Abstract

Parenting programs aim to help parents and carers enhance their skills and ameliorate infants’ and toddlers’ wellbeing. In Lebanon and other Arab countries, contextualized group-based parenting programs addressing parents’ mental wellbeing, parenting styles, and child development are quite rare. Therefore, a Preventive Parenting Program consisting of 7 sessions has been designed by local experts for the local cultural context. This study aims to assess its effectiveness. Thirty-three sites were identified in Great Beirut: private firms, primary healthcare centers, and child daycares. Sixteen agreed to take part in the study and were randomly assigned to intervention and control arms. From these clusters, 191 mothers of typically developed children younger than three years were recruited to intervention (106) or control (85) groups. The Mental Health Inventory, Caregiver Knowledge about Child Development Inventory, Parent Authority Questionnaire, and a Demographic questionnaire were completed at pre-intervention and post-intervention and 3 months later by both groups of mothers. There were no significant differences between clusters with respect to all scales’ scores at baseline as well as the 2 other data collection points. Despite the positive feedback collected from mothers who attended the sessions, no significant effects were detected. The design of the program, the expected outcomes, and the characteristics of the participants may have contributed to the limited results, hence the need for further research.
