基于证据的程序的内容和过程的检查是至关重要的经验评估理论的程序如何工作，“行动理论”的程序。新的开始计划（NBP），父母离婚后的预防性干预，理论上说，该计划在三个领域引起的父母教养的改善：积极的关系质量，有效的纪律，并保护儿童免受父母间的冲突，将减少离婚家庭的儿童中常见的负面结果。过程理论认为，与这些育儿领域相关的程序技能的家庭实践是导致育儿积极变化的主要机制。在NBP有效性试验的干预条件下，使用来自477名父母的多评分者数据对这一理论进行了检验。四个研究问题得到了解决：家庭实践的技能预测的变化，相关的育儿成果的计划有针对性的？这种影响是否超出了参加项目会议的影响？家庭实践的哪些指标（即，尝试、忠诚、效能和能力）最能预测父母教养方式的改善？这些指标是否预测了服务不足的亚群（即，拉丁美洲人（Latino）？结构方程模型分析表明，家长报告的功效和提供者评定的家长能力的家庭实践预测改善的目标养育领域根据父母和孩子的报告。此外，家庭实践的指标预测改善父亲和拉丁美洲人的养育子女，虽然模式的影响不同的养育子女的结果。
An examination of the content and processes of evidence-based programs is critical for empirically evaluating theories about how programs work, the “action theory” of the program. The New Beginnings Program (NBP), a parenting-after-divorce preventive intervention, theorizes that program induced improvements in parenting across three domains: positive relationship quality, effective discipline, and protecting children from interparental conflict, will reduce the negative outcomes that are common among children from divorced families. The process theory is that home practice of program skills related to these parenting domains is the primary mechanism leading to positive change in parenting. This theory was tested using multi-rater data from 477 parents in the intervention condition of an effectiveness trial of the NBP. Four research questions were addressed: Does home practice of skills predict change in the associated parenting outcomes targeted by the program? Is the effect above and beyond the influence of attendance at program sessions? What indicators of home practice (i.e., attempts, fidelity, efficacy, and competence) are most predictive of improvements in parenting? Do these indicators predict parenting improvements in underserved subpopulations (i.e., fathers and Latinos)? Structural Equation Modeling analyses indicated that parent-reported efficacy and provider-rated parent competence of home practice predicted improvements in the targeted parenting domains according to both parent and child reports. Moreover, indicators of home practice predicted improvements in parenting for fathers and Latinos, although patterns of effects varied by parenting outcome.
