DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Parent alcohol and drug use history is predictive of unskilled parenting practices that lead to child antisocial behavior, alcohol and drug risk, and failure at school and with peers. Within a community corrections population, we propose to test parent management training efficacy and the predictive validity of motivational and cognitive factors in accounting for successful participation in parenting groups. The sample will be taken from a rural Oregon county population receiving court-ordered supervision and will consist of N = 180 men and women and their families who volunteer to participate. Participants will live with or have weekly contact with their child(ren) 15 years of age or younger, and will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: motivational parent management training (MPMT) or as usual community (AUC) intervention. Assessment at baseline, intervention termination, and 12-month follow-up will include multiple-agent, multiple-method data for key constructs: substance use, antisocial behavior, motivation levels and cognitive factors, parent discipline, supervision, encouragement, involvement and problem solving. We will assess children ages 5 years and older for internalizing and externalizing behaviors, academic performance, and peer-related problems, as well as substance use risk for children aged 10 and older. Parent, significant other, and official records reports of child adjustment, nurturance and abuse will be gathered for all children. We hypothesize that, (1) motivational levels and cognitive factors will be predictive of increased engagement for both the MPMT and AUC groups, (2) successful participation in MPMT groups will result in parents' reduced risk for substance use and recidivism, (3) gains in parenting skills will occur in the MPMT as compared with the AUC condition, (4) increments in parenting skills will produce better behavioral, peer, school, and alcohol and drug risk outcomes for children and adolescents, and (5) parents' adjustment at follow-up will also be impacted by their children's improvement. MANOVA and structural equation modeling will be used to test the key hypotheses.

描述（由申请人提供）：父母酗酒和吸毒史预示着不熟练的养育方式，这些做法会导致儿童反社会行为、酗酒和吸毒风险以及在学校和同龄人中的失败。在社区矫正人群中，我们建议测试家长管理培训的有效性以及动机和认知因素在成功参与育儿小组中的预测有效性。样本将从接受法院命令监督的俄勒冈州农村县人口中抽取，其中包括 N = 180 名自愿参与的男性和女性及其家人。参与者将与 15 岁或以下的孩子一起生活或每周接触一次，并将被随机分配到以下两种情况之一：激励性家长管理培训 (MPMT) 或照常社区 (AUC) 干预。基线、干预终止和 12 个月随访的评估将包括关键结构的多主体、多方法数据：物质使用、反社会行为、动机水平和认知因素、家长纪律、监督、鼓励、参与和问题解决。我们将评估 5 岁及以上儿童的内化和外化行为、学习成绩和同伴相关问题，以及 10 岁及以上儿童的药物使用风险。将为所有儿童收集有关儿童适应、养育和虐待的家长、其他重要人员和官方记录报告。我们假设，(1) 动机水平和认知因素将预测 MPMT 和 AUC 小组的参与度增加，(2) 成功参与 MPMT 小组将导致父母物质使用和累犯的风险降低，(3)与 AUC 条件相比，在 MPMT 条件下，养育技能将有所提高，(4) 养育技能的提高将为儿童和青少年带来更好的行为、同伴、学校以及酒精和毒品风险结果，以及 (5) 父母的调整在后续也会受到孩子进步的影响。多元方差分析和结构方程模型将用于检验关键假设。
