Evidence Based Programs

A population approach to parenting support uses diverse delivery in person and online delivery contexts to provide parents with access to evidence-based programs. No single discipline, service sector, or mode of delivery should monopolize the provision of evidence-based parenting programs. Many different helping professionals come into contact with parents seeking support for parenting issues. It is particularly important that primary care settings are deployed as destigmatized socially normative points of contact for parents. Pediatricians, general practitioners, and community child health nurses are often approached for parenting advice. Similarly, the early childhood education and child care and school settings are also important contexts for the delivery of preventively focused parenting services and programs. In addition to considering how Triple P has been applied in these contexts, this section considers how evidence-based programs can be delivered in the context of the workplace, following natural disasters, through the media, and via the Internet.

Increasingly, parents are looking to the Internet for information and advice about parenting. This presents an opportunity to broaden the reach and availability of evidence-based parenting support in an extremely cost-effective manner if we can harness the power of the Internet to deliver engaging and effective interactive programs. Online platforms provide the potential to tailor content and feedback to the user and reduce barriers to participation through ease and immediacy of access, flexibility and self-paced delivery, and increased privacy. This chapter examines the role of technology-assisted delivery of parenting support and discusses challenges in providing evidence-based parenting programs online. Learnings from research into the Triple P Online family of web-based programs are shared, including implementation issues that influence program outcomes, such as program engagement, dosage, and provision of professional support.

Quality Evidence

An evidence-based intervention system must continuously evolve in response to evidence pertaining to its effectiveness. It also needs to adapt to the changing needs, interests, and preferences of parents. This chapter identifies important challenges for program developers, implementers, and evaluators to ensure parenting programs continue to remain relevant to people’s lives. Advances in understanding the nature and causes of individual differences in parental and children’s capacities for self-regulation remain an important issue for parenting practitioners to address. This work will need to include gaining a clearer understanding of nonresponders to parenting programs. As population-based approaches become more common, there is likely to be an increase in consumer demand for quality evidence-based programs and a call for better preservice training of professionals. The advantages and limitations of “branded” parenting programs are discussed. We envision a greater values orientation in programs and a focus on building the relational competencies of young people.

Vulnerable Families

Evidence-based parenting support programs have achieved a great deal, and strong policy support has developed in many jurisdictions. This support is based on outcome evidence and economic arguments relating to the costs of not intervening. At the same time, there is by no means universal support for the implementation of population-based parenting programs. Challenges remain to shift public opinions and perceptions about the importance of parenting programs and to counter myths and misinformation about how universal programs can be used. It is sometimes ignored that programs such as Triple P involve blending of universal and targeted programs that are highly cost-effective and successful in reaching and engaging vulnerable families. The research focus must turn to ensuring parenting programs that are effectively applied to promote child, family, and community well-being not just to avert clinical cases of problematic children and young people.

Parenting Support

Abstract Parent-child relationships influence learning throughout a child’s formal schooling and beyond. The quality of parenting children receive has a major influence on their learning and developmental capabilities. Parental influence is important in the early years of life and extends throughout a child’s schooling. Parenting has a pervasive influence on children’s language and communication, executive functions and self-regulation, social and peer relationships, academic attainment, general behaviour and enjoyment of school. Schools can further enhance educational outcomes for students by developing the resources and expertise needed to engage parents as partners in learning. This can be achieved by delivering and facilitating access to a comprehensive system of high-quality, culturally informed, evidence-based parenting support programs. In this article, recent developments in the Triple P system of parenting support are used to illustrate how schools can develop a low-cost, comprehensive, high-quality parenting support strategy that blends universal components with targeted components for more vulnerable children. We identify potential organisational and logistical barriers to implementing parenting support programs and ways to address these.

Barriers And Challenges

The adoption of a comprehensive population-based approach to parenting support means that effective parenting programs must truly be inclusive and relevant to all cultures. This chapter introduces a series of four chapters that explore how evidence-based parenting support can best respond to barriers and challenges and embrace cultural diversity in families everywhere. Themes emerging from this content include the importance of understanding and respecting parents’ beliefs and values, the flexible and responsive delivery of evidence-based parenting programs, and collaboratively working toward shared goals. Considerable conceptual and empirical work is being undertaken in the area of parenting support for families of diverse cultural backgrounds. This work provides optimism for the positive impact that evidence-based parenting programs will have in the coming years for children, families, and communities globally.

Evidence Based Programs

Protecting children is recognized as a public health priority and supporting parents through the implementation of evidence-based programs is a well-known strategy to achieve this. However, researchers highlight that these programs remain insufficiently implemented in real-world contexts. A knowledge gap exists between the intended implementation of evidence-based parenting programs and their actual implementation on real-world dynamics. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how evidence-based parenting programs have been implemented under real-world conditions by providing a map of available evidence and identifying knowledge gaps. The overall research question is: "How have evidence-based parenting programs been implemented under real-world conditions?". The proposed scoping review follows the framework originally described by Arksey and O’Malley, Levac and colleagues, and the Joanna Briggs Institute: (1) identifying the research questions; (2) identifying the relevant studies; (3) study selection; (4) charting the data; (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting the results; (6) consultation. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) will inform the search strategy. The results will be described in relation to the research questions and in the context of the purpose of the review. This scoping review will help to bridge the implementation gap between research evidence and its translation into practice.

The hallmark of evidence-based approaches to parenting support is the systematic, comprehensive, and continuing measurement of outcomes, over time, across individuals and groups. The chapter beings by describing the typical targets of parenting intervention (e.g., child behavior and adjustment; parenting behavior and self-efficacy) as well as less frequently assessed, more distal, intervention targets (e.g., parent adjustment, couple relationships). The common types of assessments and best practice approaches to assessment are described. In particular, approaches to measuring individual child, parenting, and family outcomes, as well as approaches to measuring population-level outcomes are detailed. Finally, commonly used approaches to assess the effects of Triple P are outlined.

Over Time

The parenting of children takes place in many different kinds of contexts. To avoid a “one-size-fits-all” approach, evidence-based parenting programs must adapt to and accommodate the diverse needs of families in a community. These needs can change over time in an individual family. This section of the book illustrates the flexibility and robustness of the Triple P system in addressing the needs of different types of families. Individual chapters discuss the application of Triple P to working parents, fathers, grandparents, parents with mental health problems, and parents who have been through separation or divorce. The success of these efforts is related to gaining a clear understanding of the context within which parenting tasks and responsibilities are undertaken.
