Optimizing an Evidence-Based, Disseminable, Free Internet-Based Parenting Program

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parenting Practices

In brief

The CDC's Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers program (EFP) is a free Internet resource with the potential to break down barriers to population-wide access to scientifically-based parenting interventions. EFP has considerable promise, but parental engagement, a major issue in the success of universal parenting interventions, remains a challenge. The objective of the proposed research is to optimize EFP by identifying engagement-focused intervention elements to add to EFP that enhance its effects on parenting skills.
