About this trial
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of the hybrid ezParent program (e.g., web-based training program plus synchronous group sessions) on parent and child outcomes in a community setting serving parents of children 2-5 years old. Parent participants will complete surveys at baseline, and 10 and 24-weeks post baseline.

ezParent
BehavioralHybrid ezParent includes the web-based ezParent program and 4 synchronous group sessions. ezParent is a 6-module digital delivery of the group-based Chicago Parent Program (CPP). The purpose of the program is to strengthen parenting, decrease child behavior problems, and increase child prosocial behavior. Each module includes: a video narrator describing parenting strategies; video vignettes of parents and children as examples of how parenting strategies work; questions following each vignette for parents to reflect upon; interactive activities for parents to complete; knowledge questions to assess parent understanding of the strategies; and practice assignments. Parents are instructed to complete modules independently between synchronous group sessions. Group sessions are 1-1.5 hours and follow a discussion guide to reinforce key content, build community, and support parents in using ezParent. Trained facilitators lead groups of about 10 parents either in-person or virtual.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Multidimensional Assessment of Parenting Scale (MAPS) Parent-form - Version 2.0
A 35-item scale measures parenting practices constituting both positive and negative dimensions of warmth/hostility and behavioral control appropriate for parents of children across the developmental span from young childhood through adolescence. Parents respond to each item on a 5-point scale from "Never" to "Always". Possible range= 0-175
Time frame
Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline2
Child-Parent Relationship Scale-Short Form (CPRS-SF)
The CPRS-SF has 15 items that parents rate their perception of their relationship with their child. The measure taps into positive and negative aspects of parent-child relationships. The CPRS-SF is rated on a 5-point scale with two subscales of closeness and conflict. Possible range= 0-35
Time frame
Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline3
Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC)
The Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC) has 17 items, with 2 subscales: satisfaction (person's liking of the parenting role) and efficacy (person's perceived competence in the parenting role). Scale: 6-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 6 = strongly agree) Minimum item score = 1 Maximum item score = 6 Subscale scoring (satisfaction and efficacy): Higher scores means a better outcome
Time frame
Baseline, 10- and 24-weeks post-baseline4
Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is 25-items with five subscales: emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity-inattention, peer problems, and prosocial behavior. A total difficulties score (TDS) is generated from the emotional, conduct, hyperactivity- inattention, and peer problems scales. Scale: 3-point scale (not true, somewhat true, and certainly true). Minimum item score = 0 Maximum item score = 2 Minimum subscale score = 0 Maximum subscale score = 10 Subscale scoring - Prosocial subscale: Higher score means a better outcome All other subscales (emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer): Higher scores means a worse outcome
