Multimedia Divorce Education

这项申请建议为共同父母开发儿童护理，这是一个互动的、基于多媒体的预防方案，旨在帮助父母促进子女适应父母离婚或分居。 近年来，法院授权的育儿教育计划越来越普遍。虽然这些方案得到了全国的广泛支持，但也发现了一些问题，包括缺乏针对性、后续行动不足、可获得性有限、提供不一致、对家庭暴力不敏感以及试验性评价很少。作为一个更大的NIDA资助的一套育儿教育计划的一部分，目前正在开发的Inflexxion，儿童护理共同父母的目的是解决这些已知的限制。 该计划将包括一个互动的，基于多媒体的育儿教育课程， 一个网站，一个家庭手册。第一阶段涉及概念验证研究， 证明产品的可行性。第二阶段将涉及一个功能齐全的共同父母的KidCare的生产和可用性测试，以及现场测试和验收研究，以比较相对于目前规定的育儿教育选项的计划的有效性和满意度。 如果证明有效，法院系统和父母都可能认为共同父母的儿童护理是一种可取的和具有成本效益的手段，可以减少与离婚和其他形式的父母分居有关的众所周知的风险。

This application proposes development of KidCare for Co-Parents, an interactive, multimedia based prevention program designed to help parents facilitate their children's adjustment to parental divorce or separation. Court mandated parenting education programs have become increasingly commonplace in recent years. Although these programs are enjoying widespread national support, a number of problems with them nave been identified, including lack of tailoring, inadequate follow-up, limited accessibility, inconsistent delivery, insensitivity to domestic violence, and minimal experimental evaluation. As part of a larger NIDA-funded suite of parenting education programs currently under development at Inflexxion, KidCare for Co-Parents is designed to address these known limitations. The program will consist of an interactive, multimedia-based parenting education curriculum, a companion Website, and a take-home handbook. Phase I involved proof of concept research to demonstrate product feasibility. Phase II will involve production and usability testing of a fully functional KidCare for Co-Parents, as well as a field test and acceptance study to compare program efficacy and satisfaction levels relative to currently mandated parenting education options. If proven effective, court-systems and parents alike would likely view KidCare for Co-Parents as a desirable and cost-effective means of reducing the well-known risks associated with divorce and other forms of parental separation.
