DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Divorce is a serious public health problem. Over 50% of marriages end in divorce, generating family stressors that contribute to maladaptive child adjustment. Despite parents' key role in protecting children, many are ill prepared for the task. The evidence is clear that providing parents with quality divorce parent education can mitigate the negative effects on children. Unfortunately, available programs are insufficient: most do not target the key variables known to buffer effects on children, and most are not skill-based. Moreover, nearly 60% of programs take place in one session, and many are inaccessible to fathers. There is a need for accessible, durable, theoretically sound, skill-based training for parents. The central aim of this project is to create an innovative program uniquely tailored to meet the needs of mothers and fathers during the divorce transition. If the aims were are achieved, the program will provide a resilience resource to bolster parental factors known to moderate the effects of risk factors on child outcomes, thus filling a significant public health need. The complete Phase I and II program will be an accessible, menu-driven, interactive eDVD curriculum containing media-led lessons with engaging, realistic vignettes; skill-building exercises and information for both self-instructional and group delivery. The program will also include a website containing the video training, a managed web community for parents to share experiences, and links to resources on the World Wide Web. During Phase I, we will obtain feedback from divorcing parents, the professionals who work with them, and our program consultants to develop the first program module, and set up a web community room. We will evaluate feasibility of the program by conducting pilot interventions with separate groups of mothers and fathers, and establishing the acceptability of the program among relevant professionals.

描述（由申请人提供）：离婚是一个严重的公共卫生问题。超过 50% 的婚姻以离婚告终，产生的家庭压力会导致儿童适应不良。尽管父母在保护儿童方面发挥着关键作用，但许多人对此任务准备不足。证据很清楚，为父母提供优质的离婚父母教育可以减轻对孩子的负面影响。不幸的是，可用的计划不足：大多数计划并不针对已知的缓冲对儿童影响的关键变量，而且大多数计划不是基于技能的。此外，近 60% 的课程都是在一次课程中进行的，而且许多课程对于父亲来说是无法参加的。家长需要接受方便、持久、理论合理、基于技能的培训。该项目的中心目标是创建一个专门定制的创新计划，以满足离婚过渡期间父母的需求。如果目标实现，该计划将提供弹性资源，以增强已知的父母因素，以减轻风险因素对儿童结局的影响，从而满足重大的公共卫生需求。完整的第一阶段和第二阶段计划将是一个易于访问、菜单驱动、交互式 eDVD 课程，其中包含媒体主导的课程以及引人入胜、逼真的小插曲；用于自学和小组交付的技能培养练习和信息。该计划还将包括一个包含视频培训的网站、一个可供家长分享经验的托管网络社区以及万维网上资源的链接。在第一阶段，我们将收集离婚父母、与他们一起工作的专业人士以及我们的项目顾问的反馈，以开发第一个项目模块，并建立一个网络社区室。我们将通过对不同的母亲和父亲群体进行试点干预来评估该计划的可行性，并建立相关专业人士对该计划的可接受性。
