studies of parent programs.

Subject: parent effectiveness training


The Connecticut Department of Children and Families  would like to know
about methods for assessing the impact of parent effectiveness training.
These could range from very specific tools such as pre-tests and post-tests
to longer-term studies of the impact of the training on parenting.  We are
interested in hearing from researchers, practitioners, or agencies who have
looked at the issue.

Thank you for your attention.
