Results Overview

Supportive Parenting scale includes 3 items (e.g,. "you praise your child if he/she behaves well") made on a 5-point scale (0 = never, 1 = almost never, 2 = sometime, 3 = often, 4 = always). Scale ranges from 0 to 12. Item responses are summed. Higher scores indicate a better outcome of more supportive parenting.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Post-test (6 weeks)

Population: Of the n = 16 dyads assigned to the Project Support condition, n = 11 dyads (caregivers and children) completed the post-test assessment 6 weeks later.

Supportive Parenting scale includes 3 items (e.g,. "you praise your child if he/she behaves well") made on a 5-point scale (0 = never, 1 = almost never, 2 = sometime, 3 = often, 4 = always). Scale ranges from 0 to 12. Item responses are summed. Higher scores indicate a better outcome of more supportive parenting.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Post-test (6 weeks)

Population: Of the n = 16 caregivers assigned to the Project Support condition, n = 11 completed the post-test assessment 6 weeks later. Only caregivers completed the measure of parenting self-efficacy.

Parenting self-efficacy subscale includes 8 items (e.g., "If anyone can find the answer to what is troubling my child, I am the one") made on a 6-point scale (1 = strongly disagree to 6 = strongly agree). Scale ranges from 8 to 48. Item responses are summed. Higher scores indicate better outcome of greater parenting self-efficacy.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Post-test (6 weeks)

Population: Of the n = 16 caregivers assigned to the Project Support condition, n = 11 completed the post-test assessment 6 weeks later. Only caregivers completed this outcome measure of hopelessness.

The Beck Hopelessness Scale-4 includes 4 items measuring hopelessness (e.g., "I feel the future is hopeless and that things cannot improve") made on a 4-point scale (0 = not typical, 1 = rarely typical, 2 = typical, 3 = very typical). Scale ranges from 0 to 12. Item responses are summed. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes in that they represent a higher degree of hopelessness.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Post-test (6 weeks)

Population: Of the n = 16 dyads assigned to the Project Support condition, n = 11 dyads (caregivers and children) completed the post-test assessment 6 weeks later.

The total problems scale on the Pediatric Symptom Checklist includes 17 items measuring child psychological distress (e.g., "Feels sad, unhappy") made on a 3-point scale (0 = never, 1 = sometimes, 2 = often). Scale ranges from 0 to 34. Item responses are summed. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes in that they represent higher psychological distress.
