Efficacy of Group Attachment Based Intervention for Vulnerable Families
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Child Maltreatment, Domestic Violence
In brief
The study examines the effectiveness of parent-child Group Attachment Based Intervention (GABI) in reducing risk of maltreatment in infants and toddlers compared with parenting skills classes. GABI directly addresses the needs of isolated, marginalized families, with the goals of of enhancing parent coping and resilience, and improving parent-child attachment relationships. We hypothesize that compared to usual care, GABI will be associated with improved child, parent and parent-child outcomes.
