Parent Management

Data for the present study were collected from Parent Management Training Oregon model (PMTO) therapists (n = 83) employed in Norwegian social service organizations. Survey data were analyzed using partial correlation, MANCOVA, and contrast tests. There were statistically significant positive relationships between the number of PMTO therapists working in an agency and respondents reports of: (1) how many families they had treated with PMTO in the past 6 months, (2) PMTO being well integrated in their organization, and (3) how much time they have to practice PMTO in their current position. In addition, practitioners in organizations with more PMTO colleagues were significantly less likely to report that they would stop using the program. Finally, there was a marginally significant positive relationship between the number of PMTO therapists in an agency and practitioners’ reports that they received a sufficient number of PMTO cases. The size of the organization, the number of years therapists had worked with PMTO, and therapist perception of agency leadership were controlled for. Contrast tests suggested that the most prominent differences were between agencies with three PMTO therapists versus agencies with one or two practitioners. There were exceptions to this result; for example, individual practitioners with four or more therapists in their agencies had treated significantly more families with PMTO in the past six months than those with three or fewer therapists. There were large effect sizes for the MANCOVA, F(20, 249) = 10.38, p < .01, η p 2 = .39, as well as the univariate tests. Implementation outcomes were not improved for PMTO therapists if there were practitioners within their agencies working with an evidence-based program other than PMTO. Results suggest that clustering practitioners using the same program within an organization, in groups of three or more, could contribute to successful implementation outcomes for evidence-based programs.

Research And Policy

This chapter reviews the leading family-based programs for preventing delinquency and later offending, focusing on the highest quality research studies as well as the most rigorous reviews of research that include only high-quality studies. It argues that by focusing on families we can go a long way toward improving the effectiveness of programs and policies to prevent delinquency and later criminal offending. As such, this chapter provides some background on family risk factors and family-based prevention programs. It then examines the research evidence on the leading family-based programs for preventing delinquency and later offending: parent education, parent management training, and family programs for system-involved youth. Finally, this chapter discusses some implications for research and policy.

SummaryThis article reviews some of the most effective programmes for saving children from a life of crime, and also presents the results of cost-benefit analyses of some of these programmes. The best programmes include general parent education in home visiting programmes, parent management training, pre-school intellectual enrichment programmes, child skills training, Functional Family Therapy, Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care and Multisystemic Therapy. Communities That Care is a useful overarching programme. Most of these programmes have been shown to reduce crime and save money. The time is ripe to establish national agencies in all countries which will advance knowledge about early risk factors (from longitudinal studies) and about effective developmental interventions (from randomized experiments and cost-benefit analyses).
