Intervention: Parenting interventions based on social learning theory
Who it was tested with: Parents of children aged 2-10 years across 22 countries, 22% from low and middle-income countries.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"we included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of parenting interventions based on social learning theory for parents of children aged 2–10 years, without time or context restrictions" and "Data were synthesised using robust variance estimation meta-analyses." This is a large-scale meta-analysis of experimental designs comparing intervention and control groups across multiple RCTs.
Most outcome data based on parent self-report rather than independent measurement; high risk of bias in various domains across included trials; limited follow-up data beyond 2 years; heterogeneous study quality across 346 trials.
