Hypothesis

This study aimed to develop actionable strategies to support the implementation of an evidence-based, co-designed, technology-assisted parenting intervention.

Conclusion

The CFIR–ERIC approach provided relevant pre-implementation strategies to address barriers in implementing a novel parenting intervention for parents of children with adverse childhood experiences.

Supporting Evidence

  • Fourteen CFIR constructs were identified as facilitators, and eleven as barriers.
  • Eleven strategies to mitigate the barriers were identified using the CFIR–ERIC tool.
  • Most strategies aligned with the ERIC clusters 'Use evaluative and iterative strategies' and 'Develop stakeholder interrelationships'.

Takeaway

This study looked at how to help parents get better support for their kids by using technology in parenting programs. It found ways to make these programs easier to use.

Methodology

One-on-one interviews were conducted with 14 staff at a community health service, and a theoretical thematic analysis was used to identify barriers and facilitators.

Limitations

The small number of service provider participants may limit the generalizability of the findings.
