The main purpose of the present study was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the coaching families (CF) program, which aids families and caregivers raising children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Mentors in the program work with families to educate them about FASD, access resources, and advocate on their behalf. Retrospective data from 186 families were analyzed from pre- to post-program. As expected, among caregivers there was a significant decrease in needs and increase in goal attainment from pre- to post-program. Further, there was a significant decrease in caregiver stress from pre- to post-program. Families reported high overall satisfaction with the CF program. The limitations, directions for future research, and implications for service providers were also discussed.
本研究的主要目的是对教练家庭（CF）计划进行初步评估，该计划旨在帮助有胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASD）儿童的家庭和照顾者。该计划中的导师与家庭合作，教育他们有关 FASD 的知识，帮助他们获得资源，并代表他们进行宣传。从项目开始前到结束后，对 186 个家庭的回顾性数据进行了分析。不出所料，在照顾者中，从项目开始前到结束后，需求显著减少，目标实现率显著增加。此外，照顾者的压力也从项目开始前到结束后显著降低。家庭对 CF 计划的总体满意度很高。还讨论了该研究的局限性、未来研究方向以及对服务提供者的启示。
