Motivational Parent Training in Community Corrections

父母酗酒和吸毒的历史预示着不熟练的养育方式会导致孩子 反社会行为，酗酒和吸毒的风险，以及在学校和同龄人中的失败。在一个社区内 矫正人群，我们建议检验父母管理培训的有效性和预测效度 动机和认知因素对成功参与育儿小组的影响。这个 样本将从接受法院命令监督的俄勒冈县农村人口中提取，并将 由180名自愿参加的男女及其家人组成。参赛者将活着 每周与15岁或以下的孩子接触，并将随机 分配给以下两种情况之一：激励性家长管理培训(MPMT)或照常 社区(AUC)干预。基线、干预终止和12个月时的评估 后续行动将包括关键结构的多代理、多方法数据：物质使用、反社会 行为、动机水平和认知因素、父母管教、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和 外化行为、学业成绩、同伴相关问题以及物质使用风险 适用于10岁及以上儿童。父母、重要的其他人和儿童调整的正式记录报告， 将为所有儿童收集教养和虐待。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，并 累犯，(3)与AUC条件相比，MPMT组的父母教养技能会有所提高，(4) 养育技巧的提高将产生更好的行为、同伴、学校以及酗酒和吸毒风险 儿童和青少年的结果，以及(5)父母在后续行动中的适应也将受到以下因素的影响 他们孩子的进步。将使用Manova和结构方程模型来测试密钥 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.
