“…Findings from non-US sites, however, yield mixed findings. Positive findings, in the form of reduced reoffending rates, have been reported in Norway (Thøgersen, 2012), and Sweden (Hansson, Cederblad, & H€ o€ ok, 2000). Two studies in Ireland (Graham, Carr, Rooney, Sexton, & Wilson Satterfield, 2014;Hartnett, Carr, & Sexton, 2016) reported success in implementation, as well as significant, sustained reductions in youth behavioral problems.…”

Family functioning is predictive of youth recidivism in Singapore. However, there is a lack of family based interventions for youth offenders on community probation. Evidence-based family interventions developed in Western populations, such as Functional Family Therapy (FFT), have been found to be effective in mitigating subsequent youth criminal behavior. However, no study has examined whether such interventions can be implemented and adapted for use in Eastern cultures. Thus, this paper sought to detail the implementation of FFT in Singapore. Rationale for the adoption of FFT is discussed, and key activities undertaken during the first 18 months of implementation are described. Preliminary data suggest that initial implementation efforts were successful. Challenges encountered, and implications in relation to the broader literature are discussed.

“…To be sure, well-designed replication studies suggest that many ESIs confer benefits comparable to those observed in the studies that warranted their initial designation as promising or effective. From the U.S. Blueprints Model and Promising Programs (BMPP; http://www.colorado.edu/cspv/ blueprints), for example, these include replications in RCTs of functional family therapy in Sweden (Hansson, Cederblad, & Höök, 2000), multidimensional treatment foster care in Sweden (Hansson & Olsson, 2012;Kyhle Westermark, Hansson, & Olsson, 2011) as well as the incredible years in Canada (Taylor, Schmidt, Pepler, & Hodgins, 1998), England (Gardner, Burton, & Klimes, 2006), Norway (Fossum, Mørch, Handegård, Drugli, & Larsson, 2009), and Sweden (Axberg & Broberg, 2012).…”

The spread of evidence-based practice throughout the world has resulted in the wide adoption of empirically supported interventions (ESIs) and a growing number of controlled trials of imported and culturally adapted ESIs. This article is informed by outcome research on family-based interventions including programs listed in the American Blueprints Model and Promising Programs. Evidence from these controlled trials is mixed and, because it is comprised of both successful and unsuccessful replications of ESIs, it provides clues for the translation of promising programs in the future. At least four explanations appear plausible for the mixed results in replication trials. One has to do with methodological differences across trials. A second deals with ambiguities in the cultural adaptation process. A third explanation is that ESIs in failed replications have not been adequately implemented. A fourth source of variation derives from unanticipated contextual influences that might affect the effects of ESIs when transported to other cultures and countries. This article describes a model that allows for the differential examination of adaptations of interventions in new cultural contexts.

“…This study was replicated in a community-based setting as a single group study. The results showed that FFT could improve family functioning and reduce internalizing and externalizing psychiatric symptoms (Hansson, Johansson, Drott-Engl en, & Benderix, 2004); (5) In a sample of 114 substance-abusing adolescents, FFT alone and FFT combined with individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (FFT-CBT) were more efficacious than individual CBT and than a group skills-based intervention in reducing drug abuse (Waldron, Slesnick, Brody, Turner, & Peterson, 2001); (6) In a sample of 119 runaway adolescents with alcohol problems and their primary caretakers, FFT was as efficacious as a home-based ecological family therapy approach (EBFT) at reducing alcohol and drug use compared to services-as-usual; however, EBFT was better than FFT at engaging and retaining families (Slesnick & Prestopnik, 2009); (7) In a sample of 917 families of youth referred to community agencies, FFT was as effective as probation services in a community juvenile setting (TAU) at reducing youth behavioral problems (e.g., felonies, crimes, misdemeanors). However, FFT was more effective than TAU when therapist adherence to the treatment model was high (Sexton & Turner, 2010).…”

This paper examines the application of the guidelines for evidence-based treatments in family therapy developed by Sexton and collaborators to a set of treatment models. These guidelines classify the models using criteria that take into account the distinctive features of couple and family treatments. A two-step approach was taken: (1) The quality of each of the studies supporting the treatment models was assessed according to a list of ad hoc core criteria; (2) the level of evidence of each treatment model was determined using the guidelines. To reflect the stages of empirical validation present in the literature, nine models were selected: three models each with high, moderate, and low levels of empirical validation, determined by the number of randomized clinical trials (RCTs). The quality ratings highlighted the strengths and limitations of each of the studies that provided evidence backing the treatment models. The classification by level of evidence indicated that four of the models were level III, "evidence-based" treatments; one was a level II, "evidence-informed treatment with promising preliminary evidence-based results"; and four were level I, "evidence-informed" treatments. Using the guidelines helped identify treatments that are solid in terms of not only the number of RCTs but also the quality of the evidence supporting the efficacy of a given treatment. From a research perspective, this analysis highlighted areas to be addressed before some models can move up to a higher level of evidence. From a clinical perspective, the guidelines can help identify the models whose studies have produced clinically relevant results.
