Title: Parenting Programme for Parents of Children at Risk of Developing Conduct Disorder: Cost-Effective Analysis

The Incredible Years Child-Parenting Programme improves child behaviour as measured by the intensity and problem scores of the ECBI at a small additional cost and consequently is likely to be cost-effective as compared with the waiting list control. At more severe levels of risk of developing conduct disorder the extra cost may be very small. This parenting programme involves a modest additional cost and demonstrates strong clinical effect suggesting it would represent good value for money for public spending.

For some children the ability to form positive peer relationships is not easily accomplished. Multifactorial research linking children’s functioning across a number of developmental domains with successful peer relations has highlighted the complexity of this problem. In particular, children who have difficulty forming and maintaining successful peer relations are often characterized by a number of both externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems.

When parents limit their use of coercive child management strategies (e.g., yelling, hitting, and verbal aggression) and increase their use of positive, supportive responses (e.g., encouragement, praise, and physically positive behaviors), child conduct problems and parenting self-efficacy significantly improve.

This study suggests that parent training is equally effective for boys with both conduct problems and attentional problems as it is for boys with conduct problems without these attentional problems. In fact, boys rated in the Borderline or Clinical range for attentional problems evidenced a greater decrease in externalizing behavior problems as rated by their mothers. Surprisingly, the predictor variables of depression, stress, and socioeconomic status were not significant contributors at either initial status or growth over time whether outcomes were measured by child conduct problems or parenting interactions.
