Abstract

We tested differences between mothers and fathers engagement in a school-based behavioral parenting intervention for children with attention and behavior challenges. Mothers participated more than fathers during sessions throughout the intervention, but both increased similarly in their strategy use across sessions. More baseline positive parenting predicted more strategy use.
