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

Summary
Understanding who engages in parenting education programs and by which modes of delivery (e.g., inperson, 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.
