Predicting positive outcomes and successful completion in an online parenting program for parents of children with disruptive behavior: An integrated data analysis

Online‐delivered parenting intervention for young children with disruptive behavior problems: a noninferiority trial focused on child and parent outcomes

“…Potential limitations are worth noting: (a) The sample was reasonably heterogenous but did not include a large number of parents with very low educational attainment; (b) recruitment depended on multiple strategies, which is a potential strength for broad reach but might be a limitation when trying to compare outcomes to study samples that only include clinical referrals; (c) the study did not include documentation of process variations in how parents made use of the online program from day to day nor how two parents/caregivers operated within a household; and (d) the study has not yet analyzed putative predictors, moderators, or mediators of either ODI adherence or outcomes. The plan is to examine some of these factors to be able to relate the present study to recent studies predicting outcomes and completion for online programming (e.g., Day, Baker, Dittman et al., under review), with the goal of enhancing engagement and impact.…”

Multiple needs and multiple treatments. What's a clinician to do? Update on the psychosocial treatment of disruptive behaviours in childhood

“…Some include a live component using video conferencing technology that can include parent–child coaching [ 81 , 85 , 87 ]. Research on the efficacy of these online options has largely found them to have similar results to in-person treatment, with some higher rates of drop out [ 5 ▪ , 81 , 82 , 87 , 88 ]. A recent trial of Triple P found that an online version of program, without clinician coaching, was not inferior to an in-person, clinician-delivered version [ 5 ▪ ]; however, this trial was not conducted in a clinic-referred sample, and further research is needed to test the noninferiority of online-delivered interventions in clinical samples, which generally have more complex or severe needs.…”

“…There is some evidence that the parents who have historically been least likely to engage in PMT, such as fathers and single parents, are more likely to participate in online interventions [ 81 ]. In contrast, parents who experience more adjustment difficulties themselves benefit less from online programs [ 81 , 82 ].…”

“…The use of brief intervention formats has been suggested as another way to decrease wait times and improve engagement in ESTs [ 89 ]. Although some studies have reported significant reductions in child disruptive behaviour following only two or three PMT sessions [ 57 ▪ , 90 ] others have found that brief interventions result in smaller effects on disruptive behaviour compared with standard-length ESTs [ 82 ]. As a result, the potential for smaller effects must be weighed along with the potential benefits of increased engagement when considering brief intervention approaches.…”

The ecology of youth psychological wellbeing in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Once accessed, however, it is simply difficult to alter caregiving behaviour, let alone under conditions of an international pandemic. Moreover, findings suggest that parents who initially struggle with confidence and adjustment difficulties may require additional practitioner scaffolding (Day et al, 2021). Finally, despite the plethora of mental health apps over recent years very few have paid attention to individuals from marginalized and culturally-diverse groups in their development, and most lack evidence supporting their effectiveness (Ramos et al, 2021).…”
