collecting a range of survey data and conducting qualitative interviews with caregivers and with practitioners to explore the above questions. The investigators will collect pre- and post-programme outcome data using a range of self-report measures, to explore the potential for future robust evaluation (rather than to assess programme impact). ;
