The Family Check-Up Online: Investigating Patterns of Engagement in a Digital Intervention for Parenting Early Adolescents.
Article in Journal of prevention (2022), 2026. 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
Early adolescence is a critical developmental period, and effective evidence-based parenting interventions during this time are crucial. Traditional parenting interventions are rife with barriers including cost, access, and availability of providers. The use of digital parenting interventions, such as the Family Check-Up (FCU) Online, can provide parents with needed supports and reduce barriers to access. The FCU Online is a flexible parenting intervention involving the development of parent training skills via an app and supplemental family coaching sessions. The intervention was adapted to respond to family-related stressors due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The current study investigated patterns of parent engagement in the FCU Online and their links to family contextual factors and outcomes, with the following questions: (1) What are the rates of parent intervention engagement in the FCU Online coaching and the app? (2) Did parent intervention engagement differ based on individual or contextual factors (e.g., depression, SES)? and (3) Does engagement level in the FCU Online predict differential outcomes for parents and their families six months after intervention enrollment? Two groups for coaching and two groups for the app were created based on n = 74 parents' engagement (Typical or High Engagement). One-Way ANOVA's and MANCOVA's were used to address the second and third research questions, respectively. All parents engaged in the FCU Online intervention. Parents with higher depression and stress, lower parenting confidence, and who had adolescents with more problem behaviors were in the High Engagement group for coaching. No differences in app engagement were found based on contextual factors. Higher coaching engagement predicted improvements in quality time, and higher app engagement predicted reduced parent anxiety. The FCU Online may be successful in maintaining parent engagement, particularly among parents needing more support with depression, stress, parenting confidence, and adolescent problem behaviors. Higher intervention engagement was beneficial for quality time and parent anxiety. This study (R01MH122213-01S1) was registered September 15th, 2020.
