Abstract

The MTurk Parent eHealth Preference Survey aimed to examine parents’ preferences for eHealth program features as well as their attitudes and preferences towards three programs: AbilitiCBT, Triple P Online, and BEAM. The data also cover sociodemographic factors, mental illness symptoms, social support, resilience, stressful experiences, medication use, and psychosocial service use. The data (n = 177; United States) were collected through an online cross-sectional self-report survey on MTurk. The primary and processed data are available OSF and have reuse potential for clinical research on parental mental health, methodological research on crowdsourcing for participant recruitment, and for use in statistics courses.
