“…This policy is in line with the recommendations of a recent meta-analysis of crime prevention programs, which emphasize the importance of a multimodal approach in which both proximal (individual) and distal (community level) risk factors are addressed (Deković, Slagt, Asscher, Eichelsheim, & Prinzie, 2011).…”

Interprofessional collaboration has been described both as an opportunity to meet the demands of a complex society, but also as a potential threat to professional autonomy. Interprofessional relationships are central in collaborative efforts, and there is a need to investigate the psychosocial processes involved. In the present study, we have investigated how professionals in a collaborative effort perceive collaboration, and how these perceptions are organized. We have used an adaptation of the Perception of Interprofessional Collaboration Model Questionnaire-PINCOM-Q-to develop and test a model of collaboration perceptions in a sample of professionals working within local crime prevention at the community level. Using a confirmatory factor analysis approach, we have found support for a three-dimensional conceptualisation of how interprofessional collaboration is perceived. We have labelled the dimensions in the model as follows: Group Climate, Influence, and Personal Motivation. Our results implicate that the development of interprofessional collaboration should emphasize supportive group communication, an equal distribution of group influence, and finally, a personal value outcome gained from participating in the collaboration.

“…Our finding that the effects of Incredible Years on improved parenting and child behavior were not influenced by families' socioeconomic and ethnic background adds to the growing body of evidence on the effectiveness of parenting interventions across families from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds (e.g., Deković et al, 2011;Leijten et al, 2013;Shelleby & Shaw, 2013). More specifically, the cultural sensitive character of Incredible Years may contribute to the program's effectiveness across families with different backgrounds.…”

“…Despite consensus on the need to engage families with socioeconomically disadvantaged and ethnic minority backgrounds in early intervention programs, these families appear to be hard to reach for parenting interventions in most European countries and North America. Once engaged in parenting interventions, meta-analytic findings are inconsistent about the extent to which families with socioeconomic disadvantage benefit less (e.g., Lundahl, Risser, & Lovejoy, 2006;Reyno & McGrath, 2006), less lasting (Leijten, Raaijmakers, Orobio de Castro, & Matthys, 2013), or more (Deković et al, 2011) from parenting interventions. Ethnic minority parents who have relatively recent immigration experiences often face difficulties with language and culture differences.…”

Families with socioeconomically disadvantaged and ethnic minority backgrounds are often hard to reach for the prevention and treatment of disruptive child behavior problems. We examined whether the Incredible Years parenting intervention can successfully reach and benefit families with socioeconomic disadvantaged and ethnic minority backgrounds in the Netherlands. One hundred fifty-four families from a wide range of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds were recruited in an outpatient clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry and in elementary schools serving deprived neighborhoods. Families were randomly assigned to the BASIC Incredible Years parenting intervention or a waiting list control condition. Children were 3-8 years old (M = 5.59, SD = 1.35; 62% boys, 66% ethnic minorities) and 65% of the children met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.) criteria for oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and/or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Incredible Years reduced parent-reported disruptive child behavior and teacher-reported hyperactive and inattentive child behavior and increased parent-reported use of praise and incentives and reduced harsh and inconsistent discipline. Incredible Years did not affect parent-reported hyperactive and inattentive child behavior; teacher-reported child conduct problems; and parent-reported use of appropriate discipline techniques, clear expectations, physical punishment, and parenting stress. Of importance, the effectiveness of Incredible Years did not differ across families with different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Effects were maintained at 3-month follow-up. This study shows that socioeconomically disadvantaged and ethnic minority families in disadvantaged neighborhoods can be engaged in and benefit from parenting interventions to reduce disruptive child behavior.

“…Family Stress Theory highlights the indirect impact of financial strain on children through parental stress and associated compromises in parenting (see Conger & Donnellan, 2007, for a review). Accordingly, low-income families are not only more vulnerable to disruptions in caregiver (e.g., parental stress, depression, emotion dysregulation) and family (e.g., parent-child and marital conflict) functioning implicated in the development and exacerbation of maladaptive child behavior (see Dekovic et al, 2011; Jones et al, 2013; Lundahl, Risser, & Lovejoy, 2006; Piquero, Farrington, Welsh, Tremblay, & Jennings, 2009, for reviews), but that these factors also interfere with treatment seeking and engagement (see Eyberg, Nelson, & Boggs, 2008; McMahon & Forehand, 2003; Reyno & McGrath, 2006; Thomas & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007, for reviews).…”

“…Data suggest that if we successfully engage low-income families in Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) services, they benefit as much, if not more, than relatively higher income families, particularly at post-treatment and when the problem behaviors are in the clinical range (see Dekovic et al, 2011; Leijten, Raaijmakers, de Castro, & Matthys, 2013; Reyno & McGrath, 2006, for reviews). Financial strain and associated difficulties (e.g., poor mental/physical health, un/underemployment, lack of health insurance/underinsured), however, decrease the probability that low-income families will engage at a level necessary for BPT to be efficacious (e.g., 12 to 28 session hours, midweek telephone check-ins, daily home practice; see Eyberg, Nelson, & Boggs, 2008; McMahon & Forehand, 2003; Reyno & McGrath, 2006; Thomas & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007).…”

Children have been particularly vulnerable to the economic challenges of the past decade, with half (45 to 51%) of children under the age of 18 living in a low-income home and nearly 22% of those living in poverty. Low-income children are overrepresented in a range of statistics on psychosocial maladjustment issues, but their families are less likely than other socioeconomic groups to participate in mental health services and intervention research. Thus, this review asserts that substantive advances in mental health services and intervention research with low income families must move beyond a between-group, deficit-focused perspective to a more nuanced contemplation of how to: 1) Operationalize the “income” in low-income families; 2) Disentangle the interrelationship of low income, race, and ethnicity; and 3) Optimize recruitment, engagement and retention efforts via sensitivity to the culture of low-income status. Examples of mental health services and intervention research with low-income families will be discussed, and a summary, conclusions, and directions for future research are discussed in the context of these recommendations.
