About this study

Official title: Participation in Preventive Parenting Interventions

This study evaluated the effectiveness of strategies for engaging parents into parenting programs. Engagement strategies included a booklet showing testimonial quotes and photos from prior participants, a recommendation to attend for the child's teacher, and a motivational call from the parenting program provider. It was hypothesized that the combination of engagement strategies would increase attendance at a parenting intervention compared to receiving only a promotional brochure and research interview.

What participants receive

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

  • Promotional BrochureOther

    Promotional brochure with information about the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and an enrollment form.

  • Family Testimonial FlyerOther

    Flyer that included quotes and photos from parents who had previously participated in the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and/or their children who participated in the free childcare.

  • Teacher EndorsementOther

    Brief conversation between the parent and their child's teacher in which the teacher told the parent about the benefits of participating in the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and recommended the parent attend.

  • Provider Engagement CallOther

    This was a manualized, 20-minute call from the Triple P Positive Parenting Program provider to a parent in which the provider elicited the parent's child-focused goals and showed how the parent's goals could be addressed by Triple P. The provider also helped the parent problem solve barriers to attendance and develop an action plan to handle common barriers (e.g., scheduling conflicts) as well as set session reminders.
