Parent participation in community-based child mental health services is an important yet understudied process associated with treatment effectiveness. This paper describes the development and psychometrics of the Parent Participation Engagement Measure in a sample of 1374 parents and 563 youth receiving publicly-funded mental health services. Analyses indicated excellent internal consistency, and model fit indices/factor loadings supported a one-factor model. Convergent and discriminant validity were supported, although some coefficients were modest in magnitude. Psychometric results were consistent for Caucasian versus Hispanic, parent versus youth, and English versus Spanish-language respondents. The clinical and research utility of this measure are discussed.
家长参与社区儿童心理健康服务是一个与治疗效果相关的重要但研究不足的过程。本文描述了在1374名家长和563名接受公共资助心理健康服务的青少年样本中,家长参与度测量工具的开发和心理测量学特性。分析表明其具有出色的内部一致性,模型拟合指数/因子载荷支持单因素模型。尽管一些系数的大小适中,但验证了其收敛效度和区分效度。对于白种人与西班牙裔、家长与青少年以及英语与西班牙语受访者,心理测量结果是一致的。本文还讨论了该测量工具在临床和研究方面的实用性。
