Abstract
HIDALGO, María Victoria et al. "Family Education and Support" program for families at psychosocial risk: the role of implementation process. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.2, pp.79-85. ISSN 2173-4712. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.psi.2016.03.002.
This paper analyses the implementation characteristics of the Family Education and Support program, a theory-driven, needs-based, and evidence-based positive parenting program originally developed for the Andalusian family preservation services. The implementation process of 34 trials of the FAF program with 155 participants was analyzed. Cluster analyses were also performed to explore variability in implementation conditions from a comprehensive perspective. Results showed different implementation profiles that moderated the FAF effectiveness (namely lengthier interventions, higher program fidelity, and practitioners' positive perceptions and satisfaction with the program). The relevance of examining implementation process across several trials is discussed in order to distinguish core and non-core FAF components, as well as the need for combining faithful and adaptable implementations that guarantee the ecologic validity of evidence-based positive parenting programs.
