Full textAbstract:
Evidence-based parenting programmes are beneficial for children’s behavioural and emotional problems as well as parenting practices. Along with effectiveness, attendance affects the programme outcome and identification of risks associated with dropout may aid in development of special policy to increase engagement. In this study, we aimed to compare sociodemographics, parental attitudes, child behavioural and emotional problems of programme-completing and dropout parents from Level-4 Triple-P parenting programme applied at Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). We also aimed to determine the attrition rate. In addition, we inquired whether there was a change in parenting styles and child behaviour and emotional problems before and after Level-4 Triple-P for the programme-completing parents at CAMHS. Results displayed that 52% ( n = 58) of the parents who were significantly less educated, used hostile rejecting attitudes, and reported more hyperactive/inattentive behaviour in their children compared to the parents who competed the programme ( p = 0.022, p = 0.016, p = 0.027, respectively) discontinued the programme. Parents who were able to complete the programme ( n = 54) reported a reduction in over-parenting and improvements in children’s conduct problems along with overall stress levels before and after Triple-P ( p = 0.009, p = 0.040, p = 0.023). Parents at risk of discontinuing parenting programmes may require special policy to be engaged since these programmes may offer significant benefits for parenting practices and, in turn, children’s well-being.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of directive programmes led by professionals where parents were taught specific parenting knowledge and strategies (Triple P – Positive Parenting Program) and non-directive parenting programmes in the form of mutual-aid support group as a universal prevention programme. Design/methodology/approach – This study employed a randomised controlled trial design. Participants included 92 Hong Kong Chinese parents with preschool children recruited from eight kindergartens and a local church. They were randomised into Group Triple P, non-directive group and control group. They completed measures on their perception of child behaviour problems and their parental stress before and after intervention. Findings – At post-intervention, results indicated significantly greater decrease in child disruptive behaviours among participants in the Triple P group than those in the non-directive group and control group while no significant group difference was found between the latter two groups. No significant difference was found in post-intervention parental stress level among the three groups. Originality/value – This study provides empirical evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of a directive parenting programme vs a non-directive one.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the implementation and adaptation of group Triple P, an evidence-based parenting intervention developed in Australia, for a Latina population living in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – Mothers with pre-school age children participated in the programme, which was offered by a community mental health agency. The final study sample consisted of 174 Latina mothers. Findings – Participation in group Triple P was associated with clinically significant improvements in maternal mental health, parenting styles, and child behaviour problems. Additionally, mothers reported high levels of satisfaction with the programme. Practical implications – Triple P is a promising intervention for Latina caregivers who are concerned about the behaviour of their young children. It can be implemented successfully into community-based mental health care systems. Originality/value – This is the first study to examine the applicability of Triple P to Latina caregivers.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two intervention formats of the Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P) – Level 4 Group Triple P (TP) and brief parent discussion group (DI) with the waitlist control group (WL). Design/methodology/approach – Participants included 91 Chinese parents with preschool children in Hong Kong from eight preschools, who were randomised into the two intervention conditions (TP and DI) and a waitlist control group (WL). Parent participants completed measures on child behaviours and parenting stress before and after intervention. Findings – Results indicated that there was a significant decrease in post-intervention child behavioural problems in the TP group, with a medium effect size when compared to the WL group. There was a decrease in post-intervention child behaviour problems in the DI group, compared with the WL group. No significant difference was found in post-intervention child behaviour problems between the TP group and the DI group. Practical implications – The positive results in the present study support the extension of the implementation of Triple P interventions to the preschool setting in Hong Kong. The effectiveness of the brief parent discussion group in reducing parental report of child behaviour problems provides preliminary support for its potential as a universal preventive parenting intervention in the local context. Originality/value – The study was the first evaluation of the Level-4 Triple P programme in a local school context as well as the first evaluation of effectiveness of the brief parent discussion group in the local context at the time of the study.

Les programmes de soutien à la parentalité sont un moyen efficace pour prévenir la maltraitance envers les enfants, mais il peut être difficile d’amener les parents plus vulnérables à s’y engager. La présente étude vise à vérifier jusqu’à quel point le profil de mères québécoises entrant dans le programme Triple P – Positive Parenting Program correspond à un profil de risque de maltraitance. À cette fin, 240 mères d’enfants âgés de 6 mois à 8 ans entrant dans le programme sont comparées à 834 mères sélectionnées aléatoirement dans la population générale. Les résultats indiquent que les mères ayant participé au programme présentent davantage un profil de risque, particulièrement quant à la perception des problèmes de comportement de leur enfant et à leur sentiment de compétence parentale. Ces mères utilisent moins de pratiques parentales positives, ont un revenu et un niveau d’éducation plus faibles et ont plus de risque d’être monoparentales ou en recomposition et sans emploi. Il existe peu de différences sociodémographiques entre les deux groupes. Ces résultats suggèrent que Triple P a été implanté de manière à rejoindre des familles affichant divers facteurs de risque, ce qui est encourageant et prometteur dans un contexte de prévention de la maltraitance.

AbstractTriple P is a parenting programme used in the youth healthcare practice of many Dutch municipalities to support parents in raising their children. According to international research, this Australian intervention is effective for parents with children up to the age of 12. It shows positive effects on parenting skills and on the reduction of both parents' child-rearing stress and their children's behavioural and emotional problems. Our study examined the effectiveness of Teen Triple P level 4: a training programme for parents of teenagers aged 10–16. The programme included five group sessions of 1.5–2 h each, as well as three individual (phone) consultations. Through a matching procedure, 103 parents who participated in Teen Triple P were compared in a quasi-experimental study with 397 parents in a control group. Compared with the control group, parents who received the Teen Triple P training reported a significant improvement in their parental practice. Now, they are more involved with their child, more responsive to the needs of the children, and they report fewer parent–child conflicts. Some positive differences in behavioural problems among adolescents, as reported by their parents, could be found among the experimental group. These findings remained the same at the follow-up.

Obwohl Prävalenzraten psychischer Auffälligkeiten im Jugendalter und diesbezügliche Bedeutsamkeit von Erziehungskompetenzen den Bedarf an evidenzbasierten Präventionsansätzen verdeutlichen, gibt es nur wenige Untersuchungen über Programme zur Stärkung allgemeiner Erziehungskompetenzen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Überprüfung der Wirksamkeit eines solchen Trainings, dem Group Teen Triple P, aus Sicht der Mütter, Väter und Jugendlichen. In einem randomisierten Prä-Post-Kontrolldesign wurden Familien zufällig einer Interventionsgruppe (n = 42) oder einer Kontrollgruppe (n = 40) zugewiesen. Die Familien vervollständigten eine diagnostische Testbatterie zum Prä- und Postzeitpunkt. Aus Sicht der Mütter werden Verhaltensauffälligkeiten Jugendlicher reduziert, Konfliktverhalten zwischen Jugendlichen und Müttern gesenkt, das psychische Befinden der Mütter verbessert und dysfunktionales Erziehungsverhalten gemindert. Aus Sicht der Väter zeigen sich lediglich Verbesserungen im Konfliktverhalten; in der Einschätzung der Jugendlichen ergeben sich keine bedeutsamen Verbesserungen. Die Ergebnisse geben erste Hinweise auf die Wirksamkeit von Group Teen Triple P. Zur Überprüfung der Stabilität der erzielten Effekte sollten zukünftige Studien langfristig angelegt und Fremdeinschätzungen außerhalb der Familie erhoben werden.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionThe population-based (Lililwan) study of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) revealed a high prevalence of FASD in the remote communities of the Fitzroy Valley, Western Australia (WA) and confirmed anecdotal reports from families and teachers that challenging child behaviours were a significant concern. In response, Marninwarntikura Women’s Resource Centre initiated a partnership with researchers from The University of Sydney to bring the positive parenting program (Triple P) to the Valley. Triple P has been effective in increasing parenting skills and confidence, and improving child behaviour in various Indigenous communities.Methods and analysisExtensive consultation with community leaders, service providers, Aboriginal health networks and academic institutions was undertaken and is ongoing. Based on community consultations, the intervention was adapted to acknowledge local cultural, social and language complexities. Carers of children born after 1 January 2002 and living in the Fitzroy Valley are invited to participate in Group Triple P, including additional Stepping Stones strategies for children with complex needs. Programme are delivered by local community service workers, trained and accredited as Triple P providers or ‘parent coaches’. Assessments for parent coach pretraining and post-training includes their perceived ability to deliver the intervention and the cultural appropriateness of the programme. Carers complete preintervention and postintervention and 6-month follow-up assessments of parenting practices, self-efficacy and child behaviour.Ethics and disseminationApproval was granted by the University of Sydney Human Ethics Committee, WA Aboriginal Health Ethics Committee, WA Country Health Services Ethics Committee and Kimberley Aboriginal Health Planning Forum. Consultation with community is imperative for efficacy, engagement, community ownership and sustainability of the programme, and will be ongoing until findings are disseminated. Anonymous findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, community feedback sessions and scientific forums.

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of the Triple P homework tip-sheet and video
by measuring changes in children's homework difficulties, levels of accuracy and completion
of homework tasks, academic achievement and classroom behaviour. Goal-setting and
contingency-contracting procedures were also investigated in response to additional support
requested by the parents as the study progressed. Participants included five parent-child
dyads that were selected from a single primary school in the Christchurch area. The study
was conducted using an ABCD multiple baseline design. Results show that the use of the
Triple P homework resources, and the subsequent implementation of goal-setting and
contingency-contracting procedures, improved parents' ratings of homework problems,
improved homework completion and accuracy, improved academic achievement, and
improved most of the participant's on-task behaviour. In conclusion, this intervention
provides a positive and manageable approach that provides parents with realistic strategies
designed to help them manage their children's homework problems. Additional benefits of
the intervention for parents and their children are discussed, and issues pertaining to the
relevance of homework content.

Objectives: This thesis follows a paper-based format and reports a series of papers exploring the development of Triple P Positive Parenting Program with families of children with asthma, for optimising Quality of Life (QOL) and parental confidence with asthma management tasks. A critical evaluation of the research process, which includes a discussion of key findings and implications for future research, is also reported. Method: Paper 1: A systematic review of existing literature concerning the effectiveness of existing psychosocial interventions designed to improve QOL for children with asthma. Paper 2a: An attempt to conduct a pilot RCT into the effectiveness of tailored web-based Triple P for parents of children with asthma aged 2-8 years, for improving parental QOL and confidence with asthma management tasks. Paper 2b: A qualitative investigation of mothers' experiences (n=10) of a separate, NIHR funded, project where an asthma-specific Triple P intervention was delivered face to face. Paper 2b was designed in response to a lack of outcome data in study two. Paper 2b attempts to address an identified need for in-depth qualitative work to understand, more fully, the richness of parents' subjective experiences of parenting interventions and perceived barriers to engagement. Eligible mothers were those who had disengaged from the face to face intervention. Results: Paper 1: Asthma education has dominated the scope of interventions thus far, and highlighted a need for multi-dimensional psychosocial interventions that address asthma education, but also the systemic and family factors that might influence family knowledge and management of asthma. This includes evaluation of the effectiveness of parenting interventions. Paper 2a: Poor engagement, as demonstrated by poor uptake and retention, undermined the effectiveness of the intervention and outcome data was not obtained. Website-usage statistics provided helpful information about potential barriers to engagement with intervention materials and indicated the need for further qualitative work. Paper 2b: Typically, mothers who had disengaged from the intervention did not perceive links between parenting approach and child asthma and behavior. Mothers described wanting more detailed asthma information, greater access to social support and opportunity to discuss idiosyncratic concerns, more case examples of Triple P techniques applied to asthma-specific situations, and help with managing child asthma-related anxious behavior. Conclusions: There is scope for further work to develop parenting interventions for children with asthma. Greater user-involvement in identifying illness-specific issues when planning interventions may lead to wider engagement. Further work is needed to consider ways of presenting acceptable messages about links between asthma, child behavior, and parenting, and to ensure delivery of socially and culturally inclusive interventions that meet the needs of all families likely to benefit.

Alors que la recherche s’est surtout intéressée à l’efficacité des programmes à données probantes (PDP) à atteindre leurs objectifs envers la clientèle ciblée, beaucoup moins d’attention a été portée aux facteurs favorisant l’implantation optimale et durable de ces programmes dans les communautés. Il semble essentiel que les acteurs des organisations impliquées s’approprient le PDP implanté afin qu’il atteigne son plein potentiel et donne les résultats escomptés. L’implantation serait même considérée comme le « chaînon manquant » entre la recherche et la pratique. Plusieurs variables influençant la qualité de l’implantation concernent les intervenants qui offrent le PDP, telles que les attitudes envers les PDPs, les besoins de formation perçus, l’autoefficacité, les bénéfices perçus et la capacité organisationnelle à l’implantation perçue. Ainsi, la présente thèse vise à documenter la diversité et l’évolution des perceptions d’intervenants au cours du processus d’implantation d’un PDP. Une méthode mixte a été employée afin de bien comprendre l’expérience des intervenants dans leur globalité, en documentant leurs points de vue de façon qualitative et quantitative dans le cadre de deux études. Depuis l’automne 2014, plus d’une centaine d’intervenants provenant de diverses organisations publiques et communautaires du milieu de la santé et de l’éducation ont été formés pour offrir Triple P – Pratiques Parentales Positives, un PDP de soutien à la parentalité destiné aux parents d’enfants âgés de 0 à 12 ans. Le premier volet de cette thèse a permis de décrire l’expérience de 38 intervenants ayant participé à des entrevues de groupe un an après leur formation au programme. Trois types de discours décrivant l’expérience d’implantation de groupes d’intervenants ont été identifiés à la suite d’une analyse approfondie des données recueillies, nommés discours de conviction,d’apprivoisement et d’aliénation. Le second volet de cette thèse porte sur l’évolution des perceptions de 99 intervenants ayant rempli des questionnaires avant leur formation à Triple P et deux ans plus tard. Selon les résultats obtenus, il semble que les attitudes des intervenants envers les PDPs tendent à s’améliorer dans le temps et les besoins perçus de formation à intervenir auprès des parents tendent à diminuer, et ce, selon leur niveau initial de confiance envers la capacité de leur organisation à implanter le programme. De plus, leur sentiment d’efficacité personnelle à utiliser le programme tend à augmenter dans le temps. Ainsi, les résultats de cette thèse suggèrent la présence d’une grande diversité dans l’évolution des perspectives des intervenants à propos de leur expérience d’implantation d’un PDP. Cette thèse souligne également la nature dynamique du processus d’implantation,montrant notamment qu'un positionnement initialement défavorable des intervenants à l'égard de l’implantation d’un nouveau PDP dans leur milieu peut changer dans le temps lorsque les intervenants semblent bénéficier de mesures de soutien de la part de leur organisation. La mise en relation des résultats obtenus avec des théories motivationnelles existantes permet d’apporter un nouvel éclairage sur les éléments qui semblent influencer les changements observés dans les perceptions des intervenants. Les recommandations qui en découlent pourraient améliorer le processus d’implantation des PDPs et pourraient ainsi permettre de potentialiser les effets de ces programmes pour le bien-être des familles et des communautés.

research in this area.
The aim of this research project was to assess the effects of the Triple P Level Four
Positive Parenting Programme on the quality of the sibling relationships and parent-child
relationships with four families drawn from a large city in New Zealand.
Direct observation, semi informal parent interviews, questionnaires, child interviews,
and anecdotal dated and timed notes were used to assess if there were changes in the quality
of target child/sibling and the parent-child-sibling relationship and interactions.
The Triple P Programme appeared to be an effective intervention for three of the four
families according to final parent interviews. However, analysis of the direct observations
indicated inconsistent and varied effects between and within measures.

Adolescence is a stage that brings about multiple developmental changes for
an individual. Parents of adolescent children often find these changes
challenging. Parenting programmes have been created however, to help
alleviate some of these problems. The review of the literature in this article
selects and reviews a few parenting programmes that focus on the
adolescent population. The current study then focuses specifically on one in
particular; Teen Triple P and its use with 4 families. The participants included
were a community sample with identifiable, but non-diagnosable, behavioural
problems between the ages of 12-13 years old. Using a triangulation method
of results; including a multiple-baseline of behaviour monitoring, parental and
youth self-reports, and an observational task, the current study evaluates the
effectiveness of Teen Triple P. The results indicate that notable changes
were observed and reported in young person and parental behaviour for
three of the four families. The other family encountered a crisis prior to the
measures being completed at post-intervention which may have influenced
their findings. Conclusions regarding this study, limitations, and future
focuses for research are also discussed.

This thesis follows a paper based format where papers 1 and 2 are stand-alone papers prepared for submission to the Journal of Pediatric Psychology. The relevant submission guidelines are included in the Appendix. Paper One: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the effects of family-centred interventions for children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes and review the bias associated with included studies. The review summarises the outcome measures which consisted of HbA1cs, hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), adherence, and family relationships including diabetes-related conflict. Research studies that were randomized controlled trials were selected to maximise the quality of information reviewed. Electronic searches of the OVID database using MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched from their start dates until May 2012. Nine studies were located and assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Two studies were excluded from further analysis due to serious concerns about bias of their results. The remaining 7 had their findings summarised in a narrative statement, which indicated that family-centred interventions significantly improved HbA1cs, reduced DKA admission rates, improved adherence, and enhanced family relationships including reduced conflict. Family-centred interventions appear to be effective in enhancing health and psychological outcomes. The interventions however, were mainly in clinical settings and delivered by trained professionals. Given the importance of the family relationships in diabetes control, a need exists for interventions to have a more flexible setting and method of delivery, remain viable and demonstrate sustainability. Paper two: Clinic based interventions in type 1 diabetes have shown improvements in family relationships and metabolic control, but have limited reach. Therefore, a self-directed intervention was evaluated. Recruitment occurred through national advertising with diabetes charities, and the randomized controlled trial was conducted via online data collection. Parents of adolescents (aged 11-17) with diabetes were randomized to usual care (n = 37) or intervention (n = 42) using computerised block randomization, with researchers blinded to block size. The 10 week intervention involved the Self-directed Teen Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) workbook (10x1hour modules) and Chronic Illness tip sheet. Primary outcomes of diabetes-related family conflict and parenting stress were assessed pre and post-intervention. Intention-to-treat analysis was undertaken (n = 79), due to increased attrition from the intervention group. Intervention significantly improved diabetes related conflict, but not parental stress, compared to usual care. Followup analyses will assess maintenance effects and impact on metabolic control. Paper three: This paper was a Critical Evaluation, the purpose of which was to consider the findings from both papers, highlight additional and unexpected outcomes, place the research in the wider context, explore limitations of the thesis, and to discuss implications for future work.

This study was an evaluation of a recently developed intervention for parents who
maltreat their children. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of an
unmodified Behavioural Parent Training programme (Triple P) with an augmented version of
the programme (Pathways). The modified programme was designed to target risk factors
associated with maltreatment including attributions and emotional regulation. Fifteen
participants whose children had been removed from custody by a statutory agency were
divided between the experimental conditions, Triple P (N=8), and Pathways (N=7). The study
focused on shifts in parental cognitions. These were evaluated using the following measures:
the Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory (ECBI), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS),
the Parent Anger Inventory (PAI), Parents Attributions for Child's Behaviour Measure
(PACBM), and the Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAPI).
Due to high attrition in one group (Triple P) a between groups comparison was not
possible. However, assessment of improvement in the 10 remaining participants was possible.
Overall the findings tended to indicate that the augmented programme did not result in any
significant improvement in the parents' self reported problems. Implications of these results
are discussed including issues of the utility of Behavioural Parent Training for parents who
maltreat their children.

Full textAbstract:
Adoption of evidence-based parenting programs by community agencies requires an understanding of the variables that affect their implementation. This study examined variables associated with the implementation of Triple P – Positive Parenting Program in Ontario. Surveys were completed on-line by 63 administrators, 54 supervisors, and 215 service providers from 69 different agencies. In a first article, I report on agencies’ pre-implementation openness, readiness, and resistance as well as on service providers’ self-reported use of and adherence to the program. Respondents from the vast majority of agencies reported openness to change prior to implementation but approximately half reported that they were not ready and experienced resistance. Although the majority of trained service providers used the program, a significant minority had not delivered it since training. The average adherence rate reported by service providers who used the program was 85.9%. In the second article, I report on the variables associated with implementation. The majority of respondents reported that they had adequate office resources to implement Triple P. Over half the managers (administrators and supervisors) and over two thirds of service providers reported that their agency had received adequate training. The most commonly identified barrier to implementation was agency characteristics which included organizational climate, service provider characteristics, and supervision. Adequate office resources and positive agency characteristics were associated with higher program usage by service providers. Service providers’ reports impacted their individual adherence rates whereas managers had broader perspectives of the quality of implementation in their organizations. Differences in reports between managers and service providers were not associated with usage or adherence.

The single most important thing we can do as a society to positively transform the lives of children and prevent social, emotional, and behavioral problems and child maltreatment is to increase the knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents in the task of raising children at a whole-of-population level. This book provides an in-depth description of a comprehensive population-based approach to enhancing competent parenting known as the Triple P—Positive Parenting Program. Delivered as a multilevel system of intervention within a public health framework, Triple P represents a paradigm shift in how parenting support is provided. The Power of Positive Parenting is structured in eight sections that address every aspect of the Triple P system, including (a) the foundations and an overview of the approach; (b) how the system can be applied to a diverse range of child presentations; (c) the theoretical and practical issues involved in working with different types of parents and caregivers; (d) the importance of, and how parenting support can be provided in, a range of delivery contexts; (e) how the system can respond to and embrace cultural diversity of families everywhere; (f) the strategies needed to make large-scale, population-level implementation of the system succeed; (g) lessons learned from real-world applications of the full multilevel approach to parenting support at a population level; and (h) future directions and how further program development and innovation can be supported for this approach to reach its full potential in positively transforming the lives of all children, parents, and communities.

The potential benefits of including fathers in parenting programs is increasingly recognized. Evidence suggests that key aspects of child behavior, fathering, and partner relationships can be positively affected by interventions if fathers are included. This chapter discusses the role of fathers in children’s development and why father-inclusive parenting programs are needed. Next, there is an examination of how the Triple P—Positive Parenting Program has engaged fathers to support the success of Triple P interventions. Research findings illustrate the importance of engaging fathers and co-parenting couples and addressing the needs and interests of both parents in program design and content.

Full textAbstract:
Children’s academic and well-being outcomes are influenced by both the home and the school environments. This means that parents and schools have a shared responsibility for promoting children’s development. Research shows that when parents and schools work together, students, parents, and teachers all benefit. One way in which schools can engage parents in their child’s education is by offering parenting support through parenting programs like the Triple P—Positive Parenting Program. Triple P can assist parents to develop effective morning, afternoon, and bedtime routines and to help students gain the self-management skills and the self-confidence necessary to succeed at school. This chapter discusses strategies and considerations for successfully implementing Triple P in schools, taking into account the school setting, workforce, and factors affecting parent participation.

The Triple P training model has been carefully developed to maintain the fidelity of the program, that is, to maximize the probability that the suite of programs delivered to parents globally closely matches those described and evaluated in the research literature. Three main areas of challenge are discussed: the recruitment, training, and support of Triple P trainers; the development, revision, and quality management of the training courses offered to practitioners; and the development, revision, and quality control of the resources provided to practitioners to support their delivery of the programs. Additional challenges are discussed, including adapting training protocols to changes in the workforce, ensuring practitioners maintain delivery fidelity over time, and exploring opportunities provided by developments in technology, particularly the potential for online training.

Full textAbstract:
The successful large-scale implementation of the Triple P system of evidence-based parenting support requires a comprehensive implementation framework based on principles of implementation science to ensure programs can be scaled and deployed with fidelity. This section provides an overview of a range of factors that might influence the scalability of an intervention. Chapters outlining the Triple P Implementation Framework and system for training and accrediting professionals are discussed. However, any population-based approach needs a strong communications campaign to ensure that parents are aware of the programs, have a pathway to access the program, and are motivated to do so. Having reliable and valid measurement tools to assess outcomes at a population level is particularly important to ensure that policy-driven investments in parenting are achieved. Finally, an innovative model of clinical supervision using peer mentoring is discussed as a way of promoting competent program use.

Full textAbstract:
Since its inception, developers of the Triple P—Positive Parenting Program have been concerned with the generalization of positive parenting skills and how learning in one context can be applied to another. Triple P continues to be concerned with generalization and transfer of learning. However, since Triple P has evolved into a multilevel system of intervention, developers and researchers are now concerned with the extent to which the system can be applied to address a range of problems and support a variety of different populations. This chapter introduces a series of chapters illustrating how the Triple P system can play a valuable role in addressing the needs of families with children with a diverse range of problems and for children of various ages and levels of development. It concludes that Triple P is a robust approach and has enormous potential to improve the lives of children and families.

Increasingly, parents are looking to the Internet for information and advice about parenting. This presents an opportunity to broaden the reach and availability of evidence-based parenting support in an extremely cost-effective manner if we can harness the power of the Internet to deliver engaging and effective interactive programs. Online platforms provide the potential to tailor content and feedback to the user and reduce barriers to participation through ease and immediacy of access, flexibility and self-paced delivery, and increased privacy. This chapter examines the role of technology-assisted delivery of parenting support and discusses challenges in providing evidence-based parenting programs online. Learnings from research into the Triple P Online family of web-based programs are shared, including implementation issues that influence program outcomes, such as program engagement, dosage, and provision of professional support.

Full textAbstract:
There is a need to increase access to evidence-based parenting support in disadvantaged and marginalized communities; however, cultural fit of a mainstream program may be a significant barrier to program adoption. Tailoring existing programs to local family and community needs is the most cost-effective route to achieve broader population reach, rather than creating a new program for each culturally diverse community. This chapter presents a collaborative partnership adaptation model that considers cultural fit and presents a process for tailored cultural adaptation of the implementation of parenting programs, including variations relating to both content and process that may be required for different cultural groups. The examples of Indigenous Triple P, developed with Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community consultation, and Te Whānau Pou Toru (Three Pillars of Positive Parenting), developed with New Zealand Māori community consultation, are discussed as examples.

ABSTRACT Background: Early diagnosis and immediate treatment during antenatal care are highly effective in to the prevention of mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT). The World Health Organization (WHO) launched the global initiative for the elimination of MTCT of syphilis, HIV, and Hepatitis B, and developed global guidance to reduce those incidences, named the triple elimination examination. This study aimed to examine factors affecting pregnant women participation to the triple elimination examination in Semarang, Central Java, using path analysis model. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out at 25 community health centers in Semarang, Central Java, from December 2019 to February 2020. A sample of 200 pregnant women was selected by stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was participation to triple elimination examination. The independent variables were intention, attitude, outcome expectation, modeling, knowledge, husband support, access to information, and distance to the health center. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis run on Stata 13. Results: Pregnant women participation to the triple elimination examination was directly increased with strong intention (b= 4.68; 95% CI= 1.50 to 7.86; p= 0.004), positive attitude (b= 2.61; 95% CI= 1.08 to 4.13; p= 0.001), strong self-efficacy (b= 1.98; 95% CI= 0.38 to 3.57; p= 0.015), modeling (b= 1.93; 95% CI= 0.44 to 3.42; p= 0.011), positive outcome expectation (b= 2.38; 95% CI= 0.69 to 4.06; p= 0.006), high knowledge (b= 1.61; 95% CI= 0.05 to 3.17; p= 0.044), strong husband support (b= 1.65; 95% CI= 0.21 to 3.09; p= 0.025), and accessible information (b= 1.85; 95% CI= 0.29 to 3.40; p= 0.020). Participation to the triple elimination examination was directly decreased with distance to health service (b= -2.15; 95% CI= -3.73 to -0.57; p= 0.008). It was indirectly affected by attitude, knowledge, outcome expectation, and access to information. Conclusion: Pregnant women participation to the triple elimination examination is directly increased with strong intention, positive attitude, strong self-efficacy, modeling, positive outcome expectation, high knowledge, strong husband support, and accessible information. Participation to the triple elimination examination is directly decreased with distance to health service. It is indirectly affected by attitude, knowledge, outcome expectation, and access to information. Keywords: triple elimination, pregnant women, path analysis Correspondence: Mei Fatimah.

ABSTRACT Background: Childhood obesity remains a serious nutritional problem in both developed and developing countries. The prevalence of school-age children with obesity has increased more than ten times, from 11 million in 1975 to 124 million in 2016. One of the efforts to overcome the increase in childhood obesity is providing school-based intervention. This study aimed to estimate the effect of a school-based intervention to reduce the risk of obesity in children according to data from primary studies. Subjects and Method: This was a meta analysis and systematic review. Studies published from 2007 to 2018 were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, BMJ, ScienceDirect, BMC, and Sage databases. Keywords used (preschool OR school) AND (intervention OR program OR prevention) AND (“children obesity” OR “children overweight”) AND “randomized control trials”. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, using randomized controlled trial study design, and reporting risk ratio. The selected articles were analyzed by PRISMA guideline and Revman 5.3. Results: 8 studies from China (3), Meksiko, United States (2), Portugal, and German showed that school-based intervention reduced the risk of obesity in children (RR= 0.91; CI 95%= 0.84 to 0.99; p=0.040) with (I2=35%; p=0.150).

Purpose: Finding the balance between the training, the competition, and recovery is a crucial component for maximal sports performance. A huge range of sport recovery methods is pre-sented as an important part of training programs. In recent years, there has been an increas-ing interest in using the contrast water immersion and massage and its effect on subsequent muscle function. Recent studies have shown that the contrast water immersion affects the maximal force, which can be useful for subsequent repeated performance. This study aims to investigate the differences between using immediate mechanotherapy and contrast water immersion on cycling performance. Methods: Eight physically active male participants (age 27.1 ± 2.32 years; body mass 77.38 ± 5.43 kg; body height 1.78 ± 0.05 m; body fat 10.12 ± 2.23 %; maximum heart rate 182 ± 4 beats·min-1; VO2max 47.92 ± 7.16 mL.kg-1.min-1) volunteered and gave written in-formed consent to participate in this study. Participants completed three trials, each sepa-rated by one week. Each trial consisted of two “all-out” exercise bouts (30-20-10 s) against the load resistance of 0.07 kg/body weight. Three minutes recovery phase was between the “all-out” exercise bouts (1 W/kg; a pedal rate of 70–75 rpm). Following this, the selected recovery strategy was applied for 24 minutes (PAS-passive recovery, MT-massage therapy, CWI-contrast water immersion). The effect of recovery was assessed through changes in performance parameters, blood lactate concentration, and blood gases analyses. Results: The results obtained from the analysis showed positive statistical significance differ-ence between using PAS vs. MT (p = 0.0313) and PAS vs. CWI (p = 0.0441) for peak power. Interestingly, there were similar differences in fatigue index when we had compared PAS vs. MT and PAS vs. CWI. A decrease in lactate levels overtime was the highest for CWI. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that CWI and MT could be considered as a useful method in sports recovery. The results of this research support the idea that passive recovery is not the right way of recovery, especially when the athletes expect subsequent performance. Future trials should assess the impact of water temperature and different mas-sage techniques on performance and also for subjective feelings of athletes.

Full textAbstract:
Whilst there is extensive industry experience of under pressure welding onto operational natural gas and liquid pipelines, there is limited experience for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) pipelines, either in the gaseous or dense phase. National Grid has performed a detailed research program to investigate if existing natural gas industry under pressure welding procedures are applicable to CO2 pipelines, or if new specific guidance is required. At IPC 2014 a paper was presented (IPC2014-33223) that dealt with the results from one part of a comprehensive trial program, which defined the cooling time from 250 °C to 150 °C (T250-150) in CO2 pipelines and compared them to the typical decay times for natural gas pipelines. The results from this part of the work identified that maintaining the pre-heat using the established guidance in T/SP/P/9 during under pressure welding on dense phase CO2 pipelines would be very difficult, leading to potential operational issues. The previous paper gave a brief summary of the effect that cooling time had on the mechanical properties. The aim of this paper is to present the findings of the T800-500 weld decay trials in more detail including the full testing programme, detailing the affect that variables such as CO2 phase, CO2 flow velocity and the welding parameters had on the weld and heat affected zone (HAZ) hardness. The main finding is that although there is an indication that a higher cooling rate measured in the weld pool (characterized by the cooling time from 800 °C to 500 °C) leads to increased hardness in the HAZ region, there are no clear correlations. No hardness values were recorded that were considered unacceptable, even for the dense phase CO2 case which delivered the fastest cooling time. A significant finding was the requirement for controlling the buttering run procedure. A discussion of the critical aspects, including the link between weld cooling time and hardness, is presented with guidance on how this essential variables need to be controlled. The paper is aimed at technical, safety and operational staff with CO2 pipeline operators. Read in conjunction, this paper and the previous IPC paper form a comprehensive review of this critical work that is contributing to the development of dense phase CO2 transportation pipelines and will facilitate the implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)1 projects which is a critical part of the transition to a low carbon economy.

Tobacco use is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Qatar. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to design, implement, and evaluate an intensive education program on tobacco-use treatment for pharmacists in Qatar. The study objectives are to assess the effectiveness of the program on pharmacists’ skills toward tobacco cessation. Methods: A random sample of community pharmacists in Qatar was selected for participation. Consenting participants were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups. Participants in the intervention group received an intensive education program on treatment of tobacco-use disorder. A short didactic session on a non-tobacco-related topic was delivered to pharmacists in the control group. The pharmacists’ tobacco cessation skills were assessed using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Six-station OSCE targeting core smoking cessation competencies and skills was completed by participants in both groups. Performance of participants was assessed using validated assessment checklists that comprised analytical and global assessment sections. Results: A total of 54 and 32 participants in the intervention and the control group respectively completed the OSCE. Overall, pharmacists in the intervention group performed better in the analytical and global assessment sections than those in the control group. For example, for case 1, mean scores for developing rapport, data gathering and management were 2.76 vs 0.97 (p-<0.001), 5 vs 2.81 (p <0.001), and 3.5 vs 2.25 (p=0.001) respectively for the intervention group compared to the control group. Mean total analytical scores were 12.06 vs 6.4 (p-<0.001) for intervention compared to the control group for case 1. Furthermore, mean global assessment scores for case 1 were 3.19 vs 2.41 (p=0.009) for the intervention compared to the control group. Conclusion: The study results suggest that provision of an intensive educational program on the treatment of tobacco use results in improved skills toward tobacco cessation.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Structural designs of complex buildings and infrastructures have long been based on engineering experience and a trial-and-error approach. The structural performance is checked each time when a design is determined. An alternative strategy based on numerical optimization techniques can provide engineers an effective and efficient design approach. To achieve an optimal design, a finite element (FE) program is employed to calculate structural responses including forces and deformations. A gradient-based or gradient-free optimization method can be integrated with the FE program to guide the design iterations, until certain convergence criteria are met. Due to the iterative nature of the numerical optimization, a user programming is required to repeatedly access and modify input data and to collect output data of the FE program. In this study, an approximation method was developed so that the structural responses could be expressed as approximate functions, and that the accuracy of the functions could be adaptively improved. In the method, the FE program was not required to be directly looped in the optimization iterations. As a practical illustrative example, a 3D reinforced concrete building structure was optimized. The proposed method worked very well and optimal designs were found to reduce the torsional responses of the building.</p>

Tobacco use is one of the main causes of premature deaths and preventable diseases in Qatar. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to design, implement, and evaluate an intensive education program on tobacco-use treatment for pharmacists in Qatar. The study objectives are to assess the effectiveness of the program on pharmacists’ knowledge, skills, attitudes and perceived self-efficacy toward tobacco cessation. Methods: Community pharmacists practicing in Qatar were eligible for participation in the study. Consenting participants were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups. Participants in the intervention group received an intensive education program on treatment of tobacco-use disorder. A short didactic session on a non-tobacco-related topic was delivered to pharmacists in the control group. Outcomes were assessed using survey instruments. Results: Participants in the intervention group (n=57) achieved significantly higher total tobacco-related knowledge scores (mean=33 points) than those in the control group (n=37) (mean=24.5 points) with a p-value of <0.001. Post-intervention total knowledge scores were significantly higher than the baseline scores for participants who received intensive tobacco education with a mean difference of 6.6 points (p-value <0.001). Overall attitudes toward tobacco cessation and self-efficacy in tobacco cessation interventions were better in the group of pharmacists who received tobacco education compared to those who did not. For instance, 43.4% of pharmacists in the intervention group “strongly agreed” that their counseling will increase a patient’s likelihood of quitting tobacco use compared to 14.7% in the control group (p-value=0.014). Furthermore, 20.4% of pharmacists in the intervention group reported that they are “extremely confident” to use appropriate questions to ask patients when providing tobacco cessation counseling versus 5.9% in the control group (p-value=0.005). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that provision of an intensive educational program on the treatment of tobacco use disorders results in improved tobacco-related knowledge and self-efficacy in tobacco cessation interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Blood pressure control is an important component of cardiovascular disease prevention. Despite the advances in the treatment of hypertension; effective management remains poor. Studies have shown that acupuncture facilitated a significant reduction in blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in reducing blood pressure on hypertensive patients. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collected articles from PubMed, Google Schoolar, Mendeley, and Hindawi databases. Keywords used “acupuncture hypertension” OR “acupuncture high blood pressure” AND “efficacy acupuncture” AND “hypertension” AND “effect acupuncture for hypertension” AND “randomized controlled trial” AND “visual analogue scale”. The study population was patients with hypertension. The intervention was acupuncture. The comparison was sham acupuncture. The outcome was blood pressure reduction. The inclusion criteria were full text with English language and using randomized controlled trial study design. The selected articles were analyzed by PRISMA flow diagram and RevMan 5.3. Results: 7 articles were studied. There was high heterogeneity between experiment groups (I2= 66%; p= 0.007). Acupuncture therapy was more effective to reduce blood pressure than sham acupuncture (Standardized Mean Difference= 0.13; 95% CI= -0.13 to 0.39; p= 0.320). Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy is effective to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Keywords: hypertension, acupuncture Correspondence: Fahmi Eko Susilo.

Full textAbstract:
National Grid, in the United Kingdom (UK), has extensive experience in the management and execution of under pressure operations on its natural gas pipelines. These under pressure operations include welding, ‘hot tap’ and ‘stopple’ operations, and the installation of sleeve repairs. National Grid Carbon is pursuing plans to develop a pipeline network in the Humber and North Yorkshire areas of the UK to transport dense phase Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from major industrial emitters in the area to saline aquifers off the Yorkshire coast. One of the issues that needed to be resolved is the requirement to modify and/or repair dense phase CO2 pipeline system. Existing under pressure experience and procedures for natural gas systems have been proven to be applicable for gaseous phase CO2 pipelines; however, dense phase CO2 pipeline systems require further consideration due to their higher pressures and different phase behaviour. Consequently, there is a need to develop procedures and define requirements for dense phase CO2 pipelines. This development required an experimental programme of under pressure welding trials using a flow loop to simulate real dense phase CO2 pipeline operating conditions. This paper describes the experiments which involved: • Heat decay trials which demonstrated that the practical limitation for under pressure welding on dense phase CO2 systems will be maintaining a sufficient level of heat to achieve the cooling time from 250 °C to 150 °C (T250–150) above the generally accepted 40 second limit. • A successful welding qualification trial with a welded full encirclement split sleeve arrangement. The work found that for the same pipe wall thickness, flow velocity and pressure, dense phase CO2 has the fastest cooling time when compared with gaseous phase CO2 and natural gas. The major practical conclusion of the study is that for dense phase CO2 pipelines with a wall thickness of 19.0 mm or above, safe and practical under pressure welding is possible in accordance with the existing National Grid specification (i.e. T/SP/P/9) up to a flow velocity of around 0.9 m/s. The paper also outlines the work conducted into the use of the Manual Phased Array (MPA) inspection technique on under pressure welding applications. Finally, the paper identifies and considers the additional development work needed to ensure that a comprehensive suite of under pressure operations and procedures are available for the pipeline operator.

Full textAbstract:
Many students struggle with mathematics in late elementary school, particularly on the topic of fractions. In a best evidence syntheses of research on increasing achievement in elementary school mathematics, Pelligrini et al. (2018) highlighted tutoring as a way to help students. Online tutoring is attractive because costs may be lower and logistics easier than with face-to-face tutoring. Cignition developed an approach that combines online 1:1 tutoring with a fractions game, called FogStone Isle. The game provides students with additional learning opportunities and provides tutors with information that they can use to plan tutoring sessions. A randomized controlled trial investigated the research question: Do students who participate in online tutoring and a related mathematical game learn more about fractions than students who only have access to the game? Participants were 144 students from four schools, all serving low-income students with low prior mathematics achievement. In the Treatment condition, students received 20-25 minute tutoring sessions twice per week for an average of 18 sessions and also played the FogStone Isle game. In the Control condition, students had access to the game, but did not play it often. Control students did not receive tutoring. Students were randomly assigned to condition after being matched on pre-test scores. The same diagnostic assessment was used as a pre-test and as a post-test. The planned analysis looked for differences in gain scores ( post-test minus pre-test scores) between conditions. We conducted a t-test on the aggregate gain scores, comparing conditions; the results were statistically significant (t = 4.0545, df = 132.66, p-value < .001). To determine an effect size, we treated each site as a study in a meta-analysis. Using gain scores, the effect size was g=+.66. A more sophisticated treatment of the pooled standard deviation resulted in a corrected effect size of g=.46 with a 95% confidence interval of [+.23,+.70]. Students who received online tutoring and played the related Fog Stone Isle game learned more; our research found the approach to be efficacious. The Pelligrini et al. (2018) meta-analysis of elementary math tutoring programs found g = .26 and was based largely on face-to-face tutoring studies. Thus, this study compares favorably to prior research on face-to-face mathematics tutoring with elementary students. Limitations are discussed; in particular, this is an initial study of an intervention under development. Effects could increase or decrease as development continues and the program scales. Although this study was planned long before the current pandemic, results are particularly timely now that many students are at home under shelter-in-place orders due to COVID-19. The approach taken here is feasible for students at home, with tutors supporting them from a distance. It is also feasible in many other situations where equity could be addressed directly by supporting students via online tutors.
