Abstract

Parenting support programs are an effective means to prevent children's behavioral difficulties. A variety of services are offered to families, ranging from short, targeted interventions to more sustained support. However, the added value of enhanced interventions has yet to be demonstrated compared to short, more targeted programs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the added value of an enhanced program offered within the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program, the Pathways Triple P (Level 5). This enhanced program was examined in comparison to two other shorter interventions also from the Triple P system (Level 3 and Level 4). To that end, the behavior of children aged 12 years and younger whose parents had participated in the enhanced Level 5 intervention, n = 26, was compared to that of children in Level 3, n = 56, and Level 4, n = 202. The results indicate that the Level 5 intervention does not demonstrate additional benefits in improving prosocial behavior or in reducing emotional difficulties, conduct problems, hyperactivity and inattention symptoms, and peer relationship problems. These results help to foster discussion about the relevance of implementing enhanced interventions when more efficient alternatives exist for improving children's behavior.
