Abstract
The Parent Satisfaction Questionnaire is a 22-item measure
which assesses parental satisfaction with the Fast Track intervention.
Parents are asked to rate each item along a four-point scale, ranging
from "harmful" (1) to "very helpful" (4). Items coded as "no basis"
(0) were excluded from analyses. Six of the 22 items are open-ended
questions regarding their experiences with Fast Track. The PSQ was
completed by intervention families only, beginning in Year 2 for
Cohorts 2 and 3, and in Year 3 for Cohort 1.
Scaling was derived from the Technical Report generated on Grade
2 data in which seven scales (four of which are individual items)
were designated on an a priori basis. Item 15 was excluded from
scaling. Scales with more than one item were calculated by taking
an average of the items comprising the scale if 50% or more of the
item responses were available. . These scales and items that compose
them are provided below.
- Parent Interventions (Items 1-6)
- Home Visit Intervention (Items 9-11)
- Tutor Intervention (Items 13-14)
- Children's Group Intervention (Item 16)
- PATHS Curriculum Intervention (Item 17)
- Helpfulness with Other Children (Item 19)
- Overall Intervention Satisfaction (Item 18)
The scales on this measure may be used as a gauge of parents' reported
satisfaction with specific aspects of the Fast Track intervention,
as well as with the overall intervention. The ns vary by scale as
a result of not all families receiving all components of the intervention.
Keywords: Program Evaluation, Parent Group, Tutoring, PATHS Curriculum,
