Development and Validation of Fidelity Monitoring and Enhancement in an Evidence-Based Parenting Program.

This article adds to current research by examining treatment fidelity of an evidence-based parenting program (namely Triple P) as part of a large clinical trial which included a range of procedures for promoting fidelity including both expert and peer supervision. Procedures for monitoring and promoting fidelity are described, and two major aspects of fidelity, namely content adherence and process fidelity, were evaluated. All treatment sessions for 166 families participating in the Standard Triple P-Positive Parenting Program were video-recorded and then sampled for evaluation without advanced knowledge by delivery practitioners.

A Randomized Trial of Baby Triple P for Preterm Infants: Child Outcomes at 2 Years of Corrected Age.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of a hospital-based intervention that transitions into existing community support, in enhancing developmental outcomes at 2 years of corrected age in infants born at less than 32 weeks.

Study Design: In total, 323 families of 384 infants born <32 weeks were randomized to receive intervention or care-as-usual. The intervention teaches parents coping skills, partner support, and effective parenting strategies over 4 hospital-based and 4 home-phone sessions.
