Disseminating online parenting resources through community-academic partnerships.

This community-engaged study aimed to understand effective strategies for disseminating online parenting resources (OPRs) in schools. OPRs were disseminated through seven E-Parenting tips and eight Facebook posts. Facebook posts were viewed a total of 12,404 times, and each post reached an average of 505 people each month. Average engagement rate was 2.41% per post. E-Parenting tips yielded 1514 total clicks, and the average clicks per message was 216.29. E-Parenting tips related to internalizing problems (e.g., anxiety, depression) had a higher click rate than E-Parenting tips related to externalizing problems (e.g., oppositional behavior). OPRs disseminated through Facebook posts, and E-Parenting tips resulted in wide reach and engagement. Different media channels should be utilized to disseminate different OPRs to as many parents as possible.
