Brief summary
The objective of this community-based randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the outcomes of a theory-based parent engagement intervention (i.e., culturally-tailored video) aimed at promoting the participation of Filipino parents and grandparents in an evidence-based preventive parenting intervention.
Detailed description
Data will be obtained using pre and post surveys with self-report instruments and enrollment logs. It is hypothesized that 1) Parents and grandparents in the Intervention Arm will demonstrate greater behavioral outcomes (intention to enroll, actual enrollment, and participation in parenting intervention sessions) than those in the Control Arm. 2) Parents and grandparents in the Intervention Arm will show greater improvements from baseline in parent determinants (knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, benefits, and barriers) compared to the Control Arm. 3) Parents' intention to enroll, and actual enrollment in IY will be predicted by the study arm and parent determinants. This study is expected to have an important impact on the uptake of evidence-based parenting interventions among hard-to-reach populations and holds the promise of eliminating disparities in behavioral health outcomes in this understudied and growing minority population.

Participant flow
Recruitment details
595 participants were assessed for eligibility. Of these participants, 378 were excluded (221 did not meet inclusion criteria, 157 were not interested).
Pre-assignment details
217 participants were initially enrolled (i.e. they were CONSENTED and ASSIGNED to a group). Two participants dropped out before data was collected, which explains the changes from 217 participants who started to 215 participants who completed the study.
