Filipino Family Health Initiative 1.0

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of an online parenting program on Filipino parents living in California. The main aims are to:

* Test the effectiveness of the online Incredible Years® model of parent training and its impact on primary outcomes.
* Determine the impact of intervention engagement (i.e., higher attendance) on parenting practices and child behavior outcomes.
* Describe Intervention delivery and its online implementation in real-world community settings.

The study involves two phases:

* Phase 1: Participants will receive the Online Incredible Years® School Age Basic \& Advanced Parent Training Program (intervention) and complete parent-reported and child-reported measures at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.
* Phase 2: Parenting Group Leaders will each participate in one semi-structured interview to inform the sustainability of the intervention in real world community settings. Researchers will compare 250 Filipino families, half of which will receive the intervention and the other half will receive the American Academy of Pediatrics' Bright Futures handouts (control) and be placed on a 3-month waitlist for the IY parenting program. Both groups will be followed for a minimum of 6 months with follow- up assessments that include parent-report and child report measures.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Incredible Years® School Age Basic Parent Training Program

The Incredible Years® School Age Basic Parent Training Program targets many of the proposed mechanisms and risk factors for internalizing distress in early childhood: harsh and unpredictable or critical parenting behaviors. Parents also learn cognitive strategies; such as self-praise, coping thoughts, how to challenge negative thoughts, and how to get support that they are encouraged to model for and teach their children. Finally, the participants learn how to be more positive and nurturing through academic, social and emotional coaching.

BEHAVIORAL

American Academy of Pediatrics, Bright Futures Handouts

Written materials that include age-group specific tips on how parents can support their child's development and social and academic success.
