DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Though quality parenting is widely recognized as key to children's healthy development, no observational assessment instrument has gained wide acceptance by family service providers. In fact many family service programs have long sought a practical & clinically relevant tool. This project aims to field test the Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale (KIPS), a newly developed practical parent-child interaction assessment tool specifically designed for use by providers who serve families with young children. KIPS adapts some items from a proven parent-child interaction research scale, and the development of additional items was guided by current research review and provider input. Preliminary studies suggest that KIPS offers a reliable, valid, and clinically relevant assessment of caregiver behavior. With a practical tool to assess parent-child interaction, providers can identify parenting strengths and needs, make informed interventions, monitor family progress and evaluate program outcomes. The Specific Aims of this project are to: 1) Train family service providers to administer KIPS reliably; 2) Field test the newly developed KIPS with providers in family service settings; 3) Assess utility and practicality of KIPS; 4) Assess reliability of KIPS administered in field, and 5) Refine the KIPS training process. Twenty family service providers and 100 families will be recruited to assess the utility and practicality of the KIPS prototype through provider surveys and focus groups. To assess field reliability, we will compare the scoring between providers and experts. In Phase II, we aim to develop an online training system. The combination of a practical and clinically useful instrument coupled with an online training can promote wide dissemination of KIPS at an acceptable cost. With a practical parent-child assessment tool, providers can build responsive parenting behaviors, prevent negative downward spirals, and promote perpetuating cycles of healthy parent-child interaction.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然高质量的养育被广泛认为是儿童健康发展的关键，但没有一种观察性评估工具被家庭服务提供者广泛接受。事实上，许多家庭服务项目长期以来一直在寻求一种实用和临床相关的工具。该项目旨在实地测试互动育儿关键量表（KIPS），这是一种新开发的实用亲子互动评估工具，专为有幼儿的家庭提供服务的提供者使用。KIPS采用了一个成熟的亲子互动研究量表中的一些项目，而其他项目的开发则是在当前研究综述和提供者输入的指导下进行的。初步研究表明，KIPS提供了一种可靠、有效和临床相关的护理者行为评估。有了一个评估亲子互动的实用工具，提供者就可以确定育儿的优势和需求，做出明智的干预，监测家庭进展，评估项目结果。该项目的具体目标是：1)培训家庭服务提供者可靠地管理KIPS；2)在家庭服务环境中对新开发的KIPS进行现场测试；3)评估KIPS的效用和实用性；4)评估现场KIPS管理的可靠性；5)完善KIPS培训流程。将招募20个家庭服务提供者和100个家庭，通过提供者调查和焦点小组来评估KIPS原型的效用和实用性。为了评估现场可靠性，我们将比较供应商和专家之间的评分。在第二阶段，我们的目标是开发一个在线培训系统。将实用和临床有用的仪器与在线培训相结合，可以以可接受的成本促进KIPS的广泛传播。有了实用的亲子评估工具，提供者可以建立响应性的育儿行为，防止负面的恶性循环，促进健康的亲子互动的持久循环。
