Summary
This trial is testing whether a virtual program can improve children's mental, emotional, and behavioral health by helping their parents manage stressors such as depression, addiction, and poverty. The program was originally designed for in-person delivery, but had to be adapted for online delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents with children aged between birth and 32 months who are willing to participate in a 10-12 week parenting program. They must commit to one-hour weekly sessions, involve a co-parent for some sessions if possible, and consent to dried blood sample collection from themselves and their children at Calgary agencies.
What is being tested?
The ATTACH™ Parenting Program is being adapted for online delivery due to COVID-19. The study will develop web-based applications and mobile apps aimed at improving the mental, emotional, and behavioral health of children by supporting parents through virtual training.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves educational support rather than medical treatment, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience discomfort or stress related to technology use or confronting personal issues during the program.

Trial Design
1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A quasi-experimental design was selected to more closely approximate service delivery models in agencies that do not typically employ control groups. Given promising findings (from seven ATTACH™ pilot studies), a randomized controlled trial design, even employing wait-list controls was deemed unacceptable and even unethical by patients, health care professionals and health system administrators in engagement activities surrounding the preparation of this proposal.
