A preventive mental health intervention was tested with low income parent-child dyads. Parents who were having a problem with the behavior of their preschool child were recruited; 89 parents, of 96 children, completed pre- and postintervention assessments. Families were randomly assigned to a "minimal treatment" control group or a more extensive treatment experimental group. Parent training was supervised by the authors and delivered by paraprofessionals using standard treatment manuals. The more extensive intervention produced significantly more improvement in parents' ratings of children's symptoms of attention deficit and internalizing symptoms than did the control intervention. A blind measure of videotaped interaction between parent and child also demonstrated significantly more improvement from the experimental intervention. Both groups improved with respect to parents' ratings of children's oppositional symptoms. Change in parent ratings of children's behavior was correlated with change in blind observers' ratings in parents' behavior.
一项预防性心理健康干预措施在低收入亲子二元组中进行了测试。招募了那些在学龄前儿童行为方面存在问题的家长；96名儿童的89位家长完成了干预前和干预后的评估。家庭被随机分配到“最小治疗”对照组或更广泛治疗的实验组。家长培训由作者监督，并由辅助专业人员使用标准治疗手册进行。与对照干预相比，更广泛的干预在家长对儿童注意力缺陷症状和内化症状的评分上产生了显著更大的改善。对亲子之间录像互动的一项盲测也表明，实验干预带来了显著更大的改善。两组在家长对儿童对立症状的评分方面都有所改善。家长对儿童行为评分的变化与盲测观察者对家长行为评分的变化相关。
