Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Based on findings from our prior trials with parents of children with learning and attentional disabilities and parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (Kuhlthau et al., 2020; Park et al., 2020; IRB approved: #:2016P001622 and 2016P002037 respectively), the investigators propose to pilot test and refine the adapted resiliency intervention (SMART-3RP) among fathers of children with special health care needs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open pilot study. Based on Phase I findings (IRB #2021P002838), the investigators propose to enroll up to 12 fathers (in 2 groups) of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) in the adapted SMART-3RP intervention. The SMART-3RP is an 8-session mind-body resiliency intervention that will be conducted virtually. Participants will complete the study survey at baseline and immediately following the intervention. As this is a pilot, participants will also be asked to provide weekly feedback on program sessions and participate in an exit interview following the intervention. The intervention may be iteratively modified as the investigators receive feedback from participants.
