Change from baseline to post-treatment in child behavior problems, assessed using multiple reporters, including parents and teachers, as well as observer ratings. |
Parents and teachers report on child behavior using the Child Behavior Checklist-Ages 1.5-5 years (Achenbach, 2000) and the Caregiver/ Teacher Report Form (Achenbach, 2000), respectively. The total behavior problems T-score from each form is used to assess externalizing and internalizing behavior problems. Verbal and physical disruptive behavior and noncompliance are noted using our observation systems (Phaneuf & McIntyre, 2007; Jabson & Dishion, 2004, 2005). These sources of information will be used to build a "child behavior problem" latent construct. Our criteria for including an indicator in a construct are as follows: The items comprising the indicator must show internal consistency (>.60; item-total correlation > .20), and the scale or indicator convergence in SEM must meet acceptable fit criteria; a comparative fit index and Tucker-Lewis or nonnormed fit index <.95, root mean square error of approximation < .06, and standardized root mean square residual < .08. |

Change from baseline to post-treatment in parenting behavior, assessed by parent self-report and and observer ratings. |
Parents report on their parenting behavior using the Parenting Practices Inventory (The Incredible Years, 2015). Parents' positive behavior support and behavior management, as well as parent-child relationship quality, are noted using our observation systems (Phaneuf & McIntyre, 2007; Jabson & Dishion, 2004, 2005). These sources of information will be used to build a "parenting behavior" latent construct. See our criteria for including an indicator in a construct in the description of Outcome 1. |

Change from baseline to post-treatment in parenting stress, assessed by parent self-report. |
Parents report on three forms of stress. General distress in the parenting role is assessed using the parental distress subscale of the Parenting Stress Index-Fourth Edition, Short Form (PSI4-SF; Abidin, 1995). The Negative Impact scale of the Family Impact Questionnaire (Donenberg & Baker, 1993) is used to assess stress specific to the child with DD. The intensity subscale of the Parenting Daily Hassles questionnaire (Crnic & Greenberg, 1990) assesses parents' perceived intensity of daily stressors related to caregiving demands. These sources of information will be used to build a "parenting stress" latent construct. See our criteria for including an indicator in a construct in the description of Outcome 1. |
