Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Parenting skills: EFB-K (Parenting Scale, short form), original version by Arnold, Leary, Wolff, and Acker (1993), German short version by Miller (2001). Our own Arabic translation based on the German short version. A three-item version of the scale with adjusted wording for the daily assessment in the EMA study will be used. The reliability and validity of the translated EMA version have been tested in a previous pilot study. Items are rated on a seven-point bipolar scale (labels: 3-2-1-0-1-2-3). The endpoints describe either effective or ineffective forms of specific parental behavior. The scale labels will be transformed to values from 1 to 7, where higher values indicate more unfavorable parental behavior. All endpoints will be recorded pre (T0) and post (T1) and at 6- (T2) and 12-month follow-up (T3). | — |

| Secondary outcomes cover mental health and well-being of parents and children and will be assessed with the following scales: - PSOC (Parenting Sense of Competence): The original version was developed by Gibaud-Wallston and Wandersman (1978) for the parents of infants and adapted by Johnston & Mash (1989) for parents of older children. German version by Miller (2001), Arabic version by Kabiyea and Manor-Binyamini (2019). A short version of the scale with adjusted wording for the daily assessment in the EMA study will be used, with two items for the subscale satisfaction and efficacy. The reliability and validity of the translated EMA version have been tested in a previous pilot study. Items are rated on a six-point scale (1 = “Strongly Disagree”, 6 = “Strongly Agree”). A higher score indicates a higher parenting sense of competence. - DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale): Original version by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995), German short version by Nilges and Essau (2015), Arabic version by Moussa, Lovibond, Laube, and Megahead (2017). The scale assesses the subscales depression, anxiety, and stress. A short version of the scale will be used, with three items for each subscale. Items are rated on a four-point scale (0 = “did not apply to me at all”, 3 = “applied to me very much, or most of the time”). The scale labels will be transformed to values from 1 to 4, where higher values indicate more frequent experiences of depression/anxiety/stress. - PMH (Positive Mental Health): The English and German versions were developed in the current form by Lukat, Margraf, Lutz, van der Veld, and Becker (2016), the Arabic translation was conducted by us. A three item version of the scale with adjusted wording for the daily assessment in the EMA study will be used. The reliability and validity of the translated EMA version have been tested in a previous pilot study. Items are rated on a four-point scale (0 = “Do not agree”, 3 = “agree”). The scale labels will be transform | — |
