“…The findings from the meta-analyses indicate that the programmes which specifically targeted externalising symptoms achieved moderate reductions in children’s externalising behaviours (Bailey et al, 2015; Chesterfield et al, 2020). These findings align with the non-RCT studies, as the majority of studies observed significant reductions in children’s externalising behaviours post-programme.…”

“…Four of the six interventions were manualised group-based parenting programmes, facilitated by psychologists. Five studies evaluated 1-2-3 Magic, where caregivers were taught various techniques to manage misbehaviour, elicit and reinforce desirable behaviour, and strengthen the parent-child relationship (Bailey et al, 2012(Bailey et al, , 2015Chesterfield et al, 2020;Porzig-Drummond et al, 2014, 2016. In Dealing with Disobedience, parents received psychoeducation and behaviour management strategies via interactive and discussion-based sessions (Dittman et al, 2016).…”

Objective: No synthesis of the Australian evidence regarding targeted prevention and early intervention for mental health concerns among young children exists. This review aimed to (1) describe the types of targeted community-based mental health programmes evaluated in Australia to support children aged 1–9 years exhibiting internalising and/or externalising symptoms and (2) examine their impact on children’s internalising and externalising symptoms and disorder diagnosis. Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted (PROSPERO: CRD42021255257). Four databases (PsycINFO, PsycArticles, MEDLINE and CINAHL) were searched for Australian studies published in the past 10 years that quantitatively evaluated the impact of a targeted programme on children’s mental health. The National Institute of Health Quality Assessment Tools were used to evaluate the study quality. Results: Forty-two studies were included; the majority (67%) were medium quality. The mean sample size was 142 (SD = 170), children’s average age was 5.78 years (SD = 2.44) and 58% were male. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were underrepresented. Studies evaluated 16 programmes that targeted (1) externalising symptoms ( n = 20 studies, n = 6 programmes), (2) internalising symptoms ( n = 14 studies, n = 7 programmes) or (3) both, termed transdiagnostic programmes ( n = 8 studies, n = 3 programmes). Externalising programmes achieved a significant moderate mean reduction in externalising behaviours (standardised mean differences = −0.56), internalising programmes yielded a small mean improvement in anxiety symptoms (standardised mean differences = −0.25) and 57% reduced odds of anxiety disorder diagnosis. Evidence supporting transdiagnostic programmes was inconclusive. Conclusion: Parenting-focused programmes targeting young children’s internalising or externalising behaviours have the largest local evidence base supporting their effectiveness. Limitations include a lack of engagement with fathers, triangulation of outcomes, homogeneity and implementation reporting. Greater implementation and evaluation of community-driven integrated and systemic approaches that identify, engage and support Australia’s most disadvantaged cohorts of young children and their families are needed.

“…These findings highlight that even non-clinical samples would benefit from primary preventive interventions focused on positive parenting in the field of paediatrics and public health. In this line, a recent programme designed by Chesterfield et al (2020), has shown the influence of a brief behavioural parenting intervention to reduce child disruptive behaviour, dysfunctional parenting, and ADHD symptom severity. From a systemic point of view, in the case of parent-focused interventions, it would help to improve the quality of interactions with children and to introduce new routines which would allow for a reduction in ADHD symptoms in children, which translates into an improvement in family functioning.…”

Family Context and ADHD Symptoms in Middle Childhood: an Explanatory Model

Recent research suggests that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be influenced by interactions between the individual and their social context. This study examined the predictive value of family context variables and attentional control levels on child ADHD symptoms. A new explanatory model of the relationship amongst these variables was also tested. A sample of 754 families with children aged 7 to 11 was assessed through the Conners Parent Rating Scale, the Haezi-Etxadi Family Assessment Scale, and the Attention Network Test. Path analysis models showed a predictive association between children ADHD symptoms and Social Support Network, Parental Stress, Parental Self-efficacy, Attentional Control and being male. Furthermore, a stronger Social Support Network was associated with greater Parental Self-efficacy, a variable that predicted Parental Stress levels and children ADHD symptoms. In conclusion, a new multi-influence model of variables linked to ADHD symptomatology during mid-childhood is provided, which may be useful to support the design of family interventions.

“…The use of brief intervention formats has been suggested as another way to decrease wait times and improve engagement in ESTs [ 89 ]. Although some studies have reported significant reductions in child disruptive behaviour following only two or three PMT sessions [ 57 ▪ , 90 ] others have found that brief interventions result in smaller effects on disruptive behaviour compared with standard-length ESTs [ 82 ]. As a result, the potential for smaller effects must be weighed along with the potential benefits of increased engagement when considering brief intervention approaches.…”

Purpose of reviewThere are a wide range of psychosocial treatment options, delivered in different modalities, for children with disruptive behaviour. However, clinicians face many challenges in ensuring the empirically supported treatments (ESTs) they select will be effective for their patient. This has prompted studies to generate knowledge on how to improve treatment outcomes for children with disruptive behaviour. This review identifies the major challenges in treatment selection as well as emerging research seeking to improve outcomes.Recent findingsThis review emphasizes the salience of the research-practice gap associated with establishing ESTs using narrow definitions of clinical problems. Recent research is reviewed considering the complex determinants of disruptive behaviours, including parent and family factors that influence outcomes. The review subsequently outlines recent advances in research and clinical practice guidelines aiming to surmount these challenges. Key advances discussed include examining the most impactful components of ESTs, personalizing interventions by targeting core dysfunction underlying behaviour, and addressing parent factors including mental health and cultural relevance to improve outcomes.SummaryThorough assessment of patients’ needs, combined with knowledge of treatment response predictors, are recommended to determine the most suitable treatment plan. Recent advances have focused on developing and designing interventions that meet needs in a way that is flexible and tailored.
