Both individual and environmental factors predict externalizing behaviors and substance use (EB-SU); however, different patterns of interaction among these factors may have different implications. This review first examines how temperament and the family environment interact in the prediction of adolescent EB-SU. Second, studies are reviewed according to two theoretical models: (1) diathesis-stress, i.e., certain individual characteristics are linked to vulnerability and later problems in adverse environments; (2) differential susceptibility, i.e., these characteristics are linked to susceptibility, predicting problems in adverse environments, but also better than average outcomes in good environments. Fourteen studies focusing on the prediction of EB-SU at ages 12-18 were selected through a literature search. Results showed that certain temperament traits (high levels of impulsivity and disinhibition; low levels of effortful control, negative affect, fearfulness and shyness), hereby designated as "adventurous" disposition, were associated with higher levels of EB-SU in adverse family environments. Some studies also showed that children with "adventurous" temperament traits in positive environments had the lowest levels of EB-SU. This suggests that prevention of EB-SU might target family factors such as parenting and focus on children with "adventurous" temperament traits. Further, studies that supported the differential susceptibility model were those assessing temperament and the family environment in childhood and studies that supported the diathesis-stress model assessed these variables in adolescence. It is thus possible that some of these "adventurous" temperament traits, with regard to EB-SU, would be indicators of susceptibility to both enriched and adverse environments in childhood but no CIHR Author ManuscriptCIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript longer in adolescence, when they would only be indicators of vulnerability to adverse environments. KeywordsDiathesis-stress; Differential susceptibility; Temperament; Family; Externalizing; Moderation Adolescent substance use has several adverse short-and long-term consequences, including addiction, poor academic achievement, sleep disturbances, depression, suicidal behavior, injuries, overdoses, car accidents, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and liver disease (Newbury-Birch et al., 2009;Single, Rehm, Robson, & Van Truong, 2000;Stolle, Sack, & Thomasius, 2009). Correlates of substance use in adolescence include both individual and environmental characteristics (Chartier, Hesselbrock, & Hesselbrock, 2010;Patrick & Schulenberg, 2013). While internalizing problems are more strongly associated with substance use in adulthood (Chan, Dennis, & Funk, 2008;Grant et al., 2004;King, Iacono, & McGue, 2004), a history of externalizing behaviors beginning in early childhood is more likely to be observed in adolescents using substances (Chan et al., 2008;Jester et al., 2008;Pingault et al., 2013;Zucker, Heitzeg, & Nigg, 2011).

BackgroundChild maltreatment is a substantial social problem that affects large numbers of children and young people in the UK, resulting in a range of significant short- and long-term psychosocial problems.ObjectivesTo synthesise evidence of the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and acceptability of interventions addressing the adverse consequences of child maltreatment.Study designFor effectiveness, we included any controlled study. Other study designs were considered for economic decision modelling. For acceptability, we included any study that asked participants for their views.ParticipantsChildren and young people up to 24 years 11 months, who had experienced maltreatment before the age of 17 years 11 months.InterventionsAny psychosocial intervention provided in any setting aiming to address the consequences of maltreatment.Main outcome measuresPsychological distress [particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety, and self-harm], behaviour, social functioning, quality of life and acceptability.MethodsYoung Persons and Professional Advisory Groups guided the project, which was conducted in accordance with Cochrane Collaboration and NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination guidance. Departures from the published protocol were recorded and explained. Meta-analyses and cost-effectiveness analyses of available data were undertaken where possible.ResultsWe identified 198 effectiveness studies (including 62 randomised trials); six economic evaluations (five using trial data and one decision-analytic model); and 73 studies investigating treatment acceptability. Pooled data on cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) for sexual abuse suggested post-treatment reductions in PTSD [standardised mean difference (SMD) –0.44 (95% CI –4.43 to –1.53)], depression [mean difference –2.83 (95% CI –4.53 to –1.13)] and anxiety [SMD –0.23 (95% CI –0.03 to –0.42)]. No differences were observed for post-treatment sexualised behaviour, externalising behaviour, behaviour management skills of parents, or parental support to the child. Findings from attachment-focused interventions suggested improvements in secure attachment [odds ratio 0.14 (95% CI 0.03 to 0.70)] and reductions in disorganised behaviour [SMD 0.23 (95% CI 0.13 to 0.42)], but no differences in avoidant attachment or externalising behaviour. Few studies addressed the role of caregivers, or the impact of the therapist–child relationship. Economic evaluations suffered methodological limitations and provided conflicting results. As a result, decision-analytic modelling was not possible, but cost-effectiveness analysis using effectiveness data from meta-analyses was undertaken for the most promising intervention: CBT for sexual abuse. Analyses of the cost-effectiveness of CBT were limited by the lack of cost data beyond the cost of CBT itself.ConclusionsIt is not possible to draw firm conclusions about which interventions are effective for children with different maltreatment profiles, which are of no benefit or are harmful, and which factors encourage people to seek therapy, accept the offer of therapy and actively engage with therapy. Little is known about the cost-effectiveness of alternative interventions.LimitationsStudies were largely conducted outside the UK. The heterogeneity of outcomes and measures seriously impacted on the ability to conduct meta-analyses.Future workStudies are needed that assess the effectiveness of interventions within a UK context, which address the wider effects of maltreatment, as well as specific clinical outcomes.Study registrationThis study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42013003889.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme.

“…The Positive Parenting Questionnaire (PPQ) is a 13-item measure that is based on the Parenting Practise Scale (Strayhorn & Weidman, 1988). Positive, supporting and reinforcing parenting behaviors are assessed on a 4-point scale (0= "never" to 3 = "very often").…”

Enhancing positive development of children: Effects of a multilevel randomized controlled intervention on parenting and child problem behavior

et al. 2011

Parent-oriented and school-oriented programs that aim to improve child behavior and mental health are well established, few studies focus on the possibility of additional benefits arising from a combined intervention. This study uses a randomized control trial and assesses whether the combination of two standardized evidence-based intervention programs, Triple P (a self-directed parent-oriented intervention that focuses on strengthening parenting skills) and Fit and Strong for Life (a school-based intervention that focuses on stress management skills for children), was more likely to improve parenting and child behavior compared to either program alone and to a no-treatment control group. Data including pre-and post-test measures, as well as four-month follow-up data, were obtained from 78 teachers and 745 parents. Using linear mixed models, results showed that parents in the self-directed Triple P condition engaged in less negative parenting behavior, more positive parenting strategies, scored lower on stress, and reported more parental self-efficacy at post-test. The effects remained at the four-month follow-up. Additionally, after treatment parents in the Triple P condition observed less behavioral problems in their child (although teachers did not). The Fit and Strong for Life intervention yielded no effects in respect to child problem behavior. Last, there was no additional benefit of the combined intervention group above that found for Triple P. This study encourages the utility, practicality, and efficacy of the self-directed Triple P Program and illustrates its effectiveness on positive parenting skills and problem child behavior.
