Abstract
This pilot study examined the comparative effects of two empirically supported, manualized parenting programs, Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) and Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP), with low-income, immigrant Latina mothers reporting high levels of parental stress and child internalizing problems. Findings from a 2 (group) × 2 (times) repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that, compared to STEP, CPRT demonstrated a medium to large treatment effect (η p 2 = .117) on children’s internalizing problems, although between group differences were not statistically significant. Results for parental stress indicated no statistically or practically significant between-group differences. Within-group treatment effects revealed larger effects for the CPRT group for internalizing behavior problems (CPRT, d = 2.51; STEP, d = 0.73) and parental stress (CPRT, d = 1.29; STEP, d = 0.82). Clinical significance of the findings indicated greater improvement for children and mothers in the CPRT group.
