Research suggests parent training leads to positive outcomes for children; however, many studies lack methodological rigor and so more evidence is needed (Mattingly et. al., 2002)
The Incredible Years (Webster-Stratton, 2007) is an evidence-based parent training program
![Page 3: A Research-to-Practice Study. Research suggests parent training leads to positive outcomes for children; however, many studies lack methodological rigor](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b838550346d36e8b6528/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Effectiveness indicated through several large studies with adequate research design.
School based study indicated parents who attended program had higher levels of parent involvement (Reid, Webster-Stratton, & Hammond, 2007).

Practitioner Participation Facilitators supposed to attend three-day
trainingProgram is a minimum of 24 hours direct
training and approximately 6-8 hours of planning per week – many school psychologists may perceive as being too time intensive given their other responsibilities (Curtis et. Al., 2008).
Parent ParticipationDifficult to get parents to commit to attend
entire programEx., Reid study – majority of parents
attended less than 50% of 14 sessions.
![Page 5: A Research-to-Practice Study. Research suggests parent training leads to positive outcomes for children; however, many studies lack methodological rigor](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b838550346d36e8b6528/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A shorter, universal program will be more feasible for practitioners to implement
Parent participation will increase
Will still see positive impact on parental involvement in child’s school

Facilitated by two doctoral level school psychologists and doctoral intern
One facilitator had been trained and gave two hour training to other facilitators
Recruited all parents in grades K-2 through flyer sent home
Group was 2 hours once/week for 4 weeks Beverages & snacks provided each session Parent incentive for attendance provided
(raffle for gas cards)

100% attended 3 out of 4 sessions Parent questionnaire data (INVOLVE-P)
indicates small group effect size (.15) Evaluation questionnaire indicates high
level of satisfaction Example of parent feedback: Q: What
part of the program was most helpful to you? A: “Being able to view and discuss the different techniques that can assist me in being more productive & successful in aiding my child’s learning.”

3 of 5 pre and post questionnaires returned; no control groups completed
Small Group Effect Size – .18 Individual effect sizes varied –
Parent 1 - -1.1 (negative)Parent 2 - .38 (medium)Parent 3 - .53 (medium)

Parent participation still low (possible reason: during the day)Parents who attend are already involved
(low effect size)No conclusions drawn due to insufficient
number of subjects, lack of control group School psychologist participation limited
Offered training to 4 practitioners/interns; only one practitioner attended; one intern facilitated.
Difficulty collecting data teacher
