ObjectivesTo determine the feasibility, concurrent validity and discriminatory power of the instrument for Identification of Parents At Risk for child Abuse and Neglect (IPARAN) among Dutch parents with a newborn child.SettingCommunity paediatrics.ParticipantsData from a controlled trial were used. In total, 2659 Dutch parents with a newborn child were invited to participate. Of the 2659 parents, 759 parents filled in the consent form and participated in the study.Primary and secondary outcome measuresConcurrent validity was determined by calculating correlations—using the Pearson’s correlation (r)—between the IPARAN score and related constructs from the following instruments: the Empowerment Questionnaire 2.0, the Family Functioning Questionnaire and the Parenting Stress Questionnaire. Discriminatory power was determined by calculating receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves between high-risk mothers and low-risk mothers according to their scores on the related constructs. Feasibility was determined by examining the percentage of missing answers.ResultsIn terms of concurrent validity, we found that 3 out of 12 correlations between the IPARAN score and related constructs were strong (ie, r>0.50) and 4 out of 12 were medium (ie, r=0.30–0.49). In terms of discriminatory power, mothers with a score in the borderline/clinical range or lowest 10 percent (P10) range of the related constructs (high-risk mothers) had a higher IPARAN score than mothers with a score in the normal range or highest 90 percent (P90) range of the related constructs (low-risk mothers). Effect sizes varied from d=0.37 to d=1.93, and the area under the ROC curve varied from 0.62 to 0.93. Regarding feasibility, the part of the IPARAN filled in by the mother had on average 0.7% missing answers, whereas the part of the IPARAN filled in by the father had on average 1.7% missing answers.ConclusionThe results of this study support the concurrent validity, discriminatory power and feasibility of the IPARAN among a population of Dutch parents with a newborn child.

BackgroundThe number of interventions to support parents is growing. The level of evidence regarding these intervention varies. In this paper we describe a study that aims to assess the effectiveness of specific ‘elements’ within such parenting interventions for families with children up to 7 years. A naturalistic effect evaluation will be applied. Study questions are: What is the exposure of parents to (elements of) parenting interventions in the daily practice of preventive youth health care?What are the associations between the exposure to (elements of) parenting interventions and outcomes in parents/children related to parenting and child development?Methods/designThousand parents/caregivers are recruited by preventive youth health care providers in the Netherlands. Measurements will be performed after inclusion and after 12-months follow up. Data regarding child/parent/caregiver characteristics, use of (parenting) interventions and care, and outcomes with regard to parenting skills, family functioning and child development will be collected. Outcomes will be compared between parents/children exposed and non-exposed to the (elements of) parenting interventions (adjusting for confounders).DiscussionWe hypothesize that parents/caregivers with exposure to (elements of) parenting interventions show (relatively more) improvements in parenting outcomes. Results will support intervention selection/development, and support communities/professionals to select appropriate intervention-elements.Trial registrationNetherlands National Trial Register number NL7342. Date of registration: 05-November-2018, retrospectively registered.

The goal of the Supportive Parenting Intervention is to prevent and/or decrease parenting stress and provide a sense of empowerment to parents with a newborn child. We evaluated the effectiveness of the Supportive Parenting Intervention in terms of parenting skills, social support, self-sufficiency, resilience, and child psychosocial health. A controlled trial with pre- and post-intervention testing was conducted in the setting of community pediatrics among parents at risk for developing parenting stress. The 177 parents in the control group received care-as-usual, whereas the 124 parents in the intervention group received six home visits by a trained Youth Health Care nurse during the first 18 months of the child’s life. The result with respect to parenting skills, social support (both from family and friends, and the partner), self-sufficiency, and resilience at the 18-month follow-up was either unchanged or (p < 0.05) worse compared to the respective baseline score for both groups. We found no significant difference between intervention and control group with respect to the child’s Child Behavior Check List (CBCL). This study shows no positive effect with respect to the indicators of parental empowerment. We recommend research to strengthen the intervention and its application in daily practice, for example by increasing the intervention duration, and to evaluate it in a large randomized controlled trial.
