Participants 153 from socially disadvantaged areas, aged 36-59 months disorder defined scoring over clinical cut off on Eyberg child behaviour inventory. were 2:1 basis, 104 49...
We examined mediators and moderators of change in conduct problems, a multiagency randomized trial the Incredible Years parenting program. Preschoolers (n = 153) at risk for problems were randomly assigned to intervention 104) wait-list 49) groups. Boys younger children, those with more depressed mothers, tended show greater improvement post-intervention. Other factors (i.e., teen or single parenthood, very low income, high initial levels problem behavior) showed no predictive effects,...

Abstract Background The efficacy of the Incredible Years (IY) Basic parent training (PT) programme for a community‐based sample families with pre‐school children at risk developing both conduct problems and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was examined. Methods Pre‐school displaying signs early‐onset ADHD were randomly allocated to either IY PT intervention, or waiting list (WL) control group. Child symptoms assessed before after intervention. Results Post intervention group...
Background Parenting programs suitable for delivery at scale in low‐resource contexts are urgently needed. We conducted a randomized trial of Lifelong Health ( PLH ) Young Children, low‐cost 12‐session program designed to increase positive parenting and reduce harsh conduct problems children aged 2–9. Methods Two hundred ninety‐six caregivers, whose showed clinical levels (Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory Problem Score, >15), were randomly assigned using 1:1 ratio intervention or control...
Strong arguments have been made for early intervention child problems, stating that is more effective than later, as the brain malleable, and costs are lower. However, there scant evidence from trials to support this hypothesis, which we therefore tested in two well‐powered, state‐of‐the‐art meta‐analyses with complementary strengths: (a) Individual participant data (IPD) meta‐analysis of European Incredible Years parenting ( k = 13, n 1696; age 2–11); (b) Larger, trial‐level robust variance...
This study examined the long-term efficacy of Incredible Years (IY) BASIC Parenting Programme delivered as a preventive intervention with parents pre-school children who display signs attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct problems. Families were followed up after completion controlled trial 11 Sure Start areas in North Mid-Wales West England.Participants 50 whose had received intervention. Child ADHD symptoms assessed at baseline, follow-up one (6 months baseline); two...
The typical pattern for intervention outcome studies conduct problems has been effect sizes to dissipate over time with decreasing effects across subsequent follow-ups.To establish whether the short-term positive of a parenting programme are sustained longer term. To observe trends, and costs, in health social service use after intervention.Parents children aged 36-59 months at risk developing disorder (n = 104) received between baseline first follow-up (6 n 86) 11 Sure Start areas North...
Parenting programmes that are delivered in group settings have the potential to help parents develop parenting skills improve behaviour of their young children. This review provides evidence group‐based childhood problems and development positive short‐term, whilst also reducing parental anxiety, stress depression. Evidence for longer‐term effects these is unavailable. These achieve good results at a cost approximately $2,500 (£1,712 or €2,217) per family. costs modest when compared with...
Abstract Background Change in parenting skills, particularly increased positive parenting, has been identified as the key component of successful evidence‐based parent training (PT), playing a causal role subsequent child behaviour change for both prevention and treatment Conduct Disorder. The amount skills observed after PT varies may be accounted by content programme level implementer process skills. Such variation is an important assessment fidelity, itself essential factor intervention...
Background the incidence of conduct disorder in young children is 10% general population and 37% among fostered children. Up to 40% untreated diagnosed with develop problems later life including drug misuse, criminal violent behaviour. There are more than 80 000 looked after UK, 5000 Wales. Challenging child behaviour main reason for placement breakdown has huge cost implications as challenging up 10 times service use without disorder. The Incredible Years (IY) evidence-based parenting...
Background Child disruptive behavioural problems are a large and costly public health problem. The Incredible Years ® (IY) parenting programme has been disseminated across the UK to prevent this problem shown be effective in several trials. It is vital for policy know which families IY most effective, sure that it helps reduce, rather than widen, socioeconomic inequalities. Individual trials lack power generalisability examine differential effects; conventional meta-analysis lacks...
Purpose: Violence against children increases in adolescence, but there is a research and practice gap research-supported child abuse prevention for the adolescent years. A pilot program low-resource settings was developed collaboration with nongovernmental organizations, government, academics South Africa, using principles. Method: This study used pre-post design to test initial effects of 10-session parenting 60 participants (30 caregiver–adolescent dyads) high-poverty rural Africa. Areas...
Abstract The study evaluated the implementation fidelity and effectiveness of KiVa, an evidence-based program that aims to prevent address bullying in schools, with a particular emphasis on changing role bystanders. was two-arm waitlist control cluster randomized controlled trial which 22 primary schools (clusters) ( N = 3214 students aged 7–11) were allocated using 1:1 ratio intervention (KiVa; 11 clusters, n 1588 students) (usual school provision; 1892 children)). statistician (but not or...
