“…There are several possible reasons why ICP has this beneficial effect on caregiver depression, and as well as possible reasons why changes in caregiver depression can then affect changes in hyperactive behaviors. For example, there is a robust literature that links caregiver depression and child aggression and conduct problems (Barry et al, 2005(Barry et al, , 2018Connell & Goodman, 2002;Singh et al, 2011). These associations have been found between children with externalizing problems and both with caregivers with chronic and severe depression (van der Waerden et al, 2015) and with caregivers with subclinical levels of depression (Barry et al, 2005;Conners-Burrow et al, 2015).…”

A large body of research demonstrates positive impacts of the Coping Power Program as a preventive intervention for youth behavioral outcomes, but potential collateral effects for caregivers is less known. The current study examined whether the youth-focused Coping Power Program can have a secondary impact on caregiver self-reported symptoms of depression and in turn result in longer-term impacts on child disruptive behavior problems including aggression, conduct problems and hyperactivity. Data from 360 youth/caregiver pairs across 8 waves of data (grades 4 through 10) were analyzed. We used two methodological approaches to (a) assess indirect effects in the presence of potential bidirectionality using timepoint-to-timepoint dynamic effects under Autoregressive Latent Trajectory modeling and (b) estimate scale scores in the presence of measurement non-invariance. Results showed that individually delivered Coping Power (ICP) produced greater direct effects on conduct problems and indirect effects on general externalizing and hyperactivity (through reductions in caregiver self-reported symptoms of depression), compared to group Coping Power (GCP). In comparison to GCP, ICP produced similar direct effects on reductions in caregiver depression. Child-focused prevention interventions can have an indirect impact on caregiver depression, which later shows improvements in longer-term reductions for child disruptive problems.
