“…An interesting thing was also found in the utilization of smartphone applications in childcare training programs. The use of smartphone applications in the program proved to support the retention of knowledge about child trauma for caregivers [32]. Today's parents may not need to worry; they have reliable and professional caregivers.…”

SPADA Brightspace is an e-learning platform designed for online Teacher Professional program learning activities. This platform has become a virtual learning environment with no boundaries of space and time between educators and students for a long time. It is equipped with various learning features and learning progress recorded by the system. This paper aims to determine the effectiveness of using SPADA Brightspace in improving pedagogical skills of participants in the Teacher Professional program. This research uses a quantitative approach using One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Also, the effectiveness was measured by the result of pre and post-test given to the participants based on several indicators such as the ability to design course plan (RPP), to compile teaching materials, to produce learning media, to create student activity sheets (LKPD), and to make evaluation instruments. By using descriptive statistical analysis, this study found that the SPADA Brightspace platform was effectively used for improving pedagogical skills of participants.

“…Among the studies, four did not report race or ethnicity of the sample, and the remaining samples were homogenous. Among studies that reported race or ethnicity, the majority (ranging from 79 -95%) of participants were either minority families (n = 3 [50,51,52] or Caucasian (n = 4 [53,54,55,56]). Information pertaining to socioeconomic status followed a similar pattern.…”

“…Information pertaining to socioeconomic status followed a similar pattern. Five studies included families who were identified as coming from a lower socioeconomic background [50,51,52,54,55]; two studies included participants experiencing financial stress [49,53]; and the remaining four studies either did not report income [57,58,59], or any other socioeconomic information [56].…”

“…Transferring treatment to a digital platform requires consideration of the intervention's theoretical framework and theoretical frameworks that promote behavior change in a mobile platform. Six of the studies explicitly discussed social learning theory [50,51,52,54,56,59], two discussed the coercion model [50,52], one discussed Bronfenbrenner's social ecological framework [55], and one discussed the transactional model of stress [57] as the main theoretical framework for the parenting interventions included in the apps. Four studies did not expressly mention the coercion model as a theoretical framework, but this model was implied through information related to app content [54,55,58,59].…”

Background: Adolescent substance use rates are staggering, and current treatment options are often lacking integration of parentfocused interventions, despite evidence that effective parenting practices can mediate adolescent substance use treatment outcomes. Accessibility challenges and other barriers to parental interventions may be mitigated through mHealth; however, there are few mHealth platforms that target adolescent substance use through the implementation of behavioral parent training strategies.Objective: The present study seeks to review current mHealth platforms within empirical literature designed to increase effective parenting through behavioral parent training techniques. Because of the paucity of mHealth modalities that target adolescent substance use through parenting strategies, this study adapted to review mHealth platforms that address child behavior problems as parent-targeted treatment for these clinical presentations overlap with those of adolescent substance use. Overall, the systematic review was conducted to inform future development of parent-focused mHealth apps for parents of youth engaged in substance misuse, improve accessibility, and align with parental needs and desires for treatment.Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA method across several databases. Each study was assessed for relevance and the determined inclusion criteria. Once identified as appropriate for inclusion, each study was reviewed for demographics, medium of delivery, standalone or enhancement to treatment, mobile device used, mental health condition, intervention used, theory of intervention, theory of behavior change in design, behavior change techniques, parent training techniques, youth outcomes, parent outcomes, visual design, content, and features. Results:Demographics ranged across studies. Most studies integrated social learning theory. Few studies discussed behavior change theories embedded in the mHealth treatment content; however, many studies described behavior change techniques utilized to encourage change in parental behaviors. Many mHealth studies tailored design features to the end user and integrated varying behavioral parent training techniques. Visual design was rated for studies that provided an image of the mHealth layout. Preliminary evaluation of treatment outcomes suggests positive impact of parent-targeted mHealth interventions for youth and parents.Conclusions: While features and techniques are references, few studies provide specific information related to behavior change theory, visual design, and translation of parent-targeted interventions to mHealth platforms. Such information would be useful for the development of future mHealth applications. Preliminary youth and parent outcomes are encouraging, though future studies should consider a meta-analysis as the studies expand to determine aggregate statistical findings. Additional future directions, limitations, and strengths are discussed.

“…22 Systematic reviews also demonstrate that smartphone apps have potential to connect users who otherwise have difficulty accessing treatment, and offer a low-cost, less burdensome alternative to standard psychological intervention. 23 Smartphone apps have demonstrated potential to effectively teach acceptance and mindfulness, 24 increase parenting knowledge and skills, 25,26 and support mothers' ability to regulate their emotions. 27 Social media interaction is also shown to provide less intimidating and more accessible means of obtaining information for new mothers.…”

Applying User-Centered Design in the Development of a Supportive mHealth App for Women in Substance Use Recovery

Purpose and Approach Women in recovery describe stigma, negative treatment, and limited support as barriers to achieving their health and parenting goals. Mobile health technologies carefully tailored to support the unique needs of recovery communities can provide less burdensome alternatives to in-person services for women transitioning out of substance use treatment. An iterative design process integrated women’s interests into the structure, content, and interaction flow of a mobile health (mHealth) app. Setting and Participants Participants included women in recovery from opioid, alcohol, and polysubstance use disorders in a comprehensive housing program in urban Arizona. Methods Five focus groups with 3–7 participants each (n = 27 total) informed creation of the mHealth app. Informed by theoretical models of usability and person-centered design, development involved an iterative series of focus groups in which we asked women to comment on interest in using each feature. This provided a qualitative priority framework for feature development. We then modified the app and repeated the process to gauge consensus and continually refine our prototype. Results Women were interested in access to resources, such as housing, counseling, and parenting advice in settings known to treat women in recovery with respect. They also asked for positive messages, chatting with peers, and access to expert answers. They were less interested in points-based learning modules and “scored” activities, leading us to develop a “daily challenges” concept that builds good habits, but does not feel like “classwork”. Women’s recommendations shaped an mHealth app tailored to maximize utility, access, and safety for this at-risk population. Conclusion Integration of user-centered design with applied ethnographic techniques guided the development of a custom-tailored mHealth app responsive to lived experiences and needs of women in recovery. Future research should evaluate the potential for user-centered apps to increase self-efficacy, perceived social support, and to reduce risk of relapse.
