Motivational Parent Training in Community Corrections

父母酒精和药物使用史是导致儿童死亡的不熟练育儿做法的预测 反社会行为，酒精和毒品风险，以及在学校和同龄人中的失败。社区内 矫正人口，我们建议测试家长管理培训的有效性和预测效度 的动机和认知因素在占成功参与育儿团体。的 样本将从接受法院命令监督的俄勒冈州农村人口中抽取， 由N = 180名自愿参与的男性和女性及其家人组成。参与者将生活 与15岁或15岁以下的孩子（ren）有接触或每周接触一次，并将随机 分配到两个条件之一：动机父母管理培训（MPMT）或照常 社区（AUC）干预。基线、干预终止和12个月评估 后续工作将包括关键结构的多因素、多方法数据：物质使用、反社会 行为，动机水平和认知因素，父母的纪律，监督，鼓励， 参与和解决问题。我们将评估5岁及以上儿童的内化能力， 外化行为、学习成绩、同伴相关问题以及物质使用风险 为10岁及以上的儿童。父母，重要的其他人，和孩子调整的官方记录报告， 将为所有儿童收集养育和虐待信息。我们假设，（1）动机水平和 认知因素将预测MPMT和AUC组的参与度增加，（2） 成功参加MPMT小组将降低父母使用药物的风险， 累犯，（3）与AUC条件相比，MPMT条件下的育儿技能会有所提高，（4） 父母养育技巧的提高将产生更好的行为，同伴，学校，酒精和药物风险 儿童和青少年的结果，以及（5）父母在随访时的调整也将受到以下因素的影响： 孩子们的进步。Manova和结构方程模型将被用来测试的关键 假设

Parent alcohol and drug use history is predictive of unskilled parenting practices that lead to child antisocial behavior, alcohol and drug risk, and failure at school and with peers. Within a community corrections population, we propose to test parent management training efficacy and the predictive validity of motivational and cognitive factors in accounting for successful participation in parenting groups. The sample will be taken from a rural Oregon county population receiving court-ordered supervision and will consist ofN = 180 men and women and their families who volunteer to participate. Participants will live with or have weekly contact with their child(ren) 15 years of age or younger, and will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: motivational parent management training (MPMT) or as usual community (AUC) intervention. Assessment at baseline, intervention termination, and 12-month follow-up will include multiple-agent, multiple-method data for key constructs: substance use, antisocial behavior, motivation levels and cognitive factors, parent discipline, supervision, encouragement, involvement and problem solving. We will assess children ages 5 years and older for internalizing and externalizing behaviors, academic performance, and peer-related problems, as well as substance use risk for children aged 10 and older. Parent, significant other, and official records reports of child adjustment, nurturance and abuse will be gathered for all children. We hypothesize that, (1) motivational levels and cognitive factors will be predictive of increased engagement for both the MPMT and AUC groups, (2) successful participation in MPMT groups will result in parents' reduced risk for substance use and recidivism, (3) gains in parenting skills will occur in the MPMT as compared with the AUC condition, (4) increments in parenting skills will produce better behavioral, peer, school, and alcohol and drug risk outcomes for children and adolescents, and (5) parents' adjustment at follow-up will also be impacted by their children's improvement. Manova and structural equation modeling will be used to test the key hypotheses.
