Summary
The UpStart Parent Survey is a new, brief evaluation tool developed to measure common outcomes expected to result from participation in prevention-focused parenting programs (P-FPPs). The purposes of this short-term project, Building Safe Communities from the Start, were to (1) examine the psychometric properties of the UpStart Parent Survey, (2) determine the feasibility of using the UpStart Parent Survey in P-FPPs, and (3) examine the effectiveness of P-FPPs using the UpStart Parent Survey.
