Abstract Created by REACH:
The Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT) program was designed to improve parenting effectiveness among postdeployment military families with school-aged children. In this study, a randomized comparative effectiveness trial tested whether participants in 2 facilitator-led modalities of ADAPT (i.e., in-person group-based and web-facilitated telehealth 1-on-1) experienced greater increases in parenting compared to participants in a self-directed online modality. 244 National Guard/Reserve families were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 modalities. In-home parenting observations (i.e., problem solving, harsh discipline, positive involvement, skill encouragement, and monitoring) and parents’ self-reports of positive parenting, inconsistent discipline, and supervision were collected at baseline and follow-up (1 year later) to measure effective parenting. In general, the 2 facilitator-led modalities showed similar effects that were greater than those for the self-directed online modality.
