为参与儿童保护服务（CPS）的父母提供的最常见的服务是育儿培训。然而，目前在CPS家庭中使用的大多数项目缺乏记录育儿培训效果的实证研究。此外，对这些项目的研究缺乏关于亲子行为变化的独立报告的观察数据。通过CPS调查的具有全国代表性的家庭样本，作者评估了育儿培训是否与培训后18个月的育儿实践变化有关，控制了母亲、孩子和家庭特征。接受育儿服务的母亲与没有接受服务的母亲进行了比较，即使她们有相似的服务需求，这是由倾向得分匹配确定的。这项研究发现，与没有接受育儿服务的母亲相比，接受育儿服务的3至5岁孩子的母亲在母亲反应能力和育儿总分方面有一定的好处。然而，这些发现并不能通过多变量分析得到证实。这些结果与之前的发现相一致，即通过儿童福利系统获得的父母培训缺乏显著改变父母做法的必要特征，它们强调了对涉及CPS的家庭进行有凝聚力的、全国性的、基于证据的有效父母培训的必要性。(C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The most common service provided to parents involved with Child Protective Services (CPS) is parenting training. Nevertheless, most of the programs currently in use with CPS families lack empirical research documenting the effect of parenting training. Moreover, studies of these programs lack observational data with independent reports about changes in parent-child behaviors. Using a nationally representative sample of families investigated by CPS, the authors assessed whether parenting training was related to changes in parenting practices 18 months after training, controlling for maternal, child, and family characteristics. Mothers who received parenting services were compared with mothers who did not receive services even though they had a similar need for services as determined by Propensity Score Matching. This study found some modest benefits in maternal responsiveness and total parenting scores for mothers of 3- to 5-year-old children when these mothers received parenting services, as compared with mothers that did not receive parenting services. However, these findings could not be confirmed with multivariate analysis. These results parallel previous findings that parent training obtained through the Child Welfare System lacks the requisite features to significantly change parenting practices, and they highlight the need for cohesive, national, evidence-based effective parenting training for families involved with CPS.
