The authors conduct a within intervention group analysis to test whether caregiver engagement (e.g., participation, homework completion, openness to ideas, apparent satisfaction) in a group-based intervention moderates risk factors for foster child outcomes in a state-supported randomized trial of caregiver parent training. METHODS: The intervention is delivered in 16 weekly sessions by trained leaders. Outcomes are pre-post change in problem behaviors and negative placements. RESULTS: Analysis of 337 caregivers nested within 59 parent groups show caregiver engagement moderates number of prior placements on increases in child problem behaviors, and moderates risk of negative placement disruption for Hispanics. CONCLUSIONS: Variance in parent group process affects program effectiveness. Implications for practice and increasing effective engagement are discussed.
作者进行了一项干预组内分析，以检验在一项由州政府支持的照顾者家长培训随机试验中，基于小组的干预中照顾者的参与度（如参与情况、作业完成情况、对想法的接受程度、明显的满意度）是否会调节寄养儿童结果的风险因素。方法：由经过培训的领导者进行为期16周的每周一次的干预。结果是问题行为和不良安置的前后变化。结果：对59个家长小组中的337名照顾者进行的分析表明，照顾者的参与度调节了先前安置次数对儿童问题行为增加的影响，并调节了西班牙裔儿童不良安置中断的风险。结论：家长小组过程中的差异会影响项目效果。讨论了对实践的启示以及提高有效参与度的方法。
