Triple P Online in Prince Edward Island

This study was conducted to engage with parents in Prince Edward Island who have already participated in the parent-education program Triple P Online to get feedback on their experience using the program and the facilitators and barriers they think may influence user experience. A review of the relevant literature shows that online parent education is equally as effective as inperson parenting interventions of the same intensity. However, there are challenges in achieving full program completion. This study examined what facilitators may exist to increase the number of modules completed and the barriers that impact program experience or hinder program completion. This project also obtained Triple P Online users' feedback about their reasons for accessing the program, their satisfaction with various program elements, and their experience parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using an online survey and telephone interviews. A sample of 19 Triple P Online users completed the online survey, four of whom also participated in a telephone interview. Analyses suggested that respondents have a positive opinion of the Triple P Online program, that they see a lack of accessibility to parenting information, that they believe it is important to continue funding Triple P Online, and that they are experiencing increased parenting challenges as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementation of a user experience survey as a standard follow-up tool is suggested as a means of increasing survey response rates so that more can be learned from parents who complete and do not complete Triple P Online modules.
