Psychometric Properties of the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire among Adolescents with Substance Use Disorder Histories.
Article in Child & adolescent social work journal : C & A, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Psychometrically sound parenting instruments are a critical aid in guiding clinical assessments of adolescent behavioral outcomes, particularly among clinical samples of adolescents. However, there is a paucity of research on these parenting instruments among adolescents with histories of substance use disorders (SUDs) who represent a high-risk clinical population for whom parents are critical in their recovery process. This study investigated the psychometric properties of an abridged 17-item Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ) in a sample of 294 adolescents (45% female, mean age = 16 years) and their parents (84% female) recruited from substance use treatment facilities as part of a longitudinal parent study. Confirmatory factor analyses established the factor fit of the abridged APQ, and path analyses assessed the predictive validity of the APQ constructs in relation to adolescent externalizing behaviour symptoms 6 months later. Results suggested the hypothesized three-factor model consisting of Positive Parenting, Poor Monitoring, and Inconsistent Discipline parenting constructs represented a satisfactory fit to the data, with minor modifications in scale content for both adolescent and parent versions. All three latent factors were moderately correlated in the adolescent-reported version, but there was no evidence that Inconsistent Discipline and Poor Monitoring were significantly correlated in the parent-reported version. Additionally, results supported the predictive validity of these constructs related to adolescent externalizing behavioral outcomes. Overall, results of the present study support the utility of a multi-informant abridged parenting assessment. However, some items of the Parental Monitoring and Inconsistent Discipline constructs may not be strong indicators of parenting practices among youth in recovery from SUDs. We conclude with suggestions for future research efforts as well as clinical implications of parenting measures among adolescents with SUD histories.
