| Abstract |
Despite the effectiveness of parenting interventions in both prevention and intervention with child emotional and behavioural problems, parental participation in evidence-based programmes remains low, limiting the benefit to the population. This research examines a new population parental engagement strategy for parenting programmes using video testimonials via two studies. The first study compared the use of parent versus expert testimonials, against a no testimonial condition on parenting programme evaluations with 70 parents. The second study compared expert testimonials which were framed in a fear or non-fear context, with 73 parents. Results indicated no significant effect of source of testimonial or content of testimonial on parental evaluations of the programme or behavioural outcomes. Trends favoured expert testimonials over parent testimonials. Implications for population level engagement strategies are discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2011.
All research outputs
#14,595,884
of 22,659,164 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Child Health Care
#460
of 597 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,102
of 109,930 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Child Health Care
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,659,164 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 597 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 109,930 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
