Parent Training Meta-Analysis Update and Extension
This study identified effective components of parent training programs.
Using meta-analysis, the study focused on active approaches for building parenting skills—such as practice and modeling—that are most likely to improve key parent and child outcomes. Staff searched databases including PsycINFO, MEDLINE, ERIC, Psychological Abstracts, and Social Work for published studies of training programs for families with children from birth to age 7. They abstracted and synthesized data on program components, participants, evaluation design, outcome measures, and results.
