这项研究评估了父母参与一个为期8周的育儿计划，通过日托中心，随机分配到一个货币激励或非激励条件。在最初的1,050名父母中，有610人参加了激励计划，319人参加了激励计划，291人参加了非激励计划。结果表明，无论条件如何，招募的意图都可以预测招募。此外，家长没有更多的人报名参加，参加更多的会议，或更积极地参与激励条件。奖励措施鼓励了一些父母入学，但对他们的出勤率没有影响，这些父母往往年龄较小，社会经济地位不利。重要的是，这些结果不能占之间的条件差异，在儿童和家庭或日托的特点。
This study evaluated parental engagement in an 8-week parenting program offered through daycare centers that were randomly assigned to a monetary incentive or nonincentive condition. Of an initial sample of 1,050 parents who rated their intent to enroll in the program, 610 went on to enroll319 in the incentive and 291 in the nonincentive condition. Results showed that intent to enroll predicted enrollment irrespective of condition. Further, parents did not enroll in greater numbers, attend more sessions, or participate more actively in the incentive condition. Incentives encouraged some parents, often younger and socioeconomically disadvantaged, to enroll but had no effect on their attendance. Of importance, these results could not be accounted for by between-condition differences in child and family or in daycare characteristics.
