Summary

This trial will test an online parenting program called Parenting in the Moment (PIM) for parents who have experienced forced displacement. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in improving parenting skills

Who is the study for?
This trial is for families who have been forcibly displaced within the last 10 years and are now in the USA. It's specifically for parents of school-aged children who speak English, Spanish, Arabic, or French. One parent and one child from each family can join. Families already using a similar online parenting program cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests an online parenting program called Parenting in the Moment (PIM) to see if it helps improve skills for parents with forced migration backgrounds. Half of the participating families will use PIM while the other half will receive a resource list only as a control group.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is not a medical intervention, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing personal experiences or trauma during surveys and tasks.
