Summary
Children enrolled in prekindergarten in a New York City school district participated in a randomized controlled trial of a 13-session parenting intervention program. The program was designed to be engaging and relevant for ethnically diverse, urban families, and youth were assessed both pre- and post-intervention. The intervention resulted in significant improvements in parent-reported parenting behavior and teacher-reported child behavior problems compared to those in the non-intervention group.
