A number of evidence-based parenting programs have proven effective in preventing children’s behavioral disorders, from anxiety and depression to drug use and violence. However, despite their effectiveness, several barriers keep families and children from participating in or receiving these interventions.
There is an opportunity to integrate family focused preventive interventions into primary care settings. This briefing brings together researchers and evaluators, practitioners, policymakers, and parents to discuss the effectiveness of family-focused prevention interventions, as well as personal accounts of how these interventions have had positive effects on families.
