Outcomes of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: A Comparison of Treatment Completers and Study Dropouts One to Three Years Later

Predicting Treatment Success in Child and Parent Therapy Among Families in Poverty

“…Results of the non-significance of demographic variables in treatment success are consistent with the current body of literature (Boggs et al, 2004;Fox & Holtz, 2009;Marcynyszyn, Maher, & Corwin, 2011;McCabe & Yeh, 2009;Sanders & McFarland, 2000;Werba, Eyberg, Boggs, & Algina, 2006). Consequently, this demographic information that is normally collected during the first intake session, is unlikely to be helpful in determining whether or not a family will persevere through the treatment program.…”

Evaluation of a University-Community Partnership to Provide Home-Based, Mental Health Services for Children from Families Living in Poverty

“…An in-home setting is particularly appropriate for addressing behavior problems in younger children for several reasons. First, it eliminates many logistical problems common to low-income families seeking therapy services including difficulty maintaining appointments, reliable transportation, and problems finding appropriate child care (Boggs et al, 2004). Second, the in-home setting provides the clinician with a unique perspective into the lives of these very young children in the settings and systems in which they live.…”

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy as a Family-Focused Approach for Young Children with Traumatic Brain Injury

“…However, they demonstrated high intervention completion rates (71%) consistent with, and in some cases higher than, other PCIT studies (e.g., Antonini et al, 2012;Boggs et al, 2005;Schuhmann et al, 1998;Werba & Eyberg, 2006). Moreover, completion rates for the current study fare well relative to other evidenced-based parent training programs with attrition rates approaching 50% (Reyno & McGrath, 2006), and family-focused TBI interventions with attrition rates between 56% and 76% (Antonini et al, 2014(Antonini et al, , 2012.…”

“…Notably, caregivers who dropped out of the intervention endorsed multiple psychosocial stressors during the time they were enrolled in the study, which may have contributed to their inability to complete the intervention. Nonetheless, the fact that the retention rate for the current intervention, which was delivered twice per week, was similar and in some cases better than previously documented rates for weekly inperson and web-based interventions (Antonini et al, 2012;Boggs et al, 2005;Schuhmann et al, 1998;Werba et al, 2006), provides preliminary evidence regarding the feasibility of this time-limited and intensive approach to intervention. Notably, two families relied primarily on public and medical transportation during the study and still completed the intervention in spite of significant transportation barriers.…”
