Evaluating ezParent for Parents of Young Children
This study is testing a program called ezParent, which aims to help parents strengthen their parenting skills, reduce child behavior problems, and increase positive child behaviors. ezParent is a web-based program that also includes four group sessions, either online or in person. You might be able to join if you are a parent or legal guardian of a child aged 2-5 years old, speak English or Spanish, and have a smartphone, tablet, or computer with Wi-Fi. The researchers will measure changes in parenting skills and child-parent relationships at the beginning of the study, and then again at 10 and 24 weeks later. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 516 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 516 participants. It uses a cluster-randomized design, meaning groups of participants will be assigned to either receive the ezParent program or be on a waitlist.
- What's involved
- You would complete surveys at the start of the study, and then again 10 and 24 weeks later. If in the intervention group, you would participate in the web-based ezParent program and four group sessions over approximately 8 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 24 weeks after the baseline measurements.

What this trial measures
- Multidimensional Assessment of Parenting Scale (MAPS) Parent-form - Version 2.0Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline
A 35-item scale measures parenting practices constituting both positive and negative dimensions of warmth/hostility and behavioral control appropriate for parents of children across the developmental span from young childhood through adolescence. Parents respond to each item on a 5-point scale from "Never" to "Always". Possible range= 0-175
- Child-Parent Relationship Scale-Short Form (CPRS-SF)Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline
The CPRS-SF has 15 items that parents rate their perception of their relationship with their child. The measure taps into positive and negative aspects of parent-child relationships. The CPRS-SF is rated on a 5-point scale with two subscales of closeness and conflict. Possible range= 0-35
- Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC)Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline
The Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC) has 17 items, with 2 subscales: satisfaction (person's liking of the parenting role) and efficacy (person's perceived competence in the parenting role). Scale: 6-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 6 = strongly agree) Minimum item score = 1 Maximum item score = 6 Subscale scoring (satisfaction and efficacy): Higher scores means a better outcome
- Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is 25-items with five subscales: emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity-inattention, peer problems, and prosocial behavior. A total difficulties score (TDS) is generated from the emotional, conduct, hyperactivity- inattention, and peer problems scales. Scale: 3-point scale (not true, somewhat true, and certainly true). Minimum item score = 0 Maximum item score = 2 Minimum subscale score = 0 Maximum subscale score = 10 Subscale scoring - Prosocial subscale: Higher score means a better outcome All other subscales (emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer): Higher scores means a worse outcome
