Parent training (PT) programs for parents of preschool-aged children promote effective parenting practices and reduce the risk for the development of child behavior problems. Digital platforms and self-administered formats can expand access to preventive PT and complement traditional behavioral services. Primary care provides an ideal environment to refer patients to prevention-focused PT; however, effective integration of a referral process requires an understanding of implementation facilitators and barriers. The current study is a secondary analysis of facilitators and barriers to the implementation of a referral to ez Parent, a self-administered, digital PT program, in four primary care clinics from the perspective of clinic personnel.
