Participant Flow

Parents were recruited using Qualtrics, a leading-edge sample acquisition technology. To be eligible, parents had to be divorced, separated but never married, divorcing or separating, have one or more child between six and eighteen, speak English, spend at least three hours a week or at least one overnight every other week with their child(ren), and have access to a computer or a smart phone. Recruitment and assessment period was from Feb. 15, 2020 through August 31, 2021.

Participants were randomly assigned to groups after completing an online pre-test assessment.

Online New Beginnings Program (eNBP)
Online New Beginnings Program (eNBP): The eNBP is a five-hour, asynchronous, fully web-based adaptation of the group-based NBP that can be used on a smart phone, tablet or computer. Separate versions for fathers and mothers consist of the same didactic content and interactive exercises, with gender appropriate references, testimonials and video skills demonstrations.
Wait-list Control Condition
Parents in the waitlist-control condition were told that they would have access to the eNBP 15 weeks after they completed the pre-test. Fifteen weeks after assignment to condition, parents and children were sent links to the posttest

Online New Beginnings Program (eNBP)
n=59 Participants
The eNBP is a five-hour, asynchronous, fully web-based adaptation of the group NBP. Separate versions for fathers and mothers consist of the same didactic content and interactive exercises, with gender appropriate references, testimonials and video skills demonstrations. Units are highly interactive. Sessions began with a check-in in which parents responded to questions about use of the program skills and were provided with ways to address the challenges they experienced. The skill was then taught using modeling videos, interactive exercises, and testimonials from prior participants. The program then prompted parents to set times to use the skill, identify barriers to using it and select strategies to reduce these barriers. Parents were provided with tip sheets to address challenges in using the skill, downloadable sheets to record use of and competence in using the skill and a downloadable handbook that summarized what was covered in the unit.

The eNBP is a five-hour, asynchronous, fully web-based adaptation of the group NBP. Separate versions for fathers and mothers consist of the same didactic content and interactive exercises, with gender appropriate references, testimonials and video skills demonstrations. Units are highly interactive. Sessions began with a check-in in which parents responded to questions about use of the program skills and were provided with ways to address the challenges they experienced. The skill was then taught using modeling videos, interactive exercises, and testimonials from prior participants. The program then prompted parents to set times to use the skill, identify barriers to using it and select strategies to reduce these barriers. Parents were provided with tip sheets to address challenges in using the skill, downloadable sheets to record use of and competence in using the skill and a downloadable handbook that summarized what was covered in the unit.
