Reid, M. J., Webster-Stratton, C., & Hammond, M. 2007. University of Washington. Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. (In press)

Although a number of studies have tested multimodal school-based prevention programs that include classroom and parent components, this study is one of the few intervention studies testing the additive impact of a parent intervention on a school curriculum. The results show that parenting behavior, parent-child bonding, and parental school involvement changed significantly in the condition where parents were also involved in the intervention.

Financial cost of social exclusion: follow up study of antisocial children into adulthood

Scott S, Knapp M, Henderson J and Maughan B. 2001. British Medical Journal 323 191-194.

By age 28, costs for individuals with conduct disorder were 10.0 times higher than for those with no problems (95% confidence interval of bootstrap ratio 3.6 to 20.9) and 3.5 times higher than for those with conduct problems. This study compares the cumulative costs of public services used through to adulthood by individuals with three levels of antisocial behaviour in childhood.

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

Edwards, R.T., Ó Céilleachair, A., Bywater, T., Hughes, D.A. and Hutchings, J. 2007. BMJ, doi:10.1136/bmj.39126.699421.55.

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.

Randomised Controlled Trial of a Parenting Intervention in the Voluntary Sector for Reducing Conduct Problems in Children: Outcomes and Mechanisms of Change

Gardner, F., DPhil, and Burton, J., BA, Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention, Department of Social Policy and Social Work, University of Oxford. Klimes, I., MSc., John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK. 2006. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. 47:11. 1123-1132.

Change in parenting skill appears to be a key mechanism for change in child behaviour. Findings have implications for feasibility of translating evidence-based programmes, even for clinically-referred conduct problems, into less specialised community settings, likely to have lower costs and be more accessible for families.
