Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In child welfare services, structured behavioral parenting programs have been documented to reduce important child-welfare outcomes, including child maltreatment recidivism.1-3 In this study, we attempt to learn which factors impacted implementation of an evidence-based practice (EBP) in a diversity of child-welfare serving sites and systems. The primary aim of this study was to identify and assess barriers and facilitators of implementation of a structured behavioral parenting program (SC). We utilized a qualitative research strategy that included semi-structured interviews and focus groups with several levels of staff responsible for implementing the model: program administrators, supervisors, and frontline staff (providers). Our second aim was to understand parent and provider reactions to SafeCare (SC) services and Supportive Case Management (SCM), especially parents' perceptions related to trajectory of burden, engagement, satisfaction, and perceived impact across intervention receipt. We employed mixed methods (both quantitative and qualitative data collection) to inform this question. Specifically, we (1) conducted qualitative interviews with families at two time points during the course of service, (2) collected session-by-session ratings from families on service reaction (perceived burden satisfaction, perceived effectiveness) and providers on family engagement, and (3) collected organizational environment surveys from providers at two time points. The final aim of this study wass to examine the short-term impact of SC versus SCM on client-centered outcomes. Quantitative surveys collected in the family's home at the beginning and end of services measured parenting variables, parent mental health and well-being, and child behavioral, social, and emotional well-being.
