The problem
Intervention: Family coping strategies categorized as Family Cohesion, Adaptability, Child-Focused approaches, and Healthy Habits
Who it was tested with: 277 parents from 174 families in the US who had previously participated in a family preventive intervention trial.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Parents were asked to share the strategies they were using to cope that they found most effective, and responses were coded into 4 groups of coping strategies" and "At both months of data collection, parents completed measures regarding parent and child mental health and well-being, couple and coparenting relationship quality, parenting quality, and family cohesion." The study measured coping strategies at two time points and examined their association with family outcomes, representing a pre-post design without a comparison group.
Study uses a convenience sample of families from a previous intervention trial rather than a representative sample. Short follow-up period of only one month limits understanding of sustained effects. No control or comparison group to determine whether outcomes differ from families not using these strategies.
