Parents prioritize weekday evening meeting times and expert-led programs for prevention services. Conjoint analysis reveals practical program delivery aspects are key for families.

Area of Science:

  • Consumer behavior research
  • Public health program development
  • Family studies

Background:

  • Understanding parental preferences is crucial for designing effective family-focused prevention programs.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the specific features parents value in such programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply conjoint analysis, a consumer research technique, to understand parents' preferences for prevention programs.
  • To identify key features and program attributes that influence parental choices.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted with 202 parents of preadolescents in rural Midwestern counties.
  • Conjoint analysis software guided computer-assisted telephone interviews to assess preferences for 39 program features across 11 categories.

    • Program meeting time emerged as the most critical feature category.
    • Parents strongly preferred weekday evening sessions, instruction by child development specialists, and research-based programs.
    • Multiple-session programs incorporating preferred features received higher ratings than single-session programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant variations exist in the perceived value of different prevention program features among parents.
    • Practical aspects of program delivery, such as scheduling and facilitator expertise, are highly important to parents.
    • Conjoint analysis is a valuable tool for optimizing prevention program design based on consumer preferences.
