Enhancing Adoptive Parenting: A Test of Effectiveness

Alan Rushton, Elizabeth Monck · BAAF

This research book examines whether individual parenting advice, added to routine adoption support, changes outcomes for adopted children with behavioural difficulties. It describes the intervention programmes and their comparison with routine services. Detailed outcome findings are not summarised because the underlying book was not reviewed.

Limitations: Publisher description and bibliographic references only. Child outcomes in the linked trial rely on parent-proxy measures. This book reports the same programme as the 2010 trial article and 2011 economic analysis, so it is not an independent sample. Part of the government Adoption Research Initiative and published by BAAF, an adoption-sector organisation.
