A randomized prevention study for ethnic minority mothers assessed the intervention effects of Parent Management Training-Oregon Model (PMTO) on maternal parent practices and child behavior. Ninety-six mothers from Somalia and Pakistan and their children aged 3 to 9 years were randomized to PMTO or a wait-list condition (WLC). Assessments were carried out at the baseline and post-intervention, using standardized measures and a multi-agent approach. All analyses were based on the intention-to-treat principle. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that PMTO was effective in enhancing parent practices, with a decrease in harsh discipline and an increase in positive parenting. Moreover, PMTO produced reductions in motherreported child conduct problems. The largest effect sizes were found among mothers who attended more than 50 % of the PMTO group sessions. Teacher reports showed, however, that there were no significant intervention effects on conduct problems and social competence in kindergarten or school. The results emphasize the importance and feasibility of offering PMTO to ethnic minority families.
一项针对少数民族母亲的随机预防研究评估了父母管理培训-俄勒冈模式（PMTO）对母亲养育实践和儿童行为的干预效果。96 名来自索马里和巴基斯坦的母亲及其 3 至 9 岁的孩子被随机分配到 PMTO 组或等待名单组（WLC）。使用标准化的测量工具和多代理方法，在基线和干预后进行评估。所有分析均基于意向治疗原则。协方差分析（ANCOVA）表明，PMTO 有效增强了父母的养育实践，减少了严厉的纪律，增加了积极的养育方式。此外，PMTO 还减少了母亲报告的儿童行为问题。在参加 PMTO 小组课程超过 50%的母亲中，发现了最大的效果量。然而，教师报告显示，PMTO 对幼儿园或学校的行为问题和社会能力没有显著的干预效果。研究结果强调了向少数民族家庭提供 PMTO 的重要性和可行性。
