Parent education programs may be offered or mandated at various stages of the child welfare services continuum. However, little is known regarding their efficacy in addressing the parenting problems that bring families to the attention of child welfare services. This article synthesizes outcome data generated from 58 parenting programs with families determined to be at-risk of child maltreatment and/or abusive or neglectful. It places parent education programs within the broader context of research on effective parenting as well as the leading etiological models of child maltreatment to assess the evaluations of these programs with regard to methodological rigor as well as theoretical salience. Practical and theoretical implications are presented along with recommendations for future research.
家长教育项目可能会在儿童福利服务连续体的不同阶段提供或被强制要求实施。然而，对于这些项目在解决导致家庭引起儿童福利服务关注的育儿问题方面的效果，我们知之甚少。本文综合了58个针对被认定有虐待儿童风险和/或存在虐待或忽视行为的家庭的育儿项目所产生的结果数据。它将家长教育项目置于更广泛的有效育儿研究背景以及儿童虐待的主要病因模型中，以评估这些项目在方法严谨性和理论显著性方面的评估情况。同时还提出了实践和理论意义以及对未来研究的建议。
