Summary

This project will develop and evaluate the feasibility of an integrated smart speaker and mobile/web-based application, "FamilyNet" (FN) to assist parents in implementing empirically supported behavioral parenting strategies to promote positive behavior change in their children. The FamilyNet system will help parents to create a positively framed, individualized behavioral plan for their child(ren), and then provide prompts, reminders, and tracking tools to help them effectively implement that plan. Once developed, FamilyNet will be field tested for usability and usefulness with a group of parents who have children ages 10-17 years exhibiting challenging behaviors. Establishing feasibility of this innovative parenting tool will have important implications for harnessing smart speaker and mobile/web technologies to provide parents in-situ support with parenting challenges; parents' effective implementation of empirically supported parenting strategies is likely to increase children's prosocial behaviors and reduce problematic behaviors, thus reducing their risk for long-term behavioral problems.

Conditions

  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder
  • Conduct Disorder

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

FamilyNet smart speaker/mobile application

In a 4-week period, families will use a prototype of the FamilyNet integrated and coordinated smart speaker/mobile application designed to provide families with in-situ experiential support for building positive behavior plans. The prototype FamilyNet program will guide families in creating and implementing positive behavior plans to foster positive child behavior, consistent parenting, and promote a positive parent-child relationship.
