这是一项针对离婚家庭的以育儿为中心的预防性干预的随机对照试验的15年纵向随访，研究了项目对子女能力影响的级联模型。有人假设，干预导致的父母教养方式的改善将通过影响青春期的行为问题和能力，在成年后带来更好的学习、工作、同伴和浪漫能力。家庭(N=240)在儿童9-12岁时参加了11个疗程的计划或文学控制条件。数据来自前测、后测和在3个月和6个月以及6和15岁时的随访评估。结果表明，父母教养方式对青春期外化问题的初始干预效果与成年后的工作结果呈级联效应。父母教养效果也直接影响工作成功。对于工作结果和同伴能力，干预效果受到初始风险水平的影响；该计划对进入计划时风险较高的年轻人有更大的影响。此外，对养育子女的干预效果导致较少的外在问题，而这些问题反过来会导致更好的学习成绩，这表明这些问题会延续到成年阶段。结果突显了新开端计划的干预效果可能随着时间的推移而级联，影响成年人在多个领域的能力，特别是对高危青少年。
This 15-year longitudinal follow-up of a randomized controlled trial of a parenting-focused preventive intervention for divorced families examined cascade models of program effects on offsprings’ competence. It was hypothesized that intervention-induced improvements in parenting would lead to better academic, work, peer, and romantic competence in emerging adulthood through effects on behavior problems and competencies during adolescence. Families (N = 240) participated in the 11-session program or literature control condition when children were ages 9–12. Data were drawn from assessments at pretest, posttest, and follow-ups at 3 and 6 months and 6 and 15 years. Results showed that initial intervention effects of parenting on externalizing problems in adolescence cascaded to work outcomes in adulthood. Parenting effects also directly impacted work success. For work outcomes and peer competence, intervention effects were moderated by initial risk level; the program had greater effects on youths with higher risk at program entry. In addition, intervention effects on parenting led to fewer externalizing problems that in turn cascaded to better academic outcomes, which showed continuity into emerging adulthood. Results highlight the potential for intervention effects of the New Beginnings Program to cascade over time to affect adult competence in multiple domains, particularly for high-risk youths.
