A cost-effectiveness evaluation of parent training

Article Abstract:

A parent training program brings greater improvements in child behavior, parent attitudes and family relationships, and incurs less costs than clinical and mental health services in a sample study. However, the clinical recovery rates for control and treatment groups of children vary slightly. The Common Sense Parenting program is an adaptation of the Teaching Family Model of group home care. It helps parents to apply skills to their families, and create and maintain a healthy home environment.

Evaluation of an Air Force child physical abuse prevention project using the Reliable Change Index

Article Abstract:

Information were gathered on parents at several Air Force bases participating in a collaborative child physical abuse prevention project by the US Air Force Family Advocacy Program and Father Flanagan's Boys' Home. Participants reported marked improvement in relationships with family members, reduction in the risk for child abuse and decrease in child behavior problems. Jacobson's Reliable Change Index was also used in gathering these information which supported the above results.
