The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a parent-focused child sexual abuse prevention program (Smart Parents) delivered to parents enrolled in a parent education program (Parents as Teachers; PAT). The main questions the trial aims to answer are:
1. Does PAT + Smart Parents improve parents' CSA-related awareness and protective behaviors compared to PAT as usual? 2. Are potential gains maintained 12- and 24-months post intervention? 3. What parent-, provider-, and organizational-level factors hold promise for future dissemination and implementation efforts?

Has at least one child at home over 12-mo;
Only newly enrolled parents (i.e., parents who have not received more than 3 of the PAT foundational sessions).
Not currently enrolled in PAT;
