“…A previous report on the short-term effects of all four programs showed significant improvements on child externalizing behaviors compared with a waitlist control (Stattin et al 2015) The Comet program showed larger effects on externalizing behaviors, as measured by the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI; Eyberg and Pincus 1999), than the other three programs, while children of parents in Connect showed the least improvement. Further, the Comet, Incredible Years and Cope programs, but not Connect, decreased inattention problems significantly compared with a waitlist control, as m e a s u r e d b y t h e S w a n s o n , N o l a n , a n d P e l h a m Questionnaire (SNAP-IV; Swanson 1992).…”

“…The current study was part of a larger randomized controlled trial, The National Effectiveness Trial of Parenting Programs, where four PT programs -Comet, The Incredible Years, Cope and Connect -were evaluated (for a detailed methodological description, see Stattin et al 2015). In addition to the four PT conditions, a self-help condition (reading a book about parent management techniques) and a waitlist condition were included in the trial.…”

“…To assist families, and to make substantive and informed treatment plans, it is important for clinicians to know whether effects are sustained over longer periods of time. The aim of the present study was to report on a 2-year follow-up of the Swedish National Effectiveness Trial of Parenting Programs (Stattin et al 2015), a unique study where four PT programs with different theoretical backgrounds (behavioral and non-behavioral) were compared in a randomized controlled trial.…”

Long-term follow-up studies of selective parent training (PT) programs are scarce, particularly in the case of effectiveness trials conducted within regular care settings. This study evaluated the 2-year effects of 4 programs: Comet, Incredible Years, Cope, and Connect and differences in the rate of change among programs were investigated using Latent Growth Modeling (LGM). Participants were parents who had sought help at 30 local service sector units (e.g., child psychiatric clinics and social services centers) for major problems in managing their children's externalizing behavior. Parents of 749 children (63 % boys) with moderate levels of externalizing behavior, aged 3-12, were randomized to one of the 4 PT programs. Assessments included parent-reported measures of child externalizing, hyperactivity and inattention, as well as parenting practices, sense of competence, and parents' stress and depressive symptoms. At 2-year follow-up, there were no differences in any of the child outcomes among the programs. All programs had reduced externalizing behaviors with large effect sizes (d = 1.21 to d = 1.32), and negative parenting practices with moderate to large effect sizes (d = 0.49 to d = 0.83). LGM analyses showed that the 2 behavioral programs, Comet and Incredible Years, produced more rapid reductions in externalizing behavior during the course of the intervention than the non-behavioral program, Connect. Connect, however, was the only program where children continued to improve after the intervention. Overall, the results indicate that the 4 programs were equally effective in a clinical setting, despite differences in their theoretical origin.

“…En este estudio se confirma que el fomento de las habilidades para desarrollar la parentalidad positiva mejora el bienestar parental, concretamente a través de una reducción del estrés. Otras intervenciones promotoras de parentalidad positiva como la aquí presentada han mostrado resultados similares a nivel internacional (26)(27)(28)(29)(30).…”

Fundamentos: los programas de educación parental, promotores de la parentalidad positiva, reducen el estrés parental. En España y Latinoamérica son escasas las evaluaciones que evidencian dichos efectos y en ningún caso exploran los predictores de éxito. Este estudio analiza los cambios producidos por el “Programa de desarrollo de habilidades parentales para familias” (PHP), basado en la educación parental y promovido por enfermeras comunitarias sobre el estrés parental, e identifica los factores sociodemográficos asociados a una mayor reducción de estrés. Métodos: se recogió información sociodemográfica de 257 participantes, antes de la intervención y de estrés parental antes y después de esta. Se empleó la versión española de Parental Stress Scale. Se aplicaron test no paramétricos y una regresión logística binaria. Resultados: el análisis bivariado identificó reducción del estrés parental para todas las categorías de las variables predictoras. El análisis multivariado mostró que los hombres, las personas con menor nivel de estudios y las desempleadas presentaron mayor probabilidad de reducir el estrés. Conclusiones: el PHP es una intervención efectiva para reducir el estrés parental en diferentes grupos poblacionales. Este estudio contribuye a reforzar los incipientes hallazgos de estudios internacionales, y a dar respuesta al vacío de los países latinos, en cuanto al papel de los determinantes sociales como predictores de la reducción del estrés parental generados por los programas de educación parental.

“…Accordingly, the field needs to move towards comparing multiple parenting programmes in the same research design. To date, there are only two published studies reporting on the effectiveness of multiple evidence-based parenting programmes in one and the same trial (Lindsay and Strand, 2013;Stattin et al, 2015) and only Lindsay and Strand (2013) report on long-term effects. The authors reported medium to large effects of five parenting programmes (Triple P, Incredible Years, Strengthening Families Strengthening Communities, Families and Schools Together and the Strengthening Families Program: 10-14).…”

Purpose – Parenting programmes are seen as feasible and cost-effective in preventing early behavioural problems in children and adolescents. A number of studies have concluded that such programmes are effective in reducing child problem behaviours and improving the skills and well-being of parents. Nevertheless, less is known about long-term programme effects. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – A non-meta-analytic discussion. Findings – Long-term evaluations of parenting programmes suffer from a number of methodological weaknesses resulting in an inability to make robust causal inferences about child and parent outcomes in the longer term. The current evidence is favourable but is likely to be biased by methodological weaknesses. There is a need for more studies of greater methodological strength to obtain conclusive evidence that would guide empirical research, practice and policy. Originality/value – The paper discusses weaknesses in long-term evaluations of parenting programmes and highlights concrete future directions towards improving the quality of study design, evaluation and data analysis.
