Stress Clinical Trial
Official title:
Utilizing Smart Speaker Technology to Deliver Parenting Education Support to Parents of Young Children
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).
Parents provide consent for their own participation, as well as the participation of their target child (their child aged 3-5 years who presents the most behavioral challenges). After consent, primary parents complete the baseline (T1) questionnaire via the Qualtrics online assessment platform and then are provided an Echo Dot with the Bedtime Routine module enabled. After 4 weeks post-baseline, they are administered the T2 questionnaire. This design allows evaluation of T1-T2 change and satisfaction/usability of the Bedtime Routine prototype module. T1 and T2 questionnaires measure primary parents' parenting practices, self-efficacy, and stress; children's behavior, emotional adjustment, and sleep problems; and the parent-child relationship. The T2 questionnaire also contains measures of parent satisfaction, acceptability, and usability of the Talk Parenting skill, as well as any difficulties experienced, or problems made worse. Demographics are collected at T1. T1 and T2 questionnaires are administered via Qualtrics, an online assessment tool. Project staff follow-up with parents as needed to encourage questionnaire completion in a timely manner. Parents are paid $20 per assessment. Families are provided an Echo Dot device with the Talk Parenting skill already enabled using a research Amazon account created for each family. The Echo Dot devices are paired with portable auxiliary battery packs to enable mobile use within the home, so that the device can be carried from room to room during execution of the bedtime routine. The devices are preconfigured by project staff onto research Amazon accounts. All families are provided a pre-configured wifi adaptor that creates a wifi network specific for the Echo Dot device to connect to. After the baseline assessment (T1), primary parents are mailed their Echo Dot device, portable auxiliary battery pack, wifi adaptor, and set-up instructions; staff provide follow-up phone support as needed. Usage data show whether families have used the device; project staff contact the parents to assist set up if parents have not enabled/used the device within 2 weeks. To ensure exposure to Talk Parenting, parents are asked to engage with the skill at least twice per week (or at least eight times); project staff prompt parents two to three times (via text, email, or phone, depending on parents' preference) during the 4-week period to encourage usage and provide technical support as needed. At the end of the study, families are asked to return the wifi adaptor to the project offices; families are free to keep the Echo Dot device and auxiliary battery pack. ;
