Harnessing innovative technologies to advance children's mental health: Behavioral parent training as an example
چکیده انگلیسی

Disruptive behaviors of childhood are among the most common reasons for referral of children to mental health professionals. Behavioral parent training (BPT) is the most efficacious intervention for these problem behaviors, yet BPT is substantially underutilized beyond university research and clinic settings. With the aim of addressing this research-to-practice gap, this article highlights the considerable, but largely unrealized, potential for technology to overcome the two most pressing challenges hindering the diffusion of BPT: (1). The dearth of BPT training and supervision opportunities for therapists who work with families of children with disruptive behaviors; and (2). The failure to engage and retain families in BPT services when services are available. To this end, this review presents a theoretical framework to guide technological innovations in BPT and highlights examples of how technology is currently being harnessed to overcome these challenges. This review also discusses recommendations for using technology as a delivery vehicle to further advance the field of BPT and the potential implications of technological innovations in BPT for other areas of children's mental health are discussed.


► We review the role of technology in the diffusion of behavioral parent training.
► We highlight the successes, core elements, and challenges of BPT programs.
► We provide examples of current uses of technology for training and engagement.
► We suggest opportunities for technology to further facilitate the diffusion of BPT.
► We discuss the use of technology in BPT as a model for other treatments.
