“…There is also evidence that the KEEP intervention is effective at reducing externalizing behavior problems in children with elevated levels of behavior problems, as indicated by scoring in the clinical range on the CBCL (e.g., Greeno et al, 2016). Greeno et al (2016) also found evidence that the KEEP intervention may be effective at reducing internalizing problems among children in foster care. In that study, university-based interventionists utilized a pretest-posttest design but without random assignment.…”

“…Thus far, the KEEP foster parent intervention has been found it to be effective at reducing child behavior problems, as assessed by parental reports of daily behavior problems (e.g., Chamberlain, Price, Leve, et al, 2008; Price et al, 2015). There is also evidence that the KEEP intervention is effective at reducing externalizing behavior problems in children with elevated levels of behavior problems, as indicated by scoring in the clinical range on the CBCL (e.g., Greeno et al, 2016).

“…Such social environments should serve to reduce internalizing behavior problems in children. Supporting this assertion are findings from a study by Greeno et al (2016), who found that family participation in the KEEP intervention resulted in decreases in the severity of externalizing and internalizing problems, as assessed by the CBCL, among children in foster care from baseline to posttest. Unfortunately, no control group was used in this study for comparison.…”

“…There is also evidence that the KEEP intervention is effective at reducing externalizing behavior problems in foster children who have scored in the clinical range for externalizing on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (Greeno et al, 2016). Furthermore, there is preliminary evidence that the KEEP intervention may be effective at reducing internalizing behavior problems (Greeno et al, 2016), as assessed by the CBCL. Unfortunately, no comparison or control groups were included in these studies.…”

“…A growing body of evidence indicates that the KEEP intervention is effective at reducing behavior problems in samples of children in foster care, based on parental reports of daily behavior problems (e.g., Chamberlain, Price, Leve, et al, 2008; Price, Roesch, & Walsh, 2012, 2015). There is also evidence that the KEEP intervention is effective at reducing externalizing behavior problems in foster children who have scored in the clinical range for externalizing on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (Greeno et al, 2016).

Children in foster care are at risk for externalizing and internalizing behavior problems. The KEEP foster parent training intervention has been found to effectively reduce parental reports of daily child behavior problems. The aims of this investigation were to (a) examine the effectiveness of the KEEP intervention at reducing behavior problems among children in foster care, as assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), during implementation of the intervention by a community agency using a randomized design and (b) determine whether the intervention is effective at reducing internalizing forms of behavior problems. Foster and kinship families were randomly assigned to either the KEEP intervention or usual services. The KEEP intervention was delivered by a community agency. Child behavior problems were assessed via the CBCL at baseline and at the end of the intervention (4 months after baseline). Data from 310 foster and kinship families with children aged between 5 and 12 years were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling. The KEEP intervention was effective at reducing the proportion of children in the borderline group for rulebreaking between baseline and follow-up. The intervention was also effective at reducing internalizing problems, as indicated by reductions in internalizing raw scores and the proportion of children in the borderline group over the course of the intervention. These findings suggest the KEEP intervention can provide foster parents with the tools to manage a broad range of behavior problems even as the intervention was delivered by a community agency.
