Abstract

Behavior disorders (BDs) are common and, without treatment, can have long-term impacts on child and family health. Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) is the standard of care intervention for early-onset BDs; however, structural socioeconomic barriers hinder treatment outcomes for low-income families. While digital technologies have been proposed as a mechanism to improve engagement in BPT, research exploring the relationship between technology use and outcomes is lacking. Thus, this study with 34 low-income families examined the impact of parents' use of adjunctive mobile app components on treatment efficiency in one technology-enhanced (TE-) BPT program, Helping the Noncompliant Child (HNC). While parent use of the TE-HNC app and its impact on the efficiency of service delivery varied across specific components, increased app use significantly reduced the number of weeks required for families to achieve skill mastery. Implications for the design and development of behavior intervention technologies in general, as well as for BPT in particular, are discussed.

技术强化行为父母训练:技术使用与服务提供效率的关系。

行为障碍(bd)很常见，如果不进行治疗，可能对儿童和家庭健康产生长期影响。行为父母训练(BPT)是早发性bd的护理干预标准;然而，结构性社会经济障碍阻碍了低收入家庭的治疗效果。虽然数字技术已被提出作为一种机制，以提高参与BPT，研究技术使用和结果之间的关系是缺乏的。因此，本研究对34个低收入家庭进行了研究，研究了父母使用辅助移动应用程序组件对技术增强(TE-) BPT计划(帮助不服从儿童(HNC))治疗效率的影响。虽然家长使用TE-HNC应用程序及其对服务提供效率的影响因具体组件而异，但应用程序使用的增加显著减少了家庭掌握技能所需的周数。本文讨论了一般行为干预技术的设计和开发的意义，特别是对BPT的意义。

期刊介绍： For two decades, researchers and practitioners have turned to Behavior Modification for current scholarship on applied behavior modification. Starting in 1995, in addition to keeping you informed on assessment and modification techniques relevant to psychiatric, clinical, education, and rehabilitation settings, Behavior Modification revised and expanded its focus to include treatment manuals and program descriptions. With these features you can follow the process of clinical research and see how it can be applied to your own work. And, with Behavior Modification, successful clinical and administrative experts have an outlet for sharing their solutions in the field.
