Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory at Baseline and 3-Month Follow-Up
Time Frame: baseline to 3-month follow-up
|
The Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory measures the intensity of child behavior problems.
Scores are presented as T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10.
A T-score of 60 or higher is considered clinically significant.
Higher scores indicate more intense behavior problems.
An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium and 0.8 is large.

baseline to 3-month follow-up
|
Parenting Sense of Competence - Satisfaction Sub-scale at Baseline and 3-Month Follow-up
Time Frame: baseline to 3-month follow-up
|
The Parenting sense of competence scale includes two sub-scales: 1) satisfaction and 2) efficacy.
The satisfaction sub-scale reported here includes 9 items, rated on a scale from 1 ("strongly agree") to 6 ("strongly disagree").
Responses are summed, with possible sub-scale score range from 9 to 54 with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction in the parenting role.
An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium and 0.8 is large.

Parenting Sense of Competence - Efficacy Sub-scale Baseline to 3-Month Follow-up
Time Frame: baseline to 3-month follow-up
|
The Parenting sense of competence scale includes two sub-scales: 1) satisfaction and 2) efficacy.
The efficacy sub-scale reported here measures how effective parents feel they are and includes 7 items, rated on a scale from 1 ("strongly agree") to 6 ("strongly disagree").
Responses are summed, with possible sub-scale score range from 7 to 42 with higher scores indicating lower feelings of efficacy.
An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium and 0.8 is large.

baseline to 3-month follow-up
|
Family Needs Questionnaire Baseline to 3-Month Follow-up
Time Frame: baseline to 3-month follow-up
|
The family needs questionnaire measures the degree to which family needs are met.
The scale includes 20 items reflecting family needs that are rated on a scale from 0 to 4, with 0 being not applicable to 4 being met a great deal.
The total score on this measure is created by averaging across all items.
Total score ranges from 0-4.
Higher scores reflect more needs being met.
An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium and 0.8 is large.

Participant Perception of Self-care Change Over Intervention Period Reported at 3-month Follow-up
Time Frame: 3-month follow-up
|
Participants are asked at follow-up to rate how much their self-care practices have changed over the last 3 months on a 5-point scale ranging from "A lot less self-care (1)" to "A lot more self-care (5)."
A score of 3 equates to no change.

Mean App Quality Score on Mobile App Rating Scale: User Version
Time Frame: 3-month follow-up
|
The mobile app rating scale includes a measure of users perception of app quality.
There are 16 items contributing to this score, each rated on a scale from 1 to 5. Total app quality score is presented as a mean with range of 1 to 5, with higher scores reflecting greater perceived quality of the app. .
