Abstract:
Internet-based parent training is a promising intervention approach for child disruptive behavior. However, engagement in these interventions is limited. The Parenting Young Children Check-up (PYCC) was designed to improve engagement in internet-based parent training programs via three components: 1) an initial check-up, 2) text messages, and 3) a website. This proof-of-concept trial used feedback from parents and pediatric clinic staff to evaluate feasibility as well as the extent to which the initial check-up was associated with behavioral intentions to use the PYCC website. Pediatric staff and parents rated the PYCC highly, and parents reported interest in using the PYCC website.
