Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of home positive parenting programs targeted to families at psychosocial risk carried out in Cantabria (Spain). The investigators will collect information before the intervention, and every six months until the family achieves the proposed objectives (with a maximum intervention period of two years). Besides, the investigators will compare these results with information from other families that are not taking part in the program. Depending on the case, the practitioners in charge of the intervention, the main caregivers of the participating families and/or the adolescents will provide the information for the study. The investigators expect that families participating in the programs will improve their parenting competencies, their family dynamics, and the life quality of their children.

Detailed description

A quasi-experimental design will be followed, with at least three evaluation moments and with a non-randomized comparison group. Families will be referred to the PIF from social services. The participants will answer a series of questionnaires and scales, where they will give information related to sociodemographic data, parenting competencies, family functioning and children/adolescent adjustment. The information will be digitized through a computer application to which only the professional intervening with the family will have access. The app will not allow the participants to leave any question with no answer or with an incorrect answer. To analyze the data, the investigators will use the softwares Mplus and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
