“…The 18-month follow-up level of conduct problems (ECBI-IS: M = 92.2, SD = 22.5) in the current sample was within one-fifth standard deviation of the Swedish norm group level (ECBI-IS: M = 88.2, SD = 26.0, N = 841) as reported by Axberg et al[39]. To put these results into a context, it can be noted that 25 participants (71.4 % of families who responded at followup, N = 37) were within SD of the norm group mean by the time of the 18-month follow-up.…”

“…Written consent was obtained from parents after providing information about the study. Next, parents were asked to respond to the Eyberg Child Behavior Checklist [38], with focus on the child in the household who presented with most conduct problems, and those who scored C1 SD above the Swedish norm-group mean [39] were eligible, and were subsequently randomized to either Internet-based PMT intervention or the WL control condition. Parents in the WL condition were offered the same PMT intervention as the intervention group after the 10-week WL period.…”

The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate if previously reported treatment gains of a parent management training (PMT) program, administered via Internet, were retained from post to the 18-month follow-up. Another aim was to evaluate homework compliance as a predictor of short and long-term outcomes. Participants were parents of 58 children (3-11 years) with conduct problems who received a 10-week self-directed PMT program, with limited therapist support. Parents of 32 children (55.2 %) responded at all measurement point (baseline, post-test and follow-up) and analyses showed that child conduct problems continued to decrease during the 18-month period after the intervention whereas parenting skills deteriorated somewhat from post treatment. Pre- to post-treatment change in child conduct problems was predicted by parental engagement in homework assignments intended to reduce negative child behaviors. The findings provide support for the use of Internet-based PMT and stress the importance of parental compliance to homework training.

“…However, at the 2-year follow-up, the average level of child externalizing behavior across all four programs, as measured by ECBI intensity, was within ½ SD of the mean of a normative sample of Swedish children (Axberg et al 2008). Given that the baseline level was more than 1½ SD above the norm mean (i.e., at program start, 27 months prior to the 2-year follow-up), this is an indication that the PT programs were at least reasonably effective in reducing externalizing behaviors.…”

Long-term follow-up studies of selective parent training (PT) programs are scarce, particularly in the case of effectiveness trials conducted within regular care settings. This study evaluated the 2-year effects of 4 programs: Comet, Incredible Years, Cope, and Connect and differences in the rate of change among programs were investigated using Latent Growth Modeling (LGM). Participants were parents who had sought help at 30 local service sector units (e.g., child psychiatric clinics and social services centers) for major problems in managing their children's externalizing behavior. Parents of 749 children (63 % boys) with moderate levels of externalizing behavior, aged 3-12, were randomized to one of the 4 PT programs. Assessments included parent-reported measures of child externalizing, hyperactivity and inattention, as well as parenting practices, sense of competence, and parents' stress and depressive symptoms. At 2-year follow-up, there were no differences in any of the child outcomes among the programs. All programs had reduced externalizing behaviors with large effect sizes (d = 1.21 to d = 1.32), and negative parenting practices with moderate to large effect sizes (d = 0.49 to d = 0.83). LGM analyses showed that the 2 behavioral programs, Comet and Incredible Years, produced more rapid reductions in externalizing behavior during the course of the intervention than the non-behavioral program, Connect. Connect, however, was the only program where children continued to improve after the intervention. Overall, the results indicate that the 4 programs were equally effective in a clinical setting, despite differences in their theoretical origin.

“…In this study, we used an adaptation of ECBI, which retains 22 items from the original 36 (ECBI-22;Burns and Patterson 2000). The ECBI-22 has been validated for parents of children 3 to10-years-old in Sweden (Axberg et al 2008). It correlates highly with the 36-item version (r0.97) and has good internal consistency (α0.94) and testretest reliability (r0.88).…”

Factor analytic studies of one of the widely used measurements of parental discipline, the Parenting Scale (PS), have yielded ambiguous results. The purpose of this study was to compare various forms of the PS in terms of factor structure and other psychometric properties. The sample consisted of 617 mothers and 430 fathers of 2 to 5-year-olds. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that shorter structural models provided a better fit compared to the original model; however, none led to an optimal fit. Other psychometric properties such as internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent and predictive validity were slightly higher for the original Laxness and Overreactivity subscales. The findings from this study and previous studies suggest that the inter-item relationship in the scale might be too sensitive to sample characteristics, implying that factor analysis might not be the best way to measure the scale's validity. Nevertheless, other psychometric properties support the use of the Parenting Scale in the assessment of dysfunctional parenting practices. We recommend using the original Laxness and Overreactivity subscales rather than the later models, especially for research purposes.
