If You Build It, Will They Come? Patterns of Internet-Based and Face-to-Face Participation in a Parenting Program for Military Families

Type
Summary

Understanding who engages in parenting education programs and by which modes of delivery (e.g., in-person, online) allows providers to tailor programs to have the greatest impact on families. This study examined the associations between military parent demographics and both online and in-person engagement in the After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT) program. Results suggest parent demographic characteristics may be related to different preferred modes of delivery.
