亲子调解计划旨在解决或管理纠纷，改善家庭功能，但缺乏对其有效性的严格评估。家庭提到一个以社区为基础的调解计划（N=111）被随机分配到干预或等待名单对照组，并完成了三项调查，在12周的时间。除了父母报告的儿童犯罪（减少更多的干预组），这项评估提供了一点支持的短期有效性的亲子调解，以改善家庭功能和减少儿童的问题行为。鉴于这是第一个关于亲子调解计划的随机对照试验，在得出关于这种干预措施有效性的确切结论之前，需要进行更多的评估，包括更大的样本和更长的随访。
Parent-child mediation programs are intended to resolve or manage disputes and improve family functioning, but rigorous evaluations of their effectiveness are lacking. Families referred to a community-based mediation program (N=111) were randomized to an intervention or wait-list control group, and completed three surveys over a 12-week period. With the exception of parent-reported child delinquency (which decreased more in the intervention group), this evaluation provides little support for the short-term effectiveness of parent-child mediation for improving family functioning and reducing child problem behaviors in general. Given that this is the first randomized controlled trial of a parent-child mediation program, additional evaluations involving larger samples and longer follow-ups are needed before firm conclusions can be drawn about the effectiveness of this intervention.
