Videotape modeling An Evidence-Based Method for Parent Training • Compared to control groups, parent trainings which used VTM can produce significant behavioral change, including: • Reduced child behavior problems • More prosocial behavior • Fewer incidents of spanking • Decreased parental stress • More positive parent-child interactions

  6. Videotape modeling parent training • Initially conceptualized as parent training group • BUT…multiple community barriers! • Now  Individual sessions with parents to train in behavioral management techniques and positive parenting skills • Videotape modeling, didactic presentation, coaching, practice & feedback, training in DBR…

  9. Direct behavior rating • What is a DBR? • • DBR is a tool that involves brief rating of child’s behavior following a specified period of time (e.g., 45-minutes of math group work) • • DBR offers a defensible, flexible, repeatable, and efficient way to gather information about a child’s behavior http://www.directbehaviorrating.com

  10. Direct behavior rating • 4 steps: • Specifying a target behavior • Rating the behavior following a specified observation period • Sharing the obtained information across individuals (e.g., parents, teachers, students) • Using the DBR outcome data to monitor the target behavior over time

  11. Direct behavior rating Academically engaged is actively or passively participating in the classroom activity. Examples: writing, raising hand, answering a question, talking about a lesson, listening to the teacher, reading silently, or looking at instructional materials.

  12. Direct behavior ratings • Brief trainings utilizing practice & feedback to teach parents how to utilize DBR • Parents will be given a laminated, magnetized DBR standard form to hang on fridge DBR ----- -----

  13. Direct behavior ratings • Parents will use DBR to rate teen’s target behaviors following specified time (e.g., family dinner) • Will record DBR via text, email, or BASIS • Will be given tokens as incentives for use in the clinic store

  14. Direct behavior ratings • During “check-in” portion of parent sessions, parents will receive feedback on DBR data, including graphs for visual assessment • DBR will be used to analyze changes in teen behavior over course of treatment
