Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational module on improving parent's ability to identify National Guard and Reserve children at-risk for mental health abnormities.
Methods: A pre-post study design was used. The sample consisted of 51 National Guard and Reserve parents. Participants were recruited online from a Military Ministry Network, email list servs, and social media. Baseline data was collected on the preintervention survey. The educational module included signs/symptoms of abnormal mental health in children and the Pediatric Symptom Checklist 35. Postintervention data collection included the same data collected at baseline except demographics.
Results: The intervention increased parents' confidence and knowledge but failed to change the types of services parents used to access care. All children were at low-risk.
Discussion: Parent-led education about mental health disorders, symptoms, causes, and treatments is an important first step in helping families take charge of treatment and management.
