The goal of this article is to examine how technology has been and can be utilized to enhance parent-focused child maltreatment (CM) prevention efforts. The authors begin with a brief discussion of the current state of the CM prevention field. In the sections that follow, they review studies that have examined the use of technology across three facets of prevention: identification of CM, administration/augmentation of CM prevention programs, and broad dissemination and implementation of evidenced-based CM prevention programs. They conclude with a discussion of limitations and problems related to the use of technology as a tool to enhance CM prevention and future directions.

We reviewed the available evidence on psychosocial treatments for disruptive behaviors in children, as an update to Kaminski and Claussen (2017), focusing on children up to age 12 years. Search strategies, study inclusion, and treatment classification followed the procedures developed by Southam-Gerow and Prinstein (2014). Of the 44 included studies from 2016 to 2021, only 9 impacted previous results, either by increasing the level of evidence (for two treatment families) or documenting evidence for a new treatment family (four new treatment families).

Article Synopsis
- Parental provision of alcohol to minors is linked to negative outcomes, necessitating public health campaigns to address this issue through different messaging strategies.
- This study compared a fear-based campaign with a first-person narrative campaign to see which was more effective in changing parents' intentions to provide alcohol to their children.
- Both campaigns were successful in reducing intentions to supply alcohol, with varying effectiveness based on parents’ demographics, suggesting that tailored approaches are essential for future campaigns aimed at different parent groups.
The Use of Noncommercial Parent-Focused mHealth Interventions for Behavioral Problems in Youth: Systematic Review.
JMIR Mhealth Uhealth

Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Baylor University, Waco, TX, United States.
Background: The rates of substance use among adolescents are alarmingly high, and current treatment options lack integration of parent-focused interventions, despite evidence that effective parenting practices can mediate treatment outcomes for adolescents involved in substance use. Accessibility and other barriers to parental interventions may be mitigated through mobile health (mHealth); however, few mHealth platforms target substance use behaviors for adolescents through the implementation of behavioral parent training strategies.
Objective: This study seeks to review current mHealth platforms within empirical literature that are designed to increase effective parenting through behavioral parent training techniques.
