目的：尽管认识到需要父母的干预，以防止儿童行为问题，很少有社区计划进行了评估。这份报告描述了一个四次会议的心理教育小组的行为问题，在社区机构提供的学龄前儿童的父母的随机对照评价。方法：1998年，通过社区广告招募了222名主要照顾者，填写了关于父母教养方式和儿童行为的问卷。父母被随机分配到立即干预或等待名单控制。干预包括每周三次的小组会议和一个月的助推器，重点是支持有效的纪律（使用视频1-2-3魔术）和减少亲子冲突。结果如下：使用意向治疗分析，重复测量方差分析表明，父母谁收到的干预报告显着更大的改善，在养育子女的做法和显着更大的减少比对照组的问题行为。在实验组的一个子集中，积极的养育行为的收益在1年的随访中得以维持。结论：这个简短的干预计划可能是一个有用的第一次干预幼儿行为问题的父母，因为它似乎是可以接受的和合理的有效。
Objective: Despite recognition of the need for parenting interventions to prevent childhood behavioral problems, few community programs have been evaluated. This report describes the randomized controlled evaluation of a four-session psychoeducational group for parents of preschoolers with behavior problems, delivered in community agencies. Method: In 1998, 222 primary caregivers, recruited through community ads, filled out questionnaires on parenting practices and child behavior. Parents were randomly assigned to immediate intervention or a wait-list control. The intervention comprised three weekly group sessions and a 1-month booster, the focus being to support effective discipline (using the video 1-2-3 Magic) and to reduce parent-child conflict. Results: Using an intent-to-treat analysis, repeated-measures analyses of variance indicated that the parents who received the intervention reported significantly greater improvement in parenting practices and a significantly greater reduction in child problem behavior than the control group. The gains in positive parenting behaviors were maintained at 1-year follow-up in a subset of the experimental group. Conclusions: This brief intervention program may be a useful first intervention for parents of young children with behavior problems, as it seems both acceptable and reasonably effective.
