  1. Social Network/ Online Community Using social media to engage high risk families Dr. Susan m love California state university northridge

  2. Child Maltreatment • Negative developmental trajectory toward emotional, social, and behavioral problems (Cicchetti & Valentino, 2006; Belsky & Jaffee, 2006) • Increased probability of serious adult problems • Antisocial disorder (Loeber, 1998), • Substance abuse disorders (Holmes & Robins, 1988; Mayes and Suchman, 2006), • Subsequent early arrests (Patterson, Reid, & Dishion, 1992), • Physical illnesses throughout life and can lead to early death (Repetti, Taylor & Seeman, 2002) • 1.25 million Children are maltreated, annually, in US; • one child in every 58 (Sedlak et al., 2010) • Financial cost of responding to maltreatment annually in the U.S. is estimated at $103.8 billion (Wang & Holton, 2007)

  3. DIFFICULTY IN REACHING THIS HIGH RISK POPULATION • Less likely to participate in community parenting programs (Sanders, Bor & Morawska, 2007) • More likely to drop out (Turner & Sanders, 2006) • Stigma, “blame and shame” (Corrigan, Watson, and Miller, 2006) • Racism (Hill, 2010) and distrust of professionals (Knott & Donovan, 2010) • Agency barriers--costs of hiring, training, and maintaining EBP professionals (Baggett et al., 2010) • Paucity of EBP in rural communities (Irvine, et al., 1999) • Consumer preferences • MOST: television online programs  written materials  workshops • LEAST: Parenting groups  individual therapist  home visits (Metzler, Sanders, Rusby, & Crowley, in press)

  4. CONVERSATIONS WITH VULNERABLE PARENTS In Los Angeles’ poorest neighborhood, we conducted: • Eleven focus groups (N = 160) of high-risk parents & • Survey on parent’s use of the Internet (N = 238) Parents’ expressed the importance of a sense of community and learning through the experiences of others. In the survey sample,78% of the young, high-poverty, minority parents used the internet regularly. 50% of African American youth are on social media, daily (Pew, 2010) .

  5. Rationale for social media • Young mothers are high utilizers of social media; • High-risk parents are stigmatized and often socially isolated; • Vulnerable populations, may distrust professionals and thus avoid seeking help; • Increased reach and convenience for parents; • Engaged through social rewards i.e. belonging; • Consistent with consumer preference and the ecology of Black and Latino populations in LA

  6. INNOVATIVE SOLUTION:ONLINE COMMUNITY • Invited only, moderated, and based on Online TP’s content and structure • SNS FEATURES: • Portal with personal profile • blogs • discussion threads • reward system based on gaming mechanics • Personalized with (pin) boards
