Adventures in Parenting, an informational booklet published by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, offers five principles that parents can use to develop a mental model of parenting: Responding, Preventing, Monitoring, Mentoring, and Modeling (RPM3). The current study was designed to assess the differential impact of three intervention conditions utilizing Adventures in Parenting on knowledge of RPM3 principles. Significant intervention effects were found for measures of knowledge of RPM3 principles; the more intensive interventions (i.e., face-to-face groups and web-based sessions) were associated with increased knowledge of RPM3 principles over 3 months. Results are discussed in terms of their contribution to new approaches of parent education, particularly the use of web-based training. Editors' Strategic Implications: Parent educators should review the promising findings regarding the RPM3 model. Preventionists, more broadly, may be interested in the effect of the program's delivery mechanism, with a comparison of participants who were randomly assigned to web-based, group-based, and booklet only conditions.
《育儿历险记》是美国国立儿童健康与人类发展研究所出版的一本信息手册，它提出了五条原则，父母可以用这些原则来建立一个育儿的思维模式：回应、预防、监督、指导和示范（RPM3）。本研究旨在评估利用《育儿历险记》的三种干预条件对RPM3原则知识的不同影响。研究发现，在RPM3原则知识的测量方面存在显著的干预效果；更密集的干预（即面对面小组和网络课程）与三个月内RPM3原则知识的增加有关。本文将根据研究结果对家长教育新方法的贡献进行讨论，特别是网络培训的使用。编辑的战略启示：家长教育工作者应审视关于RPM3模式的有前景的研究结果。更广泛地说，预防专家可能会对该项目的实施机制的效果感兴趣，可比较随机分配到网络、小组和仅使用手册条件下的参与者。
