“…They point to the appeal of targeting significant resources to at-risk families to provide support in early life (for similar recommendations, see also Peterman et al, 2015). Recent reviews of early childhood programs report a variety of positive results, with effectiveness for particular programs depending on age (e.g., Tehrani et al, 2023). These programs are similar to early prevention programs with favorable outcomes and highly favorable benefit/cost ratios cited by Gottfredson and Hirschi (2020, ch.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV), including intimate partner homicide (IPH) and femicide, raises issues for general theories of crime, such as control and opportunity theories, that see close relationships among friends and family as barriers to interpersonal crimes. Crime-specific studies of both correlates and trends in IPV, including recent interrupted trend studies that examine the effects of COVID restrictions, often test opportunity theories absent considerations of theoretically driven images of actors. Review of empirical research on IPV and IPH reveals strong compatibility between the predictions of modern control theory and consistent findings from trend data. Barriers to understanding of the explanatory power of general theories of crime (including, for example, control theories and feminist perspectives) in contemporary research include use of poor definitions of intimacy, misspecification of age effects, failure to consider the versatility of offending behavior, neglecting the importance of trends in analogous behaviors, neglecting the role of situational factors in violence, and the limitations in the measurement of repetitive victimization. Theories such as routine activity and situational crime prevention that fail to explicitly include characteristics of actors can go only a limited way in providing meaningful policy. Research supports the potential policy effects of investments in early childhood and attention to situational barriers (including limitations on alcohol use and firearm availability) to reduce IPV. Although modern control theory is used to illustrate these issues, other general theories, like feminist theories, can make similar arguments.

“…This type of analysis allows for more detailed definitions of each intervention and reduces heterogeneity (Welton et al, 2009). NMAs are, in fact, extensions of PMAs to scenarios with three or more interventions (Freeman et al, 2018; Tehrani et al, 2023a). NMAs include both direct effects from studies directly comparing two or more interventions (e.g., a direct comparison between Interventions A and B) and indirect effects resulting from direct comparisons of two interventions with the same third intervention (e.g., an indirect comparison of A and B, where each intervention was directly compared with Intervention C in separate studies; Freeman et al, 2018).…”

“…Therefore, NMAs provide more precise and powerful estimates of effects and permit comparisons of interventions that were not directly compared in any one trial (Freeman et al, 2018; Tehrani et al, 2023a). NMAs, again in contrast to PMAs, provide the ranking of interventions according to the probability that each is the best or worst for a given outcome to help inform policy decisions (Caldwell et al, 2019; Tehrani et al, 2023a).…”

The present study tested the effectiveness and ranking of the different combinations of parenting program components in reducing parental stress at the first posttreatment measurement in treatment settings for parents of children with disruptive behaviors. Fifty-seven studies were identified. Six different combinations of parenting program components were compared to the inactive component (control group), based on five active components (psychoeducation [PE], behavior management [BM], relationship enhancement [RE], parental self-management [SM], and parent as a coach [PC]). Except for BM with PE, all treatments, namely (a) BM with RE, (b) BM with SM, (c) BM with PE and SM and PC, (d) BM with RE and SM, and (e) BM with PE and RE and SM and PC, were effective in reducing parental stress when compared to the control group. The ranking of combinations provided evidence that BM with RE (e.g., parent-child interaction therapy) was the most effective combination for reducing parental stress. The evidence also indicated that more comprehensive parenting program components (BM with PE and RE and SM and PC, e.g., The Incredible Years) were less effective in reducing parental stress. The current findings indicate that parenting programs have the potential to reduce parental stress, even if programs are primarily aimed at improving children's behaviors.

“…It also results in missed instruction and difficulties for teachers in managing behavior and resources, impacting both educators and students. Addressing disruptive behavior early is crucial to prevent long-term social and academic difficulties (Whitten, 2009;Tehrani et al, 2023).…”

“…Furthermore, disruptive behavior in childhood has negative effects on a society's overall system of functioning (Cohen, 1998;Boldrini et al, 2023;Tehrani et al, 2023). For this reason, the reduction is not only a concern for teachers and parents but also has political and economic dimensions (Rivenbark et al, 2018).…”

IntroductionThe prevalence of disruptive behavior is increasing worldwide, affecting the learning process and classroom climate, teacher–student relationships, and peer interactions. Disruptive behavior in childhood can have detrimental effects on a child’s long-term growth and may predict similar behavior in adolescence and adulthood. Thus, it is not only contemporary education and school research that are concerned with addressing the issues of teacher workload reduction and improvement of students’ learning environment, but it is also a socially relevant issue. The Multi-tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS) effectively mitigates some of these challenges in the education system and is recognized as a successful framework.MethodsTherefore, this single-case study examined the first two tiers of an MTSS developed in Germany (Multimo) to determine the impact of its implementation on 32 students with disruptive behavior. The first hypothesis propose that the implementation of Tier 1 can effectively decrease disruptive behavior among all students and the second one that assigning students to Tier 2 can provide an additional reduction in disruptive behavior. Data analysis included multilevel analyses with piecewise-multilevel models and the overlap index, the Nonoverlap of All Pairs, based on teachers’ direct behavior rating. All analyses focused exclusively on the outcome variable of disruptive behavior, which was estimated based on teachers’ daily behavior ratings.ResultsThe results of the study showed a significant reduction of disruptive behavior in elementary school students at Tier 1. Disruptive behavior decreased at Tier 2 as well but did not show a significant change compared with Tier 1.DiscussionThe study concludes that in the context of an MTSS, the Good Behavior Game and Daily Behavior Report Card can be used together.
