Problem Low enrollment and participation are common in face‐to‐face parenting interventions. Developing innovative delivery methods is one way to address participation barriers. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of a Web‐based delivery model for an evidence‐based behavioral parent training program. Methods Parents ( n = 9) completed two Web‐based prototype sessions of the C hicago P arent P rogram delivered on an Android tablet over 2 weeks, and then participated in a post‐intervention focus group. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Findings The Web‐based delivery adaptation was feasible and useful for low‐income urban parents. Conclusions Our preliminary findings suggest that Web‐based delivery is a feasible approach to integrating mental health prevention into systems of care. Translating interventions to alternative delivery platforms is promising for nursing to increase access to evidence‐based interventions.
