Filter by:While the primary aim is to improve family functioning via child moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and parent-child co-physical activity (PA), the proposed driver of these outcomes is parental support of child PA. Most theoretical models applied to understand parental support in family interventions have been social cognitive in nature, where intention is considered the proximal antecedent to behavior, it is not surprising that past approaches in family PA promotion center heavily on the antecedents of intention such as attitudes and perceived control. Nevertheless, a low correlation between intention and behavior in parental support of child PA has been demonstrated Thus, there is a need to continue to improve the effectiveness of family-based interventions in ways to sustain initial behavioral changes. Family-based promotion initiatives are also very timely because parents and children represent low activity groups
The goals of the pilot RCT examining the potential effectiveness of the Safe at Home program in DRC are to: 1. Determine the potential effectiveness of Safe at Home program on improvements of family functioning and secondary outcomes of reductions in intimate partner violence and child maltreatment 2. Determine the potential effectiveness of the Safe at Home program on changes in pathway outcomes such as attitudes towards harsh discipline, gender attitudes, power-sharing, positive parenting practices, etc.
The purpose of this study is to test the relative effectiveness of a Hispanic-specific eHealth intervention, "e-Health Familias Unidas," in preventing and reducing drug use, sexual risk behaviors, and STIs among Hispanic youth in primary care. Families will be recruited through four pediatric primary care settings. Pediatric staff and research team members, including nurse assistants and mental health professionals, will implement eHealth Familias Unidas.
The goal of this project is to conduct a pilot evaluation of a parent-child mediation program for at-risk youth. It is investigating whether families who receive parent-child mediation show greater improvement in family functioning, as well as adolescent substance use, academic performance, and delinquency, over a 6-week and 12-week period compared to a wait-list control sample.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care compared to treatment as usual (TAU) for adolescents in Denmark in need of out-of-home placement.
The study will evaluate the impact of a family-based intervention on the well-being of Burmese migrant and displaced children and families living in Tak province, Thailand. The methodology used in the impact evaluation study is a randomized waitlist controlled trial. The study hypothesizes that participation in a family-based intervention will lead to improved parenting practices and child and family outcomes, as follows. Primary hypotheses: 1. Parents/caregivers participating in the family-based intervention will report increased knowledge and use of positive parenting skills compared to control; 2. Parents/caregivers participating in the family-based intervention will report less use of physical punishment and other harsh forms of discipline compared to control; 3. Parents/caregivers and children participating in the family-based intervention will report higher levels of family functioning and cohesion compared to control. Secondary hypotheses: 1. Parents/caregivers and children participating in the family-based intervention will report lower levels of externalizing and internalizing child behaviors compared to control; 2. Parents/caregivers and children participating in the family-based intervention will report higher levels of child resilience and psychosocial well-being compared to control; 3. Parents/caregivers participating in the family-based intervention will report lower levels of alcohol use compared to control.
