DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Foster, kinship, and adoptive parents have to successfully complete training and screening prior to becoming licensed caregivers. The Institute for Human Services (IHS) has created one of the few standardized pre-service programs in current use nationally. Face-to-face contact between prospective caregiver parents and staff is crucial during this part of their training for the purposes of screening, building support, and handling sensitive topics. Recently, however, IHS and others have become increasingly interested in enhancing their pre-service program by adding online training activities that focus more on conveying information about the child welfare system, and about the complex circumstances, issues, and attitudes these parents will have to face. Using the Web for these activities will not only allow parents to regulate and more fully process this part of the training in the convenience of their homes, but may actually increase the quality of time they spend in class by reserving that time for activities that are social, interactive, or sensitive in nature, rather than individualized. We propose developing a version of the IHS pre-service training program enhanced by interactive multimedia (IMM) that alternates and integrates online instruction with class instruction. In Phase I we will develop the first of 12 units, on Child Abuse and Neglect. The completed unit will be evaluated with a sample of 80 incoming foster parents affiliated with a social service provider and affiliate of IHS in Milwaukee. The study will compare the IMM-enhanced approach with the traditional class approach on measures of parent knowledge, empathy, usability, and satisfaction. Subjects participating in this project will gain important information about parenting children of abuse and neglect that may help them to better understand and manage these children's disturbed behaviors. As a result, the quality of parent-child relationships in foster, adoptive, and kinship families could improve, which could help stabilize family placements and improve children's short- and long-term mental health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：寄养父母、亲属父母和养父母在成为有执照的看护人之前必须成功完成培训和筛选。人类服务研究所（IHS）创建了目前全国使用的少数标准化的职前培训项目之一。在这部分培训中，为了筛选、建立支持和处理敏感话题，潜在照顾者父母和工作人员之间的面对面接触至关重要。然而，最近，IHS和其他机构越来越有兴趣通过增加在线培训活动来加强他们的职前计划，这些活动更多地侧重于传达有关儿童福利系统的信息，以及这些父母将不得不面对的复杂情况、问题和态度。使用网络进行这些活动不仅可以让父母在家里方便地管理和更全面地处理这部分培训，而且可以通过为社交、互动或敏感性质的活动保留时间而不是个性化的活动，实际上可以提高他们在课堂上的时间质量。我们建议开发一种通过交互式多媒体（IMM）增强的IHS职前培训计划，将在线教学与课堂教学相结合。在第一阶段，我们将开发12个单元中的第一个，关于虐待和忽视儿童。完成后的单元将与80名即将到来的养父母样本一起进行评估，这些养父母隶属于密尔沃基的一家社会服务提供商和IHS附属机构。本研究将比较imm强化方法与传统课堂方法在家长知识、同理心、可用性和满意度方面的测量结果。参与该项目的受试者将获得关于如何养育受虐待和忽视的儿童的重要信息，这可能有助于他们更好地理解和管理这些儿童的不安行为。因此，寄养、收养和亲属家庭的亲子关系质量可以得到改善，这有助于稳定家庭安置，改善儿童的短期和长期心理健康结果。
