Treatment and study plan

Families Moving Forward (FMF) Teacher adapted training

Behavioral

The FMF Connect Teacher Companion website is designed to offer teachers evidence-based education about FASD and strategies to support students with FASD. It is adapted from the FMF Program and FMF Connect, evidence based interventions to support caregivers of children with FASD. The FMF Program and FMF Connect aim to improve caregivers' efficacy and satisfaction as a parent, efficacy, attributions for their child's behavior, and the parent-child relationship.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Mean Knowledge About FASD From Baseline to 6 Weeks

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks

    Teacher FASD knowledge will be measured using the "Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Knowledge" survey. The survey scores range from 0-33 with higher scores indicating more knowledge about FASD.

  2. Change in Personal Efficacy Mean From Baseline to 6 Weeks

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks

    Personal efficacy will be measured by the Personal Efficacy subscale of the Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale. This subscale has 5 items and ranges from 5-30, with higher scores indicating higher perceived personal efficacy.

  3. Change in Teaching Efficacy Means From Baseline to 6 Weeks

    Time frame: baseline to 6 weeks

    Teaching efficacy will be measured by the Teaching Efficacy subscale of the Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale. This subscale has 5 items and ranges from 5-30, with higher scores indicating higher perceived teaching efficacy.

  4. Mean Difference in Sensory Seeking Attributions at 6 Weeks

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Sensory seeking attributions will be measured using the "Reasons for Children's Behavior" survey. This subscale has 5 items and scores range from 5-30, with higher scores representing higher endorsement of sensory seeking attributions.

  5. Mean Difference in Sensory Avoiding Attributions at 6 Weeks

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Emotional support seeking attributions will be measured using the "Reasons for Children's Behavior" survey. This subscale has 4 items and scores range from 4-24, with higher scores representing higher endorsement of emotional support seeking attributions.

  10. Mean Difference in Dysregulated Behavior Attributions at 6 Weeks

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Dysregulated behavior attributions will be measured using the "Reasons for Children's Behavior" survey. This subscale has 3 items and scores range from 3-18, with higher scores representing higher endorsement of dysregulated behavior attributions.

  11. Mean Overall Quality of Website (Website Group Only)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Overall quality will be measured using the Mobile Application Rating Scale - user version. Overall quality is a sum of the Engagement, Functionality, Aesthetics, and Information subscales. Each subscale represents a mean of items and ranges from 1 to 6.
