This study identifies factors influencing the sustainability of evidence-based parenting programs and explores the relationships and importance of these factors. The findings suggest that organizational support is a key facilitator, positively related to other facilitators and also having an independent positive effect. The perceived usefulness of the program is identified as the most important facilitator at the practitioner level.
Purpose Sustained implementation is required for evidence-based parenting programs to promote children and their families' wellbeing at the societal level. Previous literature has examined the role of a range of different factors in enhancing sustainability. However, the inter-relationship between, and the relative importance of different factors remain largely unknown. The overall aim of this study is to identify predictors of sustained program use, the relative importance of factors, and potential mediation pathways. Methods We surveyed 1202 practitioners who were trained in at least one variant of the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program, at least one and half years before data collection. The present data were linked with data collected during professional training. We first examined the independent effect of each factor on sustained program use, then, developed and evaluated a structural equation model of sustained program use. Results The structural equation model explained a considerable amount of variance in sustained program use, with seven positive predictors and one negative predictor identified. Organisational support was identified as a key facilitator, which was not only positively linked with other facilitators but also had an independent positive effect. Perceived usefulness of the program was the most important practitioner-level facilitator, which might be contributed by both research-based evidence and practice-based evidence. Practitioners' self-regulation in program delivery impacted sustained use by influencing other factors such as perceived usefulness of the program. Conclusion The findings provided insight into factors influencing the sustainability of evidence-based parenting programs which could be used to inform future implementation practice.
