Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• TOPSE: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months on the Tool of Parenting Self-Efficacy

  The Tool to Measure Parenting Self-Efficacy (TOPSE) consists of 48 self-efficacy statements. There are six self-efficacy statements for each domain and parents indicate how much they agree with each statement by responding to a Likert scale from 0-10 where 0 equates to completely disagree and 10 equates to completely agree. We administered the play, acceptance, and control domains. The overall score (0-10) was computed as the mean of these three sub-scale means. A higher overall score indicates greater self-efficacy.

• PPI Harsh: Group Mean Change at 6 Weeks and 4 Months the Parenting Practices Interview Harsh Parenting Subscale

  The Parenting Practices Interview is a standardized instrument to measure parenting skills. The harsh parenting sub-scale is computed as the average (1-7) of 6 items. Lower scores are more desirable.
