Summary

This study evaluated the effectiveness of strategies for engaging parents into parenting programs. Engagement strategies included a booklet showing testimonial quotes and photos from prior participants, a recommendation to attend for the child's teacher, and a motivational call from the parenting program provider. It was hypothesized that the combination of engagement strategies would increase attendance at a parenting intervention compared to receiving only a promotional brochure and research interview.

OTHER	Promotional Brochure	Promotional brochure with information about the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and an enrollment form.
OTHER	Family Testimonial Flyer	Flyer that included quotes and photos from parents who had previously participated in the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and/or their children who participated in the free childcare.
OTHER	Teacher Endorsement	Brief conversation between the parent and their child's teacher in which the teacher told the parent about the benefits of participating in the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and recommended the parent attend.
OTHER	Provider Engagement Call	This was a manualized, 20-minute call from the Triple P Positive Parenting Program provider to a parent in which the provider elicited the parent's child-focused goals and showed how the parent's goals could be addressed by Triple P. The provider also helped the parent problem solve barriers to attendance and develop an action plan to handle common barriers (e.g., scheduling conflicts) as well as set session reminders.
