DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Considerable research points to the relatively high prevalence of young children's oppositional, defiant, and disruptive behaviors and their importance in establishing long-term problematic trajectories for later socioemotional, conduct, and academic problems (Campbell, 1995), such as substance use, delinquency, and school failure. The skill with which parents are able to handle these challenging behaviors will influence the long-term developmental trajectories of their children. Parent training programs have shown much value in reducing behavior problems for children of a broad range of ages, thereby reducing their risk for subsequent substance use and other problems of adolescence. The reach of these parenting pro- grams are limited, however, by substantial challenges in recruiting and retaining parents, such that most parents who could benefit from parenting assistance never receive it. Reducing the prevalence of disruptive behavior problems will require public health approaches for improving parenting practices that make evidence-based parenting interventions widely available and accessible in a range of formats. The mass media, and television in particular, hold significant potential as part of a population-wide strategy for bringing evidence-based parenting practices to a broad range of parents experiencing challenges raising their children. The potential of television for affecting parenting has received very little research attention, however; thus, little is known about how media messages to affect parenting practices might be optimally designed. This study will develop and experimentally evaluate two variants of a 10-episode, brief (7 minutes per episode), video-based, infotainment-style broadcast-quality media series targeted at parenting practices, derived from the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program (Sanders, 1999). A sample of 300 families of children ages 3-6 years with somewhat elevated disruptive behavior problems will be randomized to (a) receive an Information-Only version of the series that includes only modeling and demonstration of target parenting skills, (b) receive an Enhanced Behavior Activation version of the series designed to actively pro- mote parental behavior change, through elements addressing attributions, self-efficacy and expectancies, social support, and emotional reactivity, or (c) Waitlist Control. Measures of parents' parenting practices, cognitions, affect, and social support, and children's disruptive behavior problems, will be obtained at base- line, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up. The relative efficacy of the Standard and Enhanced versions of the Triple P Media Series in improving these outcomes will be examined, as well as moderators of these effects, such as baseline level of behavior problems and parental stress. This study will further our under- standing of the potential value of television programming for improving parenting practices. Bringing effective parenting programs to large numbers of parents through television has the potential to reduce the prevalence of children's behavior problems, and to reduce risks for later problems such as substance use.

描述（由申请人提供）：大量研究表明，幼儿的对抗、挑衅和破坏性行为相对较高，而且这些行为对于为日后的社会情感、行为和学业问题（例如药物滥用、犯罪和学业失败）建立长期问题轨迹具有重要意义（Campbell，1995）。父母处理这些具有挑战性的行为的技巧将影响孩子的长期发展轨迹。家长培训计划在减少各年龄段儿童的行为问题方面显示出很大的价值，从而降低他们随后出现药物滥用和其他青春期问题的风险。然而，由于招募和留住家长方面存在巨大挑战，这些育儿计划的范围受到限制，因此大多数可以从育儿援助中受益的父母从未获得过援助。减少破坏性行为问题的发生率需要采取公共卫生措施来改善育儿实践，从而以各种形式广泛提供和获得基于证据的育儿干预措施。大众媒体，尤其是电视，作为全民战略的一部分，具有巨大的潜力，可以将基于证据的育儿实践带给广大面临抚养孩子挑战的父母。然而，电视对养育子女的潜在影响却很少受到研究关注。因此，人们对如何优化设计影响育儿实践的媒体信息知之甚少。本研究将开发并实验性评估 10 集、简短（每集 7 分钟）、基于视频、信息娱乐风格的广播质量媒体系列的两个变体，该系列针对育儿实践，源自 Triple P-Positive Parenting Program（Sanders，1999）。 300 个 3-6 岁儿童家庭中存在一定程度的破坏性行为问题的样本将被随机分组​​：(a) 接收该系列的纯信息版本，其中仅包括目标育儿技能的建模和演示，(b) 接收该系列的增强行为激活版本，旨在通过解决归因、自我效能和期望、社会支持和情绪反应等元素，积极促进父母行为改变，或 (c) 候补名单 控制。父母的养育方式、认知、情感和社会支持以及儿童的破坏性行为问题的测量将在基线、干预后和 6 个月的随访中获得。将检查 Triple P 媒体系列的标准版和增强版在改善这些结果方面的相对功效，以及这些影响的调节因素，例如行为问题和父母压力的基线水平。这项研究将进一步加深我们对电视节目对于改善育儿实践的潜在价值的理解。通过电视向大量家长提供有效的育儿计划有可能减少儿童行为问题的发生率，并降低以后出现药物滥用等问题的风险。
