A growth curve analysis of parent training outcomes: examining the influence of child risk factors (inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity problems), parental and family risk factors

Hartman, R.R., Stage, S., and Webster-Stratton, C., 2002. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. 43(7).

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.

A Randomized Trial of Two Parent-Training Programs for Families With Conduct-Disordered Children

Webster-Stratton, C. 1984. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 52(4):666-678.

Clinic mothers of 35 conduct-disordered children were randomly assigned to a waiting list control group, 9 weeks of individual therapy, or 9 weeks of therapist-led group therapy based on a standardized videotape modeling program. Although both treatments seem to offer equivalent and sustained improvements for parents and conduct-disordered children, the therapeutic efficiency of the videotape modeling group format is more cost-effective.

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., O 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.

Quality Training, Supervision, Ongoing Monitoring, and Agency Support: Key Ingredients to Implementing The Incredible Years Programs with Fidelity

Webster-Stratton, C., PhD. University of Washington. 2004.

Identification and selection of an 'evidence-based,' 'empirically validated,' or 'best practices' mental health program is only the first step in service delivery. In order to obtain similar results to those published by the developer of a program, attention must be given to supervising the quality of the implementation of that program. It is important to assure that the program is delivered with the highest degree of fidelity possible. Fidelity means that the program is delivered in its entirety, using all the components and therapeutic processes recommended by the developer. The Incredible Years Parent, Teacher, and Child Training Programs have been proven in numerous randomized control group studies to be effective for promoting positive parent and teacher interactions with children, strengthening children's emotional, social, and self-regulation competence and reducing behavior problems in both prevention and clinic populations. A number of training processes are recommended to ensure that replication of the Incredible Years programs can be achieved with fidelity: standardized training, detailed treatment manuals, standardized session protocols, peer review, mentoring and supervision, and leader certification. This chapter will provide a description of these training methods and supervision processes to deliver the Incredible Years training programs with a high degree of fidelity.

There is a pressing need for cost-effective population-based interventions to tackle early-onset antisocial behaviour. As this is determined by many factors, it would seem logical to devise interventions that address several influences while using an efficient means of delivery. The aim of this trial was to change four risk factors that predict poor outcome: ineffective parenting, conduct problems, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, and low reading ability.

The introduction of the Webster-Stratton Classroom Dinosaur School Programme in Gwynedd, North Wales: A pilot study

Hutchings, J., Lane, E., Owen, R. E., Gwyn, R. 2004. Bangor Child Behaviour Project, University of Wales, Bangor; Conwy Council Education.

The Webster-Stratton Classroom Dinosaur School Programme was developed as a therapeutic intervention to teach social and problem-solving skills and to reduce behavioural problems in young children. It has subsequently been developed as a classroom programme for use in schools (Webster-Stratton et al., 2001a). In 2001 Gwynedd Education Service in North West Wales undertook a pilot delivery of the classroom programme in the reception class of one primary school. This paper describes the programme and the detail that went into ensuring that the plan would be effective.

The Qualitative Interactions of Children With Conduct Problems and Their Peers: Differential Correlates With Self-Report Measures, Home Behavior, and School Behavior Problems

Elizabeth A. Stormshak, E., Webster-Stratton. C. 1999. Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology 20(2): 295-317.

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.

Treating Children with Early-Onset Conduct Problems: A Comparison of Child and Parent Training Interventions

Webster-Stratton, C. & Hammond, M. A. 1997. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 65(1), 93-109.

As has become all too evident to researchers in the field as well as to the general public, the incidence of conduct problems in young children is increasing. The rationale for targeting parenting behavior as the primary focus of intervention arises from the considerable body of research indicating that parents of children diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or conduct disorder (CD) lack certain fundamental parenting skills.

Who Benefits and How Does It Work? Moderators and Mediators of Outcome in an Effectiveness Trial of a Parenting Intervention

Our study suggests that Incredible Years parenting programs can be as effective, or even more so, with the most disadvantaged and distressed families. However, to our knowledge, this is the first study to replicate and extend these findings in a multiagency effectiveness trial. This is significant because it means that nonspecialist staff working in a range of community services, who are neither part of a specialist team nor part of the program developer’s team can implement this program and achieve good outcomes even with the most hard-toreach families in a low-income community.
