Trial summary

The Parenting Young Children Check-up (PYCC) is a 3-part system for parents of children with Disruptive Behavior Problems (DBPs). First, at a pediatric visit, parents complete a screener for DBPs and, if reported, go through a tablet-based program to receive feedback and learn about the PYCC. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pediatric Motivational mHealth Parent Training for Child Disruptive Behaviors

The Parenting Young Children Check-up (PYCC) is a 3-part system for parents of children with Disruptive Behavior Problems (DBPs). First, at a pediatric visit, parents complete a screener for DBPs and, if reported, go through a tablet-based program to receive feedback and learn about the PYCC. Next, parents receive text messages to connect them to further parent training content. Third, parent training content is delivered via a web-based resource, which includes videos to teach parenting skills. In this proof-of-concept trial, the investigators will examine the acceptability of the tablet-based program and motivation of parents to engage in the PYCC and use the web-based resource.

At a pediatric visit, parents will be told about the research opportunity by a staff member before, during, or after their visit. There will be a flier for parents, which will be available for receptionists to include with in-take paperwork. If parents express openness to participating, a research assistant will meet with them, go over the consent form, and let them complete the screener. Parents will complete a demographics questionnaire and the DBP screener. If parents report elevated DBPs, then they will be eligible to further participate. If they are eligible and choose to participate, the research assistant will have them go through the tablet-based program. Next, they will complete a brief questionnaire asking for input on the PYCC. Each of these components will be completed in the Computerized Intervention Authoring System (CIAS). The brief questionnaire is intended to evaluate perceptions of 1) ease of use, 2) usefulness of the information, 3) likability, and 4) intentions to use the PYCC web-based resource. Items will be rated on a 0 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree) scale. Parents will also verbally answer 6 open-ended interview questions about the program and suggest improvements. Answers will be audio-recorded and transcribed. All participants (whether only completing the screening or both parts of the study) will receive a resource list as well as a list of URLs to access videos on the video-based content on PYCC website. An ID number will need to be entered to use the website and the investigators will track website use.

This data collection is not hypothesis driven. Rather, the intent is to gather mixed methods feedback from parents to shape the PYCC program.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Parenting Young Children Check-up (PYCC)Behavioural

    The PYCC intends to motivate parents to learn behavioral parenting strategies to reduce child disruptive behavior.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intentions to Use the Parenting Young Children Check-up Web-based Resource: Quantitative

    Two items (created for this project) were used to assess this outcome. Parents were asked their intentions to use the web-based resource (i.e., videos on the website). Items were rated on 5-point Likert scale (0 = Definitely Disagree, 4 = Definitely Agree). To create the final score, the two items were averaged with a possible range from 0-4 with higher scores indicating stronger intentions to use the Parenting Young Children Check-up web-based resource.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Intentions to Use the Parenting Young Children Check-up Web-based Resource: Qualitative

    One oral question, asking if parents intent to use the Parenting Young Children Check-up web-based resource, tapped into this outcome. Responses from participants were coded to reflect what percent of parents were interested in using the web-based resource, what percent of parent are not interested in using the web-based resource, and what percent are unsure.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Perceived Ease of Use of the Parenting Young Children Check-up Program

    Five questionnaire items (created for this project) were used to assess this outcome. Parents were asked about perceived ease of use of each part of the program. Each of the 5 items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Definitely Disagree, 4 = Definitely Agree); higher scores indicate more perceived ease of use. An average ease of use score was computed by averaging the responses to the 5 items; the possible range was from 0-4 with higher scores indicate more ease of use).

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Perceived Usefulness of the Parenting Young Children Check-up Program

    Seven questionnaire items (created for this project) were used to assess this outcome. Parents were asked about perceived usefulness of each part of the program. Each of the 5 items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Definitely Disagree, 4 = Definitely Agree); higher scores indicate more perceived ease of use. An average usefulness score was computed by averaging the responses to the 5 items; the possible range was from 0-4 with higher scores indicate more ease of use).

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Likeability of the Parenting Young Children Check-up Program

    Four questionnaire items (created for this project) tapped into this outcome. Parents were asked about how much they like each part of the program. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Definitely Disagree, 4 = Definitely Agree); higher score indicated more likability. An average likability score was computed by taking the average of the 4 responses; possible range from 0-4 with higher scores indicate more likability.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Suggestions for Program Improvements

    One oral interview question ("Tell me your ideas about how to make the program better?') will tap into this outcome. Responses will be coded for specific suggestions to improve the Parenting Young Children Check-up program.

    Measured: Baseline
