This study focused on the underlying mechanisms of change and examined whether program quality, in terms of therapeutic persuasiveness, influences the way program participation translates into outcomes in digital parent training programs targeting child behavior problems. Data were obtained from a randomized controlled trial of two digital parent training programs with different levels of therapeutic persuasiveness quality. When parental self-efficacy and overreactivity were used as mediators of improvements in child behavior, mediation analysis revealed significant indirect effects among the enhanced therapeutic persuasiveness intervention users (n = 39), but not among the standard intervention users (n = 33; indirect effect medians = 18.30 and 2.29, respectively). These findings highlight the need to address an intervention's quality in terms of its design features when examining the pathways through which it produces behavioral change. Highlights: We examined whether program quality (i.e., features that encourage users to make a positive change) influences mechanisms of change. Data from a randomized controlled trial comparing two digital parent training programs aimed at addressing children's behavior problems was analyzed. The analysis revealed significant indirect effects in users of the enhanced quality program, but not in those using the standard program. Study findings highlight the importance of considering program quality when examining mechanisms of change. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
