“…This design was used to ensure that all families would eventually receive ABC, consistent with Power of Two's goal of disseminating ABC to the community. Waitlist control research designs are common in community-based intervention effectiveness studies (e.g., Caserta et al, 2018; Singla, Kumbakumba, & Aboud, 2015). Nonetheless, future studies should examine ABC efficacy as compared with other evidence-supported parenting interventions, such as Child–Parent Psychotherapy, Parent–Child Interaction Therapy, the Positive Parenting Program, or the Nurse Family Partnership.…”

Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) demonstrates efficacy in improving parent and child outcomes, with preliminary evidence for effectiveness in community settings. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a community-based ABC implementation in improving parent outcomes as well as to examine potential mediators and moderators of intervention effectiveness. Two hundred parents and their 5- to 21-month-old infants recruited from an urban community were randomly assigned to receive ABC or be placed on a waitlist. The majority of participants had a minority racial or ethnic background. Before intervention, parents completed questionnaires about sociodemographic risk and adverse childhood experiences. At both baseline and follow-up, parents reported depression symptoms and were video-recorded interacting with their infant, which was coded for sensitivity. The ABC intervention predicted significant increases in parental sensitivity and, among parents who completed the intervention, significant decreases in depression symptoms. Changes in parental depression symptoms did not significantly mediate the intervention effects on sensitivity. Risk variables did not moderate the intervention effects. The results indicate that ABC shows promise for improving parent outcomes in community settings, supporting dissemination.

“…(2012) and Caserta et al. (2018) evaluated the efficacy of the Coaching Our Acting‐out Children: Heightening Essential Skills program for improving fathers' use of evidence‐based behavior management techniques for preschool and elementary school children diagnosed with, or at risk for developing Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Results of these studies indicated that fathers who received group‐based BST increased praise and decreased use of negative comments with concomitant decreases in children's frequency of problem behavior as rated by the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (Eyberg & Pincus, 1999).…”

“…Group‐based BST has the potential to serve as an effective training modality that is efficient because multiple individuals can be trained at the same time (O'Handley et al., 2017). However, there is limited research evaluating group‐based BST, with even less research that explicitly programmed to ensure that individuals trained maintained their use of behavior management techniques over time (e.g., Caserta et al., 2018; Hassan et al., 2018).…”

Group‐based behavioral skills training to promote effective instruction delivery for children with autism spectrum disorder

Children with autism spectrum disorder are at increased risk for noncompliance with parent instructions and subsequent disruptive behaviors. Effective instruction delivery is an antecedent‐based strategy designed to prevent noncompliance with parent instructions and given its components, may be especially useful for promoting compliance in children with autism. However, long wait times for behavioral parent training could lead to increased severity of behavioral difficulties prior to receiving services. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of group‐based behavioral skills training for increasing effective instruction delivery with their children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Results indicated improved use of effective instruction delivery with concomitant improvements in children's response to parent instructions. Results, implications, and future directions are discussed.

“…The program has demonstrated positive outcomes for fathers of children with ADHD relative to a waitlist (e.g., Fabiano et al, 2012) and relative to typical parenting programs (Fabiano et al, 2009). Recent adaptations have illustrated positive effects in preschools as an afterschool program to promote father engagement (Caserta et al, 2018) and as an approach to promote shared book-reading between fathers and children (Chacko et al, 2018). Samples 2 and 3 also included fathers who were assigned to a traditional group parent training class that did not include the shared sports activity (e.g., Cunningham et al, 1998).…”

Behavioral parent training programs are evidence-based treatment for children with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), yet attendance in such programs is variable. Relative to mothers of children with ADHD, far less is known about fathers and what predicts their attendance in treatment. The current study aimed to explore predictors of father (N = 171) attendance using data from four studies that tested the efficacy of behavioral parent training programs aimed specifically at fathers. A hierarchical regression was performed to test four potential predictors of attendance, including father race/ethnicity, father education level, child medication status, and father ratings of the child's oppositional defiant disorder symptoms. Father education level was determined to be a significant predictor of attendance, whereas father race/ethnicity, child medication status, and father ratings of the child's ODD behavior were not. The results suggest that future parent training interventions may need to be adapted to improve attendance from fathers of lower education levels.
