Clearly defining and measuring caregiver engagement is a critical first step towards expanding research in this area. This symposium brings together three presentations examining caregiver engagement in varied practice settings. The first presentation reviews the literature on engagement across related fields, and discusses caregiver engagement as a manipulable dependent variable to be explored in future research. The second presentation analyzes utilization of caregiver training insurance codes in the context of clinic-based behavior analytic service delivery, discussing potential reasons for underutilization and recommendations for increasing utilization. The third presentation examines county-level usage data of an online parenting intervention, highlighting several measures of engagement and trends over time. All three presentations will discuss barriers to caregiver engagement, practical recommendations, and future research directions.
