DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): An alarming number of child victims of parental substance abuse are being placed in foster and adoptive care. This includes children who have been prenatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs as well as children of parents who use, sell, and/or manufacture illicit drugs. Substance-exposed infants and drug-endangered young children often have unique physical, neurological, and/or psychological problems that can manifest in a variety of behaviors that can frustrate and sometimes even alienate resource parents who are not adequately prepared to understand and nurture them. Few programs offer the comprehensive training that these parents require and there is precious little time or opportunity for parents to obtain this training with current policies to expedite permanency planning. We propose developing an online interactive multimedia training series based on the TIES for Adoption program, a leading intervention program developed at UCLA that specializes in preparing and supporting foster and adoptive families with drug-endangered children. The training will be offered as stand-alone online or DVD courses on fosterParentCollege.com, a specialized parent training venue developed by Northwest Media, as well as in direct conjunction with TIES services. The series will consist of seven courses, including: parenting strategies for drug-endangered infants; for toddlers; for preschoolers; how to talk about drug-endangered children and with whom; working with social workers and other professionals; birth parents and visitations; taking care of yourself and your family. In Phase I we will develop and evaluate the course on parenting strategies for substance-exposed infants. The feasibility study will test the effectiveness of the program on increasing parents' knowledge and improving attitudes compared with a text-only online version of the program and a no-treatment control group. Public Health Relevance: Subjects participating in this project will gain important information about parenting foster and adopted children exposed to drugs, in utero, postnatally, or in early childhood, that may help them to better understand and manage disturbed behaviors that are unique to these children. 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）：父母滥用药物的儿童受害者人数惊人，他们被安置在寄养和收养家庭。这包括出生前接触酒精和其他药物的儿童，以及父母使用，销售和/或制造非法药物的儿童。物质暴露的婴儿和有药物危险的幼儿通常有独特的身体，神经和/或心理问题，这些问题可以表现在各种行为上，这些行为可能会使没有充分准备好理解和养育他们的父母感到沮丧，有时甚至疏远他们。很少有计划提供这些父母所需的全面培训，并且在目前的政策下，父母几乎没有时间或机会获得这种培训，以加快永久计划。我们建议开发一个在线互动多媒体培训系列的基础上的TIES收养计划，在加州大学洛杉矶分校，专门准备和支持毒品濒危儿童的寄养和收养家庭开发的领先的干预计划。培训将作为独立的在线课程或DVD课程在fosterParentCollege.com上提供，这是西北媒体开发的一个专门的家长培训场所，并直接与TIES服务合作。该系列将包括七门课程，包括：受毒品危害的婴儿的养育策略;幼儿;学龄前儿童;如何谈论受毒品危害的儿童以及与谁谈论;与社会工作者和其他专业人员合作;亲生父母和探视;照顾自己和家人。在第一阶段，我们将制定和评估关于接触物质的婴儿的养育策略的课程。可行性研究将测试该计划与纯文本在线版本的计划和无治疗对照组相比在增加父母知识和改善态度方面的有效性。公共卫生相关性：参与该项目的受试者将获得有关养育寄养和收养的儿童在子宫内，出生后或幼儿期暴露于药物的重要信息，这可能有助于他们更好地理解和管理这些儿童特有的不安行为。因此，寄养、收养和亲属家庭中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。
