- The primary goal of this nonrandomized pilot study was examining the credibility (e.g., participants’ expectations for success) and acceptability (e.g., participants perceiving that their needs were met) of Strength at Home–Parents (SAHP), a trauma-informed parenting intervention for Veteran parents with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A secondary goal was examining the intervention’s effects on family functioning, parenting behaviors (e.g., hostility, positive discipline, involvement, corporal punishment), and mental health (i.e., PTSD, depressive symptoms). 20 Veterans participated in the 8-week group intervention. Overall, the Veterans considered the intervention credible and acceptable, and reported improved family functioning and parenting behaviors following their participation.
