What will I be asked to do if I take part?
1. Consent to this study
2. You will be asked to enter your email address
You will use your email address to log into the site, your email address
is so we can send a reminder to you to watch the program. We will not use your email
address for any other purpose and it will be kept confidential.
3. You will be asked to complete two short questionnaires
(This should only take about 10 minutes to complete). This will involve asking for
demographic information, such as: What is your relationship to this child: mother,
father etc. Plus a questionnaire regarding your child�s behaviour for example: "How
often does this occur with your child - has temper tantrums (never - always)?"
4. You will be given details of how to enrol, and asked if you are going to continue
with the study
5. Log on to watch 4 online clips of a parent training programme
6. Follow up questionnaires
Following the intervention period participants who enrol on the programme will receive
an email asking them to complete the follow up questionnaire. Participants who do
not continue with the online intervention will receive an email asking for their
reasons for not enrolling. E.g. "Thank you for showing an interest in the online
parenting programme. To help with our research please could you provide some details
of why you did not continue with the online parenting programme"?
Will my taking part in this study be kept confidential?
Yes You will be given a log in number to use when you are completing your questionnaire
and computer based task to ensure anonymity. Any emails that are sent will be sent
automatically via the computer to ensure specific individuals do not have access
to your email address and therefore ensure that you can not be identified. Furthermore,
any identifiable information will be kept separate from the information given on
the questionnaire.
Do I have to take part?
No
If you decide to take part and then later change your mind, either before you start
the study or during it, you can withdraw without giving your reasons. Furthermore,
if the questionnaires contain information you do not wish to disclose you are under
no obligation to do this and therefore can omit specific answers.
Are there possible disadvantages and risks of taking part?
No
As far as we know, there are no disadvantages or risks of taking part?
