Modeling long-term parent outcomes of two universal family-focused preventive interventions: one-year follow-up results.
The present investigation extended prior work by R. Spoth, C. Redmond, and C. Shin (1998). These researchers reported findings that 2 universal family-focused preventive intervention programs each had direct effects on a proximal parenting outcome (intervention-targeted parenting behaviors) and indirect effects on 2 global and distal outcomes (parent-child affective quality and general child management) at posttesting. A replication of the previously tested parenting outcome model was conducted with 1-year follow-up data and procedures identical to those used in the earlier study. Results of the present study (N = 404 families) indicate that statistically significant effects on parenting outcomes were sustained through a 1-year period following the posttest.
