Online Parenting Program for Forcibly Displaced Families

This study is evaluating an online program called "Parenting in the Moment (PIM)" for parents who have experienced forced displacement. The program aims to improve child safety, child well-being, and adjustment. You might be able to join if you are a primary caregiver (at least 18 years old) to a child aged 6-12, live in the United States, and can complete the program and answer questions in English, Spanish, Arabic, or French. The study will compare families who use the PIM online program with those who receive a list of parenting resources. Researchers will measure child safety and well-being at the beginning, after 4 months, and again after 16 months to see if the program is effective. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to either the online parenting program or a list of resources. The study plans to enroll 720 participants.
What's involved
If you join, you would complete 12 online modules, one per week for 12-15 weeks, each taking about 20 minutes. You would also practice the tools learned between sessions.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Researchers will follow up with participants at 4 months and 16 months after the start of the study.

  • Emotion Coaching0-Baseline (timepoint 1); 4-month Posttest (timepoint 2); 16-month Posttest (timepoint 3)

    Observational Coder ratings will yield reliable and valid measures of parenting practices with short- and long-term predictive validity for child and parent outcomes. Rating will yield the primary construct: emotion socialization. Scale scores yield reliable Cronbach alphas (ranging from .74-.92) and interrater reliabilities in the 70-80% range.

Rating will yield the primary construct: positive parenting (family problem-solving, skill encouragement, positive involvement, monitoring).
