Participation rates in parenting programs are typically low, severely limiting the public health significance of these interventions. We examined predictors of parenting program enrollment and retention in a sample of 325 divorced mothers. Predictors included intervention timing and maternal reports of child, parent, family, and sociocultural risk factors. In multivariate analyses, child maladjustment and family income-to-needs positively predicted enrollment, and higher maternal education and recruitment near the time of the divorce predicted retention. Findings have implications for the optimal timing of preventive parenting programs for divorcing families and point to the importance of examining predictors of enrollment and retention simultaneously. Editors' Strategic Implications: parent education researchers and practitioners may find the authors' application of the Health Belief Model to be a useful organizing framework for improving engagement and retention.
育儿项目的参与率通常较低，这严重限制了这些干预措施对公共卫生的重要性。我们在325名离异母亲的样本中研究了育儿项目注册和留存的预测因素。预测因素包括干预时机以及母亲对孩子、自身、家庭和社会文化风险因素的报告。在多变量分析中，孩子适应不良和家庭收入需求比能积极预测注册情况，而母亲受教育程度较高以及在离婚前后招募则能预测留存情况。研究结果对离婚家庭预防性育儿项目的最佳时机具有启示意义，并指出同时考察注册和留存预测因素的重要性。编辑的战略启示：家长教育研究人员和从业者可能会发现作者对健康信念模型的应用是一个有用的组织框架，有助于提高参与度和留存率。
