Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Retention
Retention assesses whether or not the family completed the full treatment program.
Baseline to Post-Intervention (average 8 to 12 weeks)
Mean % Sessions Attended as Scheduled
Participation in each weekly session as scheduled was recorded for each family. Mean attendance of scheduled sessions was computed for each parent-child dyad and then for each group. For example, if a parent-child dyad required 8 sessions to master the program skills and attended all 8 sessions as scheduled they would have 100%. If instead, another parent-child dyad also required 8 sessions to complete the program, but half of those were rescheduled at least once. Then the overall average attendance is calculated across the parent-child dyads in each group. Greater scheduled attendance = optimal outcome.
Baseline to Post-Intervention (average 8 to 12 weeks)
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Mean Post-treatment Score Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI)
Baseline to Post-Intervention (average 8 to 12 weeks)
Mean Sessions for Complete Treatment
Baseline to Post-Intervention (Average 8 to 12 weeks)
Mean Consumer Satisfaction
Post-Intervention (Average 8 to 12 weeks)
