简要总结
This study aimed to examine if technology could enhance the treatment engagement and outcomes of low income parents of 3 to 8 children with externalizing problems.
详细描述
The aim of this pilot study is to determine whether a technology-enhanced version of an established behavioral treatment protocol, Helping the Noncompliant Child (HNC; McMahon & Forehand), enhances the engagement and treatment outcomes of lower income parents of 3 to 8 children with externalizing problems in treatment. It is predicted that families in both the HNC and technology-enhanced HNC (TE-HNC) programs will evidence significant improvement in parenting behavior and child externalizing problems; however, it is predicted that parent-child dyads in the TE-HNC program will require fewer sessions, will be more likely to be retained in the program, will be more likely to remain engaged in the program (e.g., practicing skills between sessions etc.), and will be more likely to have active involvement from their coparenting partners (i.e., other adults and family members who participate in childrearing).In turn, it is expected that the TE-HNC program will boost treatment outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
Retention
时间窗: Baseline to Post-Intervention (average 8 to 12 weeks)
Retention assesses whether or not the family completed the full treatment program.
Mean % Sessions Attended as Scheduled
时间窗: Baseline to Post-Intervention (average 8 to 12 weeks)
Participation in each weekly session as scheduled was recorded for each family. Mean attendance of scheduled sessions was computed for each parent-child dyad and then for each group. For example, if a parent-child dyad required 8 sessions to master the program skills and attended all 8 sessions as scheduled they would have 100%. If instead, another parent-child dyad also required 8 sessions to complete the program, but half of those were rescheduled at least once. Then the overall average attendance is calculated across the parent-child dyads in each group. Greater scheduled attendance = optimal outcome.

- Mean Sessions for Complete Treatment(Baseline to Post-Intervention (Average 8 to 12 weeks))
- Mean Post-treatment Score Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI)(Baseline to Post-Intervention (average 8 to 12 weeks))
