Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Smartphone App without Video Self-Scoring FunctionalityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this condition, after parents video-record their delivery of the intervention, they watch their own video but do not score their performance.
Group II: Smartphone App with Video Self-Scoring FunctionalityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this condition, after parents video-record their delivery of the intervention, they watch their video and are taught to score their own performance/fidelity through question prompts built into the app. When they are finished, the app will offer feedback and follow-up lessons based on the PRT strategies they have not demonstrated consistently.
