Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Program participation

  Number of Chicago Parent Program group sessions attended (range from 0-12 sessions)

  immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months

• Parent-reported child behavior frequency using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory

  Parent-reported child behavior problems measured using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory. We will measure behavior problem frequency (scores range from 36-252). Higher scores indicate higher frequency.

  change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months

• Parent-reported child behavior problems using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory

  Parent-reported child behavior problems measured using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory. We will measure whether the parent believes the behavior is a problem (scores range from 0-36). Higher scores indicate more child behavior problems.

  change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months

• Parent - Adverse childhood experiences

  number of adverse childhood experiences during parent's first 18 years of life assessed by parent report using the Philadelphia ACEs measure. Number of adverse childhood experiences assessed at baseline only. Includes two sub scales: the Conventional ACE sub scale (15 items measuring adversities in one's home) and the Expanded ACE sub scale (6 items measuring adversities in one's community). Scores can range from 0-21. Higher scores indicate more exposures to childhood adversity

  baseline

• Parent - Positive childhood experiences

  number of positive childhood experiences during parent's first 18 years of life assessed by parent-report at baseline using the Positive Childhood Experiences scale. Scores can range from 0-7 with higher scores indicating more exposures to positive childhood experiences.

  baseline

• Parent Satisfaction

  Parent's satisfaction with the Chicago Parent Program intervention as assessed at post-intervention only and measured using the Chicago Parent Program Parent Satisfaction Form. Measure includes 19 items assessing the extent to which they and their child benefitted from the program (scored on a Likert-type scale), aspects of the program that were most and least beneficial, and the extent to which they would recommend the program to other parents. Each item is scored and interpreted separately.

  immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months

• Parent engagement in early learning-Teacher Report

  change from baseline to immediately after the intervention, approximately 4 months

• Parent engagement in early learning-Parent Report
