The MATCH BPT Program consists of 8-12 weekly (depending on how long it takes for individual parents and their assigned trainer to get through the material), 60 minute individually-implemented sessions.The sessions will consist of the coach obtaining and reviewing weekly assignments completed by the parent, followed by activities and discussions that focus on a particular parenting skill (i.e. praise, active ignoring, giving effective instructions). The discussions will emphasize benefits and possible problems that the parent may encounter throughout the week while implementing the new skill. The coach will assign to the parent a practice assignment to further encourage use of the concept.

Assesses two factors of mindfulness in parenting: Being in the moment with the child and mindful discipline. For all 28 items, parents rate themselves for each item using the following scale: 1 = never, 2 = rarely, 3 = sometimes, 4 = often, 5 = almost always. Standard Scores are obtained for each subscale by summing up the items that make up that subscale and then using a conversion table.

A widely used scale to assess the tendency to be mindful in daily life.The FFMQ is a 39-item self-report measure that evaluates five facets of the tendency to be mindful in daily life and consists of the five subscales of Observing (scores range from 8 to 40), Describing (scores range from 8 to 40), Acting with Awareness (scores range from 8 to 40), Nonreactivity (scores range from 7 to 35), and Nonjudging (scores range from 8 to 40). The scale uses a five-point Likert scale for all items, where 1 = never or very rarely true and 5 = very often or always true. For all subscales a higher score is indicative of a greater tendency to be mindful in that particular facet. The two subscales are Mindful Discipline and Being in the Moment with the Child; for both scales, Standard scores between 90 and 110 fall within the average range, with higher scores indicating greater levels of mindful parenting.

Assesses how parents view their relationship with their children (and how children view their relationship with their parents). There are 25 items split into two parts, part 1 with items 1 through 14 and part 2 with items 15 through 25 in the PACHIQ-R questionnaire. The Total Score ranges from 25 to 125. A high Total Score is indicative for a positive relationship.

Self-report measure of dysfunctional parenting in discipline situations. The measure consists of 30 items, and each item receives a 1-7 score. The Total Score is calculated by averaging the responses on all 30 items and ranges from 1 to 7. There are 4 subscales - Laxness, Overreactivity, Verbosity, and Other - the scores for which are also calculated by averaging the responses on the items that make up each subscale. The score for each subscale ranges from 1 to 7. For each score, lower numbers indicate a higher probability of using effective discipline strategies and higher numbers indicate a higher probability of using ineffective discipline strategies.

Measure of parenting behavior that contains two independent scales, Supportive/Engaged and Hostile/Coercive. We will only be looking at the Supportive/Engaged Subscale, which measures levels of supportive/engagement parenting behavior. For this subscale, parents rate themselves for each item using the following scale: 0 = not at all true, 1 = a little true, 2 = somewhat true, 3= moderately true, 4 = quite a bit true, 5 = very true. To obtain To obtain the Subscale score, the responses to each item are summed together; the score can range from 0 to 50. A higher score is indicative of parents engaging in more supportive or engaged parenting behaviors.

Parenting practices will be assessed using data derived from 35 min of videotaped parent-child interaction. These interactions will sample five different tasks. Trained observers blind to intervention assignment will then code the tapes of the family interaction using the FPP and will make global ratings.

The first half of the measure is designed to assess inattentive-impulsive-overactive behaviors while the second half captures behaviors related to oppositional-defiant activity. All 10 items of the measure are scored using a four point Likert scale with the following anchors: not at all (0); just a little (1); pretty much (2); and very much (3). The first five items on the IOWA are designed to measure inattentive-impulsive-overactive (IO Subscale) behaviors and the second five items are designed to measure oppositional-defiant (OD Subscale) behaviors. For both scales, higher scores indicate greater impairment and the scores can range from 0 to 15.

A measure of parents' knowledge of effective parenting strategies.This measure consists of 33 items, and we will be looking at the total number of correct answers obtained by the participant. As such, the score can range from 0 to 33, with a higher score indicate a greater knowledge of parenting strategies.

Assesses individual differences in the habitual use of two emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The ERQ is a 10-item scale on which parents rate each item using a Likert scale of 1 (Strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). There are two subscales, Reappraisal (ranges from 1 to 42) and Suppression (ranges from 4 to 28). For the Reappraisal scale higher scores indicate a more frequent use of reappraisal as an emotional regulation strategy, and for the Suppression Subscale higher scores mean a more frequent use of suppression as an emotion regulation strategy.

A measure of parent emotional expression in discipline specific situations; it will be modified to reflect parents' emotional expression when faced with child misbehavior. We will be looking at the Total Score (which ranges from 16 to 112), as well as several subscale scores: Negative Expressivity (ranges from 6 to 42), Positive Expressivity (ranges from 4 to 28), and Impulse Strength (ranges from 6 to 42). For all scales a higher score means a greater amount of emotional expressivity is displayed by the individual.

A measure of parent's emotional experience in discipline specific situations. The measure consists of 20 items, on which parents rate themselves for each item using the following scale: 1 = very slightly or not at all, 2 = a little, 3 = moderately, 4 = quite a bit, and 5 = very much. To calculate the Positive Affect Subscale Score, the scores on the ten items that make up the subscale are summed together. Scores can range from 10-50, with higher scores representing higher levels of positive affect. To calculate the Negative Affect Subscale Score, the scores on the 10 items that make up that subscale are summed together. Scores can range from 10-50, with lower scores representing lower levels of negative affect.

Measures the level of stress in the parent-child relationship and is appropriate for use with children aged 1 month to 12 years. It consists of 36 statements, each rated on a 1 to 5 scale (i.e., strongly disagree, disagree, not sure, agree, and strongly agree), which produces a Total Stress score that ranges from 36 to 180, with a higher score indicating greater levels of parenting stress.

The scale measures the amount of parenting stress brought on by changes in employment, income or other factors in the parent's life. This questionnaire consists of 4 items on a Likert Scale. Parents rate themselves for each item using the following scale on a: 1 = Strongly agree, 2 = Somewhat agree, 3 = Somewhat disagree, and 4 = Strongly disagree. A Total Score is calculated by using the sum of all items divided by the top value of the Likert scale (i.e. 4); as such the Total Score ranges from 1 to 4, with a higher score indicating greater levels of stress.
