The participant population will have elevated PTSD symptoms and parent-child functioning difficulties with an index child between the ages of 3-12. The main question\[s\]it aims to answer are: • Does Strength at Home Parents improve parenting stress and parenting behaviors in comparison to a no-treatment control condition? • Are gains maintained over time and is there a gender difference in efficacy? Participants will complete 4 online assessments, and if randomized to the intervention group they will complete an 8 week tele-health group program. If randomized to the control group participants will receive a link to the VA parenting resources website and any referrals they would like to have. Researchers will compare Strength at Home Parents to VA treatment as usual see if the group intervention improves parenting stress and behaviors above and beyond the existing resources., conditionsModule conditions: Parent-Child Relations, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 200, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Strength at Home Parents, interventions name: VA treatment as usual, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Parenting Stress Index total score, primaryOutcomes measure: Parenting Stress Index total score, primaryOutcomes measure: Parenting Stress Index total score, secondaryOutcomes measure: Laxness subscale on the Parenting Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Laxness subscale on the Parenting Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Laxness subscale on the Parenting Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Over reactivity subscale on the Parenting scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Over reactivity subscale on the Parenting scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Over reactivity subscale on the Parenting scale, otherOutcomes measure: PTSD Symptom Checklist score, otherOutcomes measure: PTSD Symptom Checklist score, otherOutcomes measure: PTSD Symptom Checklist score, otherOutcomes measure: Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms, otherOutcomes measure: Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms, otherOutcomes measure: Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms, otherOutcomes measure: Total Family Problems Score, otherOutcomes measure: Total Family Problems Score, otherOutcomes measure: Total Family Problems Score, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System, city: Temple, state: Texas, zip: 76504, country: United States, geoPoint lat: 31.09823, lon: -97.34278, hasResults: False
