N2  - Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of empirically supported therapy in applied settings, or typical service in such settings. In this study, parents seeking help at a children's mental health center for managing their 3- to 8-year-old children's behaviors were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Webster-Stratton's Parents and Children Series (PACS) parenting groups (46 families), the eclectic approach to treatment typically offered at the center (46 families), or a wait-list control group (18 families). After 15 weeks, mothers in both treatments reported fewer child behavior problems than mother on the wait list. Mothers in the PACS program reported behavior problems and greater satisfaction with treatment than mothers in the electic treatment. These findings support the effectiveness of the PACS program, relative to typical service, for parents seeking help managing their children's behavior.
