Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: 1) promotional brochure plus an attention-control research interview or 2) Package Engagement Package
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief 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.
