Summary

This study tests a 16-week program called KEEP-CK for informal kinship caregivers (like grandparents raising grandchildren) in Oregon. The program offers parenting classes and peer support to improve children's behavior, reduce caregiver stress, and prevent children from entering the foster care system. Researchers will compare families who receive the program right away to those on a waitlist, tracking outcomes for 10 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
KEEP-CK behavioral program (parenting classes and peer support)
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help children in kinship care have fewer behavioral problems and more stable homes, while reducing caregiver stress.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study (192 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires weekly attendance, which may be hard for some families to maintain.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Informal kinship caregivers in Oregon are defined as relatives or fictive kin who are caring for children between the ages of 4 to 18 years outside of the child welfare system with no birth/step parent living in the home. Exclusion Criteria: * Informal kinship caregivers in Oregon who have previously participated in a KEEP or KEEP-CK group, or have a partner living in their home who has previously participated in a KEEP or KEEP-CK group. * Focal child is not between the ages of 4-18 years at the baseline assessment. * Focal child has been adopted by the kinship parent at the baseline assessment. * Focal child is not living with the kinship caregiver full time (e.g., babysitting/weekends/vacations) at the baseline assessment. * Focal child is in child welfare at the baseline assessment. * Focal child is living with the kinship caregiver in a certified foster home at the baseline assessment. * Focal child has a developmental disability or delay that impairs their ability to be responsive to the parenting content of KEEP-CK.
