abstract="The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Parenting Adolescents Wisely (PAW), a brief interactive laserdisk parent training program, in rural Appalachia. Thirty-eight mothers were assigned to either parent training via the PAW program or a no-treatment control group. Compared to the control group, the mothers who used the PAW program reported increased knowledge of adaptive parenting practices at one month follow-up as well as significantly lower frequencies of child problem behaviors at one and three month follow-ups respectively. No differences were found on the mothers' reports of their parenting practices. These findings indicate that the PAW program may be a useful tool for instructing rural parents in adaptive parenting skills. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 1999.
