The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of positive parenting programs targeted to parents of toddlers, children and adolescents carried out in Cantabria (Spain).
We will collect information from the participants before the intervention, in the last session of the program and some months after, to verify if there have been some changes in the family dynamics of these parents, and if these changes continue after some time. Besides, we will compare these results with information from other families that are not taking part in the program. The main caregivers of the participating families and the practitioners in charge of the intervention will provide the information for the study.
We expect that families participating in the programs will improve their parenting competencies and their family dynamics, and that these change will stay after the program.
A quasi-experimental design will be followed, with three evaluation moments (pretest, posttest and follow-up) and with a non-randomized comparison group.
The positive parenting programs will be advertised by social media, schools and high schools. The participants will be parental figures interested in joining these programs.
The participants will answer a series of questionnaires by an app, where they will give information related to sociodemographic data and parenting competencies. The app will not allow the participants to leave any question with no answer or with an incorrect answer.
To analyze the data, we will use the softwares Mplus and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
