吸引和留住参与者对于充分实施旨在预防儿童和青少年问题行为的育儿干预措施至关重要。这项研究考察了该项目的两个版本的基于群体的家庭干预中参与度和保留率的预测因素：标准版本只要求父母参加六个课程，而修改后的版本增加了两个课程，需要儿子或女儿参加。家庭包括一名家长和一名八年级学生，他们就读于太平洋西北部城市学区的五所高贫困学校中的一所。调整后的干预版本比标准版本的参与率更高，在对研究登记时评估的其他变量进行调整后，这一差异在统计上具有显著意义。更高的家庭收入和父母教育，更年轻的学生年龄，以及亲子关系中较差的情感质量，预示着首次参加的可能性更大。在调整后的干预版本中，男孩的父母比女孩的父母更有可能参与该项目。所考虑的变量并不能很好地预测保留率，尽管男孩的父母保留率更高。保留率在不同条件下没有显著差异。要求儿童参加研讨会可能会增加干预的参与度，而其他出勤率预测因素的研究结果表明，需要做出更多努力，招募社会经济资源较少的家庭，以及认为自己不太需要服务的家庭。
Engaging and retaining participants are crucial to achieving adequate implementation of parenting interventions designed to prevent problem behaviors among children and adolescents. This study examined predictors of engagement and retention in a group-based family intervention across two versions of the program: a standard version requiring only parent attendance for six sessions and an adapted version with two additional sessions that required attendance by the son or daughter. Families included a parent and an eighth grader who attended one of five high-poverty schools in an urban Pacific Northwest school district. The adapted version of the intervention had a higher rate of engagement than the standard version, a difference that was statistically significant after adjusting for other variables assessed at enrollment in the study. Higher household income and parent education, younger student age, and poorer affective quality in the parent-child relationship predicted greater likelihood of initial attendance. In the adapted version of the intervention, parents of boys were more likely to engage with the program than those of girls. The variables considered did not strongly predict retention, although retention was higher among parents of boys. Retention did not significantly differ between conditions. Asking for child attendance at workshops may have increased engagement in the intervention, while findings for other predictors of attendance point to the need for added efforts to recruit families who have less socioeconomic resources, as well as families who perceive they have less need for services.
