“…Family processes, such as harsh parental discipline practices (Odgers et al, ) and youth‐caregiver communication (Burke, Pardini, & Loeber, ) have been shown to maintain youth disruptive behavior problems. Interventions targeting these family‐level processes have been of major focus (Acri, Chacko, Gopalan, & Mckay, ; Gopalan et al, ; Rowe & Liddle, ). A meta‐analysis examining the efficacy of family therapy found family interventions significantly more effective in improving key outcomes compared to control conditions (e.g., conduct problems) with a moderate effect size ( d = 0.58) at posttest (Shadish & Baldwin, ).…”

Youth behavior problems have increased in prevalence in Scandinavian countries. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) has been shown to be an effective intervention across diverse populations and international contexts. The current study examines the effectiveness of FFT within a Danish-community sample in a pre-post comparison design and includes 687 families. Observed outcomes included both parent-and/or youth-reported domains of youth behavior, family dysfunction, school attendance and performance, and substance use. Significant improvements were found in youth behavior, family functioning, and school-related outcomes (e.g., like of school and truancy) despite experiencing a 60% attrition rate in our sample postintervention. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of FFT on a wide scale in a Scandinavian context, adding to previous research that supports the transportability of this intervention.

“…2–4 The consequences associated with not receiving treatment during childhood are considerable: not only are many mental health conditions associated with impairments in academic, behavioral, and social functioning, but they are often chronic and likely to extend into adulthood. 5 Furthermore, families of children with disruptive behavior disorders face additional challenges in engagement and utilization of child mental health services. 6…”

“…In fact, negative parent perceptions of treatment have been found to be an even greater barrier to service utilization than logistical issues. 57 The importance of considering client perspectives has also been identified by the Institute of Medicine, 58 who describe the need to have "patient-centered" care that "is respectful of and responsive to individual preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions." 58 Furthermore, collaboration and agreement on treatment goals are key components of therapeutic alliance, 59 which is associated with therapy outcomes in adults 60 and adolescents.…”

Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) interventions are efficacious for young children with externalizing behavior problems. However, not all families benefit, and ethnic minority families in particular are less likely to enroll, engage, and improve in BPT. Versions of BPT interventions tailored for specific ethnic groups have been successful at improving engagement and outcomes for ethnic minorities; however, the specificity of these models presents challenges for broad dissemination. This article presents a personalization approach (PersIn) that utilizes cultural assessment results to tailor treatment protocols to the characteristics of individual families. We believe this approach has the potential to maximize cultural sensitivity while preserving generalizability to both minority and non-minority ethnic groups. We further propose that personalization on Parent Explanatory Model (PEM) parameters that have been found to vary across ethnic groups and to impact treatment engagement and/or outcomes is a promising approach to decreasing disparities in BPTs. We describe examples of evidence-supported PEMs that present good targets for personalization and provide examples from MY PCIT to illustrate how PersIn can be applied to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
