将学前教育中心随机分为干预组（父母培训组）和对照组，考察母亲心理健康风险因素对父母培训参与和受益的影响。采用家长报告法和独立观察法对父母的教养方式进行衡量，分为严厉/消极、支持/积极、不一致/无效三个方面。结构方程模型显示，父母参与训练与改善教养方式呈剂量-反应关系。与没有这些风险因素的母亲相比，有精神健康风险因素（即抑郁、愤怒、童年受虐待史和药物滥用）的母亲在养育子女方面表现得更差。然而，与没有这些风险因素的母亲相比，有风险因素的母亲参与并受益于育儿培训项目的水平相当。
Head Start centers were randomly assigned to intervention (parent training) or control conditions, and the role of maternal mental health risk factors on participation in and benefit from parent training was examined. Parenting was measured by parent report and independent observation in 3 domains: harsh/negative, supportive/positive, inconsistent/ineffective parenting. Structural equation modeling showed that parent engagement training was associated with improved parenting in a dose-response fashion. Mothers with mental health risk factors (i.e., depression, anger, history of abuse as a child, and substance abuse) exhibited poorer parenting than mothers without these risk factors. However, mothers with risk factors were engaged in and benefited from the parenting training program at levels that were comparable to mothers without these risk factors.
