“…Overall, findings of long-term group differences on obesity, health behaviors and blood pressure reinforce earlier demonstrations of the broad range of benefits from behavioral family intervention for children with or at risk for behavior problems [30][31][32][33][34][35][56][57][58][59][60] and are consistent with theoretical models that implicate parenting in the promotion of healthy physical development. Reductions in BMI among overweight Australian children whose parents participated in a treatment program to improve parenting (eg, responsiveness) also provide support for this approach.…”

“…[30][31][32][33][34][35] We expected that study participants were also at risk for obesity and hypothesized that family intervention in early childhood would mitigate this risk, resulting in lower rates of obesity. The current study takes advantage of 2 RCTs with prospective follow-up studies of behavioral outcomes to examine intervention effects on obesity and related health behaviors as high-risk youth approach adolescence.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:The evidence base for obesity prevention is extremely limited. Although minority youth are at higher risk of obesity, and early childhood is a critical period for prevention, only 1 program has demonstrated sustained effects on obesity in young minority children.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Among youth at high risk for obesity based on income, minority status, and child behavior problems, early intervention that promotes effective parenting led to meaningful differences in obesity in preadolescence. Early family intervention is an innovative and promising approach.abstract OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that family intervention to promote effective parenting in early childhood affects obesity in preadolescence.METHODS: Participants were 186 minority youth at risk for behavior problems who enrolled in long-term follow-up studies after random assignment to family intervention or control condition at age 4. Follow-up Study 1 included 40 girls at familial risk for behavior problems; Follow-up Study 2 included 146 boys and girls at risk for behavior problems based on teacher ratings. Family intervention aimed to promote effective parenting and prevent behavior problems during early childhood; it did not focus on physical health. BMI and health behaviors were measured an average of 5 years after intervention in Study 1 and 3 years after intervention in Study 2.RESULTS: Youth randomized to intervention had significantly lower BMI at follow-up relative to controls (Study 1 P = .05; Study 2 P = .006). Clinical impact is evidenced by lower rates of obesity (BMI $95th percentile) among intervention girls and boys relative to controls (Study 2: 24% vs 54%, P = .002). There were significant intervention-control group differences on physical and sedentary activity, blood pressure, and diet.CONCLUSIONS: Two long-term follow-up studies of randomized trials show that relative to controls, youth at risk for behavior problems who received family intervention at age 4 had lower BMI and improved health behaviors as they approached adolescence. Efforts to promote effective parenting and prevent behavior problems early in life may contribute to the reduction of obesity and health disparities.

“…Por ello, los componentes más importantes de estos programas incluyen la interacción positiva padres-hijos, enseñar a los padres a usar el "tiempo fuera", ofrecer reafirmación positiva, enseñar habilidades de comunicación y fijación de reglas. Las habilidades de resistencia social y a los coetáneos, el desarrollo de normas de conducta y buscar la compañía de coetáneos positivos, también se pueden abordar desde un programa universal basado en la familia para la prevención de las toxicodependencias (Lochman y Steenhoven, 2002 (Aalborg et al, 2010;Letarte, Normandeau y Allard, 2010;Redmond et al, 2009;Henggeler y Schoenwald, 2011;Brook, McDonald y Yan, 2012;Donavan, Wood, Frayjo, Black y Surette, 2012), grupos meta (Mindel y Hoefer, 2006;Orte, Touza, Ballester y March, 2008;McDaniel, Braiden, Onyekwelu, Murphy y Regan, 2011;Posthumus, Raaimakers, Maassen, Engeland, y Matthys, 2012;Kumpfer, Whiteside, Greene y Allen, 2010), culturas (Skärstrand, Larsson y Andréasson, 2008;Pérez, et al, 2009;Kumpfer, Xie y O'Driscoll, 2012;Brotman et al, 2009;Ortega, Giannotta, Latina y Ciairano, 2012) y conductas adictivas (Trudeau, Spoth, Randall y Azevedo, 2007;Zhong et al, 2011;Donovan et al, 2012).…”

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...

An experimental test of parenting practices as a mediator of early childhood physical aggression

Abstract: There was support for the hypothesized model of the prevention of physical aggression during early childhood. Intervention benefits on parenting practices partially accounted for intervention effects on physical aggression in young high-risk children.
