“…Since 2004, Boys Town has provided CSP training-of-trainers to agencies in four countries and 28 states. Having accrued positive support in prior small scale, non-experimental and quasi-experimental studies (Griffith, 2010; Thompson, Ruma, Schuchmann, & Burke, 1996; Thompson, Grow, Ruma, Daly, & Burke, 1993; Thompson, Ruma, Brewster, Besetsney, & Burke, 1997), CSP is an ideal candidate for further testing in a larger experimental trial. Given the importance of implementation assessment (Durlak & DuPre, 2008), the primary goal of this article is to provide an illustration that can serve as a model for both the collection and reporting of implementation data when rigorously testing promising preventive interventions that are already in use.…”

Common Sense Parenting is a parent-training program that is widely disseminated, has promising preliminary support, and is being tested in a randomized controlled trial that targets lower-income, urban 8th-grade students and their families (recruited in two annual cohorts) to improve the transition to high school. The workshop-based program is being tested in both standard 6-session (CSP) and modified 8-session (CSP Plus) formats; CSP Plus adds adolescent-skills training activities. To offer a comprehensive picture of implementation outcomes in the CSP trial, we describe the tools used to assess program adherence, quality of delivery, program dosage, and participant satisfaction, and report the implementation data collected during the trial. Results indicated that workshop leaders had high adherence to the program content and manual-stated goal times of the CSP/CSP Plus curriculum and delivered the intervention with high quality. The majority of intervention families attended some or all of the sessions. Participant satisfaction ratings for the workshops were high. There were no significant cohort differences for adherence, quality and dosage; however, there were significant cohort improvements for participant satisfaction. Positive fidelity results may be due to the availability of detailed workshop leader guides, in addition to ongoing training and supervision, which included performance-based feedback.

“…Nevertheless, there were many challenges to working with this population. Thompson, Grow, Ruma, Daly, and Burke (1993) found that one of the difficulties with providing programs to low-income populations is their limited access to services. They found that offering services at different times and in different locations with many make-up sessions was imperative to the success of their program.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a psychoeducational parenting program with at‐risk parents of young children. At‐risk was defined as excessive parental use of verbal and corporal punishment combined with low‐income status. All families were seen for 10 weeks, either individually or in very small groups. Results showed that compared with the control group, parents participating in the program significantly decreased their levels of verbal and corporal punishment, anger, stress, and reported child behavior problems; results were maintained at follow‐up. Implications for counselors are provided.

“…Repeated evaluations of CSP Thompson, Grow, Ruma, Daly, & Burke, 1993;Thompson, Ruma, Brewster, Besetsney, & Burke, 1997;Thompson, Ruma, Schuchmann, & Burke, 1996) have shown that parents feel more competent and are better problem-solvers after participating in the intervention. Importantly, participants also reported fewer behavior problems with their children; these effects were maintained at 3-month follow-up.…”
