“…International transfers of programmes provide valuable opportunities to examine aspects of implementation, with special regard to the fidelity-adaptation debate (Ferrer-Wreder, Adamson, Kumpfer, & Eichas, 2012). This is because a major factor in the successful transportability of interventions is their adaptability (Castro, Barrera, & Martinez, 2004).…”

This study expands upon the extant prior meta-analytic literature by exploring previously theorised reasons for the failure of school-based, universal social and emotional learning (SEL) programmes to produce expected results. Eighty-nine studies reporting the effects of school-based, universal SEL programmes were examined for differential effects on the basis of: 1) stage of evaluation (efficacy or effectiveness); 2) involvement from the programme developer in the evaluation (led, involved, independent); and 3) whether the programme was implemented in its country of origin (home or away). A range of outcomes were assessed including: social-emotional competence, attitudes towards self, pro-social behaviour, conduct problems, emotional distress, academic achievement and emotional competence. Differential gains across all three factors were shown, although not always in the direction hypothesised. The findings from the current study demonstrate a revised and more complex relationship between identified factors and dictate major new directions for the field.

“…Indeed, Ferrer-Wreder, Adamson, Kumpfer, and Eichas (2012) and Segrott et al (2014) questioned the value of the Swedish SFP 10–14 intervention as a direct replication or even a family EBI at all given the substantial modifications to both content and implementation. By dropping various crucial elements of the intervention, the Swedish team inadvertently conducted a componential analysis selectively culling key ingredients.…”

Strategies to Avoid Replication Failure With Evidence-Based Prevention Interventions: Case Examples From the Strengthening Families Program

Research has found disturbing long-term effects of poor parenting on children's behavioral health including addiction, delinquency, depression/anxiety, and poorer health as adults. Poor parenting practices thus contribute substantially to the health crisis in America. However, skilled, nurturing parents, or caretakers can help youth avoid these developmental problems. A number of family and parenting evidence-based interventions (EBIs) that teach parenting skills are now available for dissemination. Unfortunately, replications of EBIs do not always produce the original positive results. Organizations that seek to use family EBIs to improve parenting and family skills need to avoid practices that create replication failure. We examine several possible factors that contribute to replication failure using examples from five replications of the EBI "Iowa Strengthening Families Program for ages 10-14." We then share six strategies conducive to avoid replication failures including (1) choosing the right program and implementation strategy for the population, (2) administering the right "dosage," (3) choosing and properly training implementers, (4) maintaining program integrity and adherence, (5) ensuring cultural sensitivity, and (6) ensuring accurate and complete reporting of evaluation results. These guidelines can advance prevention science to meet the demands of a growing public health agenda.

“…Although family interventions are effective in preventing drug use initiation, more recently a major amount of interest has been given to focus on specific questions that are relevant to the issue of effectiveness. As so, recent research (Collins, Ready, Griffin, Walker & Mascaro, 2007;Shapiro, Prinz & Sanders, 2008;Letarte et al, 2010;Ocak, 2011;Hutzler, 2011;Ferrer-Wreder, Adamson, & Kumpfer, 2012) has examined how effective programs can bring improvements to the target groups in the real life. As stated by Skärstrand, Bränström, Sundell, Källmén, & Andréasson (2009), "There is a difference in efficacy studies and effectiveness studies.…”

participación parental en intervenciones familiares preventivas de toxicodependencias: una revisión bibliográfica empírica [ 39 ] sips -pedagogia social. revista interuniversitaria [1139-1723 (2013) Jorge NegreirosUniversidad de Oporto RESUMEN: El uso y el abuso de drogas son muy habituales en la adolescencia. Los padres desempeñan un importante papel en el consumo de drogas, tanto incitando a su consumo como fomentando la protección y la resiliencia. Las intervenciones familiares han demostrado ser un enfoque beneficioso en la prevención del consumo adolescente y otras conductas problemáticas de la adolescencia. No obstante, los bajos índices de participación representan una importante amenaza a la validez de las intervenciones familiares preventivas. Desde hace tiempo se viene reconociendo que uno de los principales problemas para la realización de intervenciones familiares es la captación, retención y participación de los progenitores. Aparte de esto, se ha visto que una mayor participación de los padres en las formaciones de prevención para progenitores está asociada a un efecto duradero sobre la conducta adolescente. Identificar específicamente lo que determina que la familia se implique y participe en los programas de prevención familiares es de máxima importancia, puesto que la implicación de los padres puede ser un factor de pronóstico de la eficacia del programa. Últi-mamente se ha prestado más atención a entender de qué manera los factores individuales, contextuales y de intervención pueden predecir la participación parental en las intervenciones familiares de prevención de drogodependencias. Los estudios sobre los factores de pronóstico de participación son útiles para identificar a aquellos individuos que hallan en mayor riesgo de abandonar. En este trabajo ofrecemos un repaso de la evolución más reciente de los diversos factores de pronóstico de la participación familiar en programas preventivos de consumo de drogas y otros problemas. A partir de los determinantes específicos y dinámicos de la participación que se estudian en este trabajo, al final proponemos un marco teórico de la participación familiar que presenta cuatro componentes básicos: (1) patrones de interacción familiar; (2) conocimiento y percepciones de los padres sobre los problemas conductuales de los hijos; (3) variables psicológicas de los hijos; y (4) percepciones de los padres sobre la intervención preventiva.PALABRAS CLAVE: Prevención de consumo de drogodependencias, intervención familiar, factores de pronóstico, participación parental.ABSTRACT: Substance use and misuse are very common in adolescence. Parents play an important part in substance use, both through inducing risk or promoting protection and resilience. Family-based interventions have proven to be a useful approach to prevent adolescent substance use and other youth problem behaviors. However, low participation rates are an important threat to the validity of family-based preventive interventions. It has long been recognized that one of the major problems in imp...
