Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of an online parenting program on Filipino parents living in California. The main aims are to:
- Test the effectiveness of the online Incredible Years® model of parent training and its impact on primary outcomes.
- Determine the impact of intervention engagement (i.e., higher attendance) on parenting practices and child behavior outcomes.
- Describe Intervention delivery and its online implementation in real-world community settings. The study involves two phases:
- Phase 1: Participants will receive the Online Incredible Years® School Age Basic \& Advanced Parent Training Program (intervention) and complete parent-reported and child-reported measures at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.
- Phase 2: Parenting Group Leaders will each participate in one semi-structured interview to inform the sustainability of the intervention in real world community settings. Researchers will compare 250 Filipino families, half of which will receive the intervention and the other half will receive the American Academy of Pediatrics' Bright Futures handouts (control) and be placed on a 3-month waitlist for the IY parenting program. Both groups will be followed for a minimum of 6 months with follow- up assessments that include parent-report and child report measures.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)

Parenting practices will be assessed using scores from the Parent Practices Interview (PPI). The PPI asks questions regarding parenting styles and behavior management techniques. Questions are rated on a scale ranging from never to always
Baseline, 3 months, 6 months
Child Reported Depression Symptoms
Child depression will be measured using the Child Depression Inventory (CDI). Each item in this self-report instrument includes a list of sentences that describe how children typically feel. Children are asked to pick out the sentence that best describes how they feel over the past 2 weeks.
Baseline, 3 months, 6 months
Child Reported Anxiety Symptoms
Child anxiety will be measured using the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Screen includes a list of sentences that describe how people feel over the last 3 months. Answers are rated on a scale from 0 (not true) to 2 (very true or often true).
Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Study Arms (2)
Intervention
EXPERIMENTALParents assigned to the intervention arm will receive the Incredible Years® School Age Basic \& Advanced Parent Training Program. It consists of twelve (12) 2-hour online workshops led by a certified peer coach in the Incredible Years Parent Training Series.
Control
OTHERParents assigned to the control arm will be emailed and mailed written parent education materials from the American Academy of Pediatrics called the Bright Futures handouts. The control group is offered the Incredible Years® School Age Basic \& Advanced Parent Training Program after a 3-month wait list period.
Interventions
Written materials that include age-group specific tips on how parents can support their child's development and social and academic success.
The Incredible Years® School Age Basic Parent Training Program targets many of the proposed mechanisms and risk factors for internalizing distress in early childhood: harsh and unpredictable or critical parenting behaviors. Parents also learn cognitive strategies; such as self-praise, coping thoughts, how to challenge negative thoughts, and how to get support that they are encouraged to model for and teach their children. Finally, the participants learn how to be more positive and nurturing through academic, social and emotional coaching.
