Motivational Parent Training in Community Corrections

描述（由申请人提供）：父母酒精和药物使用史是不熟练的育儿做法，导致儿童反社会行为，酒精和药物风险，以及在学校和同龄人失败的预测。在社区矫正人群中，我们建议测试父母管理培训的有效性和预测有效性的动机和认知因素，占成功参与养育群体。样本将取自接受法院命令监督的俄勒冈州农村人口，将由N = 180名自愿参与的男性和女性及其家人组成。参与者将与他们15岁或以下的孩子一起生活或每周接触，并将被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。基线评估、干预终止和12个月随访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和外化行为，学习成绩和同伴相关问题，以及10岁及以上儿童的物质使用风险。所有儿童的父母，重要的其他人和儿童调整，养育和虐待的官方记录报告将被收集。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）成功参与MPMT组将导致父母减少药物使用和累犯的风险，（3）与AUC条件相比，MPMT组将获得育儿技能，（4）育儿技能的增加将产生更好的行为，同伴，儿童和青少年的学校，酒精和药物风险结果，以及（5）父母在随访时的调整也将受到其子女改善的影响。将使用MANOVA和结构方程模型来检验关键假设。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 of N = 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.
