Abstract(s)
During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns made it impossible for
parenting coaches to reach the families without digital means of
communication. Several studies were initiated to transform existing
parenting interventions into hybrid or fully online versions and to
examine their feasibility, acceptability and efficacy. We present one
such transformation in detail, the Virtual-VIPP which is based on
Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and
Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD). Furthermore, we report a systematic
review of 17 published trials with online versions of parenting
programs. Overall, online parenting interventions seem feasible to
implement, are well-received by most families, and to show equivalent effects to face-to-face approaches. Careful preparation of technicalities and monitoring of fidelity are prerequisites. Advantages of
online parenting interventions are their potentially broader reach,
more detailed process documentation, and better cost-utility balance. We expect that online parenting interventions are here to stay, but their efficacy needs to be rigorously tested.
