Treatment and study plan

Fathering Through Change

Behavioral

Fathering Through Change is an adaptation of Parent Management Training Oregon. This pilot provides a limited version of Fathering Through Change via text messaged and emailed weekly video content and includes individual coaching calls.

Primary outcomes

  1. TOPSE: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months on the Tool of Parenting Self-Efficacy

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks and baseline to 4 months

    The Tool to Measure Parenting Self-Efficacy (TOPSE) consists of 48 self-efficacy statements. There are six self-efficacy statements for each domain and parents indicate how much they agree with each statement by responding to a Likert scale from 0-10 where 0 equates to completely disagree and 10 equates to completely agree. We administered the play, acceptance, and control domains. The overall score (0-10) was computed as the mean of these three sub-scale means. A higher overall score indicates greater self-efficacy.

  2. PPI Harsh: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months the Parenting Practices Interview Harsh Parenting Subscale

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks and baseline to 4 months

    The Parenting Practices Interview is a standardized instrument to measure parenting skills. The harsh parenting sub-scale is computed as the average (1-7) of 6 items. Lower scores are more desirable.

  3. PPI Inept: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months the Parenting Practices Interview Inept Parenting Subscale

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks and baseline to 4 months

    Parenting Practices Interview is a standardized instrument to measure parenting skills. The inept parenting sub-scale is computed as the average (1-7) of 11 items. Lower scores are more desirable.

  4. PPI Prosocial: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months the Parenting Practices Interview Prosocial Parenting Subscale

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks and baseline to 4 months

    Parenting Practices Interview is a standardized instrument to measure parenting skills. The prosocial parenting subscale is computed as the mean of 15 items on all rated on a 1-7 scale. Higher scores are more desirable.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Substance Use: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months on Any Use in the Last 30 Days

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks and baseline to 4 months

    Substance use is collected using the Center on Parenting and Opioids substance use questionnaire. We measured substance use as a dichotomous variable: any use of alcohol, cannabis, and illicit substances in the past thirty days.

  2. Substance Use: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months on Days of Use the Last 30

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks and baseline to 4 months

    Substance use is collected using the Center on Parenting and Opioids substance use questionnaire. We measured substance use count variable: number of days using of alcohol, cannabis, and illicit substances in the past thirty days.

  3. SDQ: Group Mean Change at 4 Months on Child Behavior

    Time frame: baseline to 4 months

    Child behavior as measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire overall score. This scale includes twenty-five items rated on a 3-point scale ranging from 0 to 2. There are five subscales each composed of 5 items: emotional regulation, conduct, hyperactivity, peer problems, and prosocial behavior. The prosocial scale was not used for analyses and the twenty items remaining were summed into an overall score (0-40). Higher scores are more desirable.
