Parenting Clinical Trial
Official title:
Integrating Computer-Assisted Parent Training Therapy Into Community Mental Health Clinic Practice
This study will evaluate a low-cost, low-intensity, computer-based model for delivering parenting skills to parents of adolescents in a community mental health clinic. This intervention has the potential to improve public health and community practice by making empirically-supported treatment techniques more available. We believe this approach will improve the efficiency of treatment delivery by integrating computerized and therapist delivered approaches, and there is potential for significant improvements in efficacy of parent training with this model.

Primary | Change in Psychometric Analysis of the Perceptions of Computerized Therapy Questionnaire-Patient Version | The PCTQ-P is an instrument for assessing consumers' perceptions of computer-based therapies that are distinguishable from traditional help-seeking attitudes. There are 35 items that can be divided in 6 sub-scales to measure subtle perceptions; relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, observability, trial-ability and future use intentions. | Change from Baseline Psychometric Analysis of the Perceptions of Computerized Therapy at 6 months | |
Primary | Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire | The CSQ asks parents to rate their satisfaction with treatment delivery, their child's treatment progress, and their ability to manage their child's problems. Parents rate 11 items along a 7-point scale and answer 5 open-ended questions about their experience in treatment | 3 months after start of intervention | |
Primary | Change in Psychometric Analysis of the Perceptions of Computerized Therapy Questionnaire- Clinician Version | an instrument for assessing clinicians' perceptions of computer-based therapies that are distinguishable from traditional help-seeking attitudes. There are 35 items that can be divided in 6 subscales to measure subtle perceptions; relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, observability, trial-ability and future use intentions. | Change from Baseline Psychometric Analysis of the Perceptions of Computerized Therapy at 3 months and 6 months | |
Primary | Change in Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale | A 15 question reliable tool to evaluate the attitudes of providers who specialize in child and adolescent mental health toward Evidence Based Practice. | Change from Baseline Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale at 3 months and 6 months | |
Primary | Change in Perceived Characteristics of Intervention Scale | The PCIS is a 20 question reliable assessment measure of perceived characteristics of interventions, and will be specified towards the intervention, Parenting Wisely. | Change from Baseline Perceived Characteristics of Intervention Scale at 3 months and 6 months | |
Primary | Change in Qualitative Interviews | Qualitative feedback from interviews with parents, providers, and program managers will also be conducted. All quaAlitative interviews will be videotaped, transcribed verbatim and coded for nonverbal behaviors in addition to verbal content. We will use an interview guide to ensure the adequacy and quality of data. The guide will be refined to reflect unanticipated topics that arise and integrate these emergent topics and questions[40]. We will approach the interview as a collaborative process with participants and interviewers will encourage each participant to talk freely about the therapeutic process, coverage of parenting skills, and topic areas in PW. Broad questions will be followed by probes and unstructured questions based on areas raised by participants to encourage elaboration and clarification but limit influence from the interviewer. | Change from Baseline Qualitative Interviews at 3 months and 6 months | |
Primary | Change in Pediatric Symptom Checklist | A well-known measure to help primary care providers assess the likelihood of finding any mental health disorder in their patient. The questionnaire consists of 17 items on behavior or emotional problems. | Change from Screening Pediatric Symptom Checklist at 3 months and 6 months | |
Secondary | Parent Monitoring Questionnaire | The PMQ is a 24 item youth and parent report measure designed to assess parental monitoring and sources of parental knowledge. The monitoring subscale has demonstrated good reliability (alpha = .82 parents, .85 youth) and correlates with adolescent internalizing and externalizing maladjustment, deviant peer relationships, and family discord. | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | McMaster Family Assessment Device | This measure includes the following sub-scales assessing parenting skills: Problem Solving (i.e., the family's ability to resolve problems in ways that maintain effective family functioning.); Family Roles (i.e., the extent to which tasks are clearly and equitably distributed among family members); Communication (i.e., the extent to which verbal messages between family members are clear); Affective Involvement (i.e., the extent to which family members are interested in and placed value on each other's activities); Affective Responsiveness (i.e., the extent to which family members experience appropriate affect in response to stimuli); Behavioral Control (i.e., the extent to which the family expresses and maintains standards for the behavior of its members). All items are rated on a 4-point scale and the sub-scales have adequate reliability. | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale | The PACS is a youth and parent report measure that assesses positive and negative aspects of general parent-teen communication and the content and process of parent-teen interactions. The two sub-scales have good reliability (alpha = .77 - .88) and have been shown to correlate with teen engagement in problem behavior. | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | Parenting Self Efficacy | This 10-item scale assesses the degree of parents' confidence in implementing specific parenting skills. | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | FAsTask Video Code | The FAsTask is a video-taped family problem solving task that will be used to provide an in-vivo assessment of parenting behaviors. We have limited the assessment to tasks that align with our primary aims. Specifically, parent-teen dyads will be prompted to spend 5 minutes on each of the following: 1) teen leads a discussion about a time without supervision and parents seek additional information (monitoring and listening); 2) parents lead a discussion on setting limits over the previous month (limit setting) and then communicate rules to the teen; 3) parents and teens problem solve around an issue; and 4) positive recognition when the parent praises the teen. | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | Issues Checklist | This measure will work to decipher distressed families versus non distressed families and addressing and identifying the issues. | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | Disruptive Behavior Disorder Rating Scale | The DBDRS which is comprised of the DSM symptom lists for ADHD, ODD, and CD. It uses a 4-point response scale completed by parents for questions regarding ADHD and ODD and a yes/no format for CD symptoms to assess behavior problems within the past month. The DBDRS has been shown to have excellent psychometric properties | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | Child and Adolescent Services Assessment (CASA) | This is a semi structured interview for parents and teens/children to assess service utilization for emotional, behavioral, and substance use problems. It addresses a range of services including inpatient, emergency room services, residential treatment centers, detention centers, probation, foster home services, hospitalization, in-home services, family therapy and outpatient services. The teen will complete questions regarding services related to school including boarding school, therapeutic/behavioral school, school support and school professional services | Baseline assessment, 3 months after start of intervention, 6 months after start of intervention | |
Secondary | Working Alliance Inventory | The WAI is an 11-item measure in which parents are asked to rate their alliance with their therapists on a 7-point Likert scale. This measure examines factors such as having a collaborative approach to treatment, perceived expertise, trust, and establishing shared goals. | 3 months after start of intervention. |
