| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Parent Mental Health Literacy | Parent Mental Health Literacy was assessed with 23-item self-report measure, the Parental Child Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire. Using a 5-pt scale with endpoints of "0=strongly disagree" and "4=strongly agree," parents were asked to indicate their level of agreement with statements related to 5 constructs: mental health recognition, beliefs, knowledge, help-seeking confidence, and fear of stigma. Scores ranged from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate greater literacy. | From enrollment to completion of AMP-CARE program or 6-12 weeks after enrollment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Parent Self Efficacy | Parenting self-efficacy was assessed with the 19-item self-report measure Parenting Self Efficacy Scale. Using a 5-point scale, parents indicated how frequently states related to their efficacy to develop positive teenager behavior, their efficacy to respond competently to negative teenager behavior, and their monitoring efficacy were true from "1=never" to 5 "always." Total scores ranged from 1 to 5 with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy. |
