The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,544,966 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The goal of this 5-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029, is to test the effectiveness and cost-benefit of a brief, online parenting intervention called Empowered Generations (EGEN) that is delivered to parents referred from primary care clinics. The study design includes two parallel randomized controlled trials - one testing the effectiveness of a brief primary care clinician training program called Support & Guide, and the other evaluating EGEN. The research aims to develop effective referral practices and increase accessibility of parenting programs to prevent childhood behavioral health problems. This project builds on previous feasibility and pilot studies conducted by the University of Minnesota research team.
