Enhancing Adoptive Parenting: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
This economic analysis used the Enhancing Adoptive Parenting trial to compare home-based parenting programmes with usual services. The intervention groups included nineteen families and the comparison group eighteen. Costs and adopter-reported outcomes were assessed through six months. The authors concluded that the programmes might be cost-effective for improving parenting satisfaction, but did not demonstrate reductions in children’s behavioural problems.
Limitations: Small sample and short follow-up. This is an economic analysis of the same trial, not an independent replication. The indexed abstract’s results section is truncated; the summary uses the methods and stated conclusion. Evidence-provider note: adoptive parents supplied some or all questionnaire/interview assessments of the adoptee’s outcomes. These proxy reports are not the adoptee’s own account; other evidence sources, where present, are described in the summary.
