Filter by: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 52 at-risk families (52 primary parents, 52 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).
The present study aims to examine the effectiveness of a parenting intervention, the Triple P Positive Parenting Program Level 3 discussion groups "dealing with disobedience". Triple P is a system of interventions to support families and was developed at the University of Queensland in Australia in the 1980's. As few studies have tested the effectiveness of parenting programs in developing countries, the present study took place in a developing country, Panama. In a recent study carried out in Australia, this same intervention was found effective in reducing child behaviour problems and the use of dysfunctional parenting (Morawska, Haslam, Milne & Sanders, 2011).
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.
