What is the purpose of this trial?

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.

Findings from Research

The Incredible Years interventions, which included both classroom and parent training, led to significant improvements in children's emotional regulation and reduced externalizing problems, particularly in the group receiving both interventions (PT + CR).
Mothers in the PT + CR group demonstrated stronger bonding with their children and were more supportive and involved in school activities compared to mothers in the control group, highlighting the positive impact of parent training on family dynamics and child behavior.
Enhancing a classroom social competence and problem-solving curriculum by offering parent training to families of moderate- to high-risk elementary school children.Reid, MJ., Webster-Stratton, C., Hammond, M.[2007]
The Incredible Years® (IY) Parenting Program showed short-term effectiveness in reducing child conduct problems among families in Child Protection Services, with 102 children participating in the study.
However, the positive effects of the program were not sustained at the one-year follow-up, and there were no significant improvements reported in daycare/school settings, indicating challenges in maintaining and generalizing the benefits of the intervention.

The Incredible Years® Toddler Parenting Programme showed significant improvements in parental mental well-being and observed praise after 6 months, indicating its effectiveness in enhancing parenting skills.
