1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Evidence-based parenting support programs (EBPS) based on social learning and cognitive behavioral principles are effective in reducing conduct-related problems in a diverse range of cultural contexts. However, much less is known about their effects with indigenous families. A Collaborative Participation Adaptation Model (CPAM) was used to culturally adapt a low-intensity, two-session group variant of the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program for Māori parents of young children in New Zealand. CPAM involved collaborating closely with Māori tribal elders, practitioners as end-users, and parents as consumers through a participatory process to identify content and delivery process used in Triple P that would ensure that traditional Māori cultural values were incorporated. The culturally adapted program (Te Whānau Pou Toru) was then evaluated with 70 parents of 3-7-year-old children in a two-arm randomized clinical trial (intervention vs waitlist control). Results showed that parents in the intervention group reported significantly greater improvements in child behavior problems and reduced interparental conflict about child-rearing compared to parents in the control group at immediate post-intervention. These intervention effects were either maintained or improved further at follow-up assessment. At 6-month follow-up intervention-group parents reported significantly greater reductions in overreactive parenting practices and greater confidence in managing a range of difficult child behaviors than control parents. The culturally adapted program was associated with high levels of parental satisfaction. Findings are discussed in terms of making brief, effective, culturally adapted parenting support available to Māori families.
