<p>This pilot study evaluated effects of parents’ participation in a 6-week online Boys Town Common Sense Parenting (CSP) program on parent and youth executive function (EF) and youth behavior problems using pre-, post-, and 30 days follow-up single-group design. Fifty parents (92% females, 70% White) of school-age children taking online Boys Town CSP classes at four Boys Town sites throughout the U.S. were recruited for this pilot study. Parental reports were used to collect data on parent and youth EF and youth behavior problems pre-, post-, and at 30 days after completing the online Boys Town CSP using online surveys. Parents also reported the use of positive parenting behaviors, and parental stress as a part of routine pre- and post- Boys Town CSP surveys. Changes in pilot study outcomes were analyzed with piece-wise models using data from three assessments, while all routine CSP data were analyzed with paired t-tests. Parents reported small decreases in time-management EF deficits post- to 30 days follow up, and modest changes in parental stress and positive parenting behaviors pre- to post-CSP. Parental reports of youths’ outcomes showed significant changes only for girls, indicating large decreases in inhibitory control and emotion regulation EF deficits, and attention problems post- to 30 days follow up. The findings from our study, while modest and limited by sample size and design, support the potential of the Boys Town CSP as a scalable digital intervention enhancing EF and positive parenting practices.</p>

摘要

This pilot study evaluated effects of parents’ participation in a 6-week online Boys Town Common Sense Parenting (CSP) program on parent and youth executive function (EF) and youth behavior problems using pre-, post-, and 30 days follow-up single-group design. Fifty parents (92% females, 70% White) of school-age children taking online Boys Town CSP classes at four Boys Town sites throughout the U.S. were recruited for this pilot study. Parental reports were used to collect data on parent and youth EF and youth behavior problems pre-, post-, and at 30 days after completing the online Boys Town CSP using online surveys. Parents also reported the use of positive parenting behaviors, and parental stress as a part of routine pre- and post- Boys Town CSP surveys. Changes in pilot study outcomes were analyzed with piece-wise models using data from three assessments, while all routine CSP data were analyzed with paired t-tests. Parents reported small decreases in time-management EF deficits post- to 30 days follow up, and modest changes in parental stress and positive parenting behaviors pre- to post-CSP. Parental reports of youths’ outcomes showed significant changes only for girls, indicating large decreases in inhibitory control and emotion regulation EF deficits, and attention problems post- to 30 days follow up. The findings from our study, while modest and limited by sample size and design, support the potential of the Boys Town CSP as a scalable digital intervention enhancing EF and positive parenting practices.
