What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the CDC's Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers program, a free online resource designed to support parents of young children. The team at NYU is working to identify ways to increase parental engagement with the program, which is crucial for improving parenting skills. By using a structured approach called the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), the researchers aim to add effective elements to the program that will help parents better utilize the available resources. The ultimate goal is to ensure that more families can benefit from evidence-based parenting strategies.

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are parents or caregivers of children aged 0-11 years who are seeking support in their parenting practices.
Not a fit: Parents of children outside the age range of 0-11 years may not receive benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved parenting skills and better outcomes for children in their early years.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in optimizing online parenting interventions, indicating that this approach could be effective.
