A 10-week parenting program delivered by health visitors effectively reduced child conduct problems and improved parent mental health. Benefits were observed in both clinical and non-clinical populations, supporting its role in primary care.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychology
  • Primary Care Pediatrics
  • Mental Health Promotion

Background:

  • Parenting programs are crucial for addressing child behavior issues.
  • Health visitors in primary care offer a accessible platform for early intervention.
  • Early identification and management of behavioral problems can prevent long-term difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a 10-week parenting program delivered by health visitors.
  • To assess the program's impact on child behavior and parental mental health.
  • To determine effectiveness within a general practice population.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized controlled trial involving parents of children aged 2-8 years.
  • Intervention group received the Webster-Stratton parenting program; control group received no intervention.

  • Outcomes measured using validated tools for child behavior (Eyberg, Goodman) and parent mental health (GHQ, PSI, RSE) at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • The parenting program significantly reduced child conduct problems at immediate and 6-month follow-up.
    • Improvements in child behavior, specifically on the Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory, were noted at 6 months.
    • Parents experienced short-term reductions in social dysfunction, regardless of the child's initial behavior score.

    Conclusions:

    • The parenting program is effective in preventing child behavior problems.
    • This intervention contributes to mental health promotion within primary care settings.
    • Health visitor-delivered parenting support is a viable strategy for improving child and family well-being.
