Refining Parent SMART: User feedback to optimize a multi-modal intervention.
Article in Journal of substance use and addiction treatment, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe continuing care period following residential substance use treatment is a time when adolescents are at especially high risk for relapse, yet few families engage in traditional office-based care. Parent SMART (Substance Misuse among Adolescents in Residential Treatment) is a multi-component continuing care intervention for parents that combines three digital health technologies - an "off the shelf" online parenting program, daily phone notifications, and an online parent networking forum - with support from a parent coach. The current study solicited both qualitative and quantitative user feedback about Parent SMART to ensure responsivity to user preferences, refinement, and continuous improvement of the intervention.
methodsExit interviews were conducted with 30 parents who received Parent SMART, which includes (1) a parent networking forum; (2) daily text messages reminders of skills, (3) an "off-the-shelf" online parenting program; and (4) in-person or telehealth parent coaching sessions. The study collected qualitative feedback using semi-structured interviews and obtained quantitative feedback via a series of ratings of each Parent SMART component on a 5-point Likert scale administered at each follow-up assessment.
resultsQuantitative feedback suggest that parents rated all four elements of Parent SMART as easy to use. Qualitative feedback revealed that parents valued several aspects of Parent SMART including the brevity and structure of the intervention elements, the reminders to use parenting skills, and the sense of social connectedness fostered by different components. Recommended refinements included a number of strategies to enhance personalization and ease of navigation.
conclusionsParent feedback informed enhancements to the Parent SMART intervention prior to implementation in a larger, ongoing pragmatic effectiveness trial. The current study serves as a model for applying a staged person-centered approach and eliciting both quantitative and qualitative feedback to refine digital health technologies.
