Sponsor's own description
High quality and effective parenting in the preschool years is connected with long term positive child behavior and mental health outcomes. The purpose of the study, "Parent Training in Pediatric Primary Care: A Self-directed Tablet-based Approach," is to test the outcomes and implementation of a tablet-based parent training program in Pediatric Primary Care. Testing and evaluating the implementation of digitally delivered programs is important to increase the ease, reach, sustainability, and integration of mental health prevention into primary care settings.
