The New Beginnings Podcast: Brief Audio Intervention for Parents From Divorced and Separated Families
Sponsor: Charla Aubrey Rhodes
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if the New Beginnings Podcast can help children whose parents are going through a divorce or separation. The podcast shares parenting strategies that have been shown to help in past in-person and online programs. This study will also look at how easy it is for parents to use the podcast and how helpful they find it. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do parents find the podcast easy to use, helpful, and relevant? 2. Does listening to the podcast improve children's mental health? 3. Does the podcast help parents build stronger relationships with their children and reduce conflict between parents? Researchers will compare families who use the podcast to families on a waitlist to see if the podcast makes a difference. Participants will: 1. Listen to podcast episodes over the course of the study 2. Answer questions about their experiences with the podcast 3. Complete surveys about their child's well-being, their parenting, and family relationships This study will include 80 parents and their children.
