摘要
Aim Parental depression is a strong risk factor for depression in children and is associated with offspring's behavioral problems. Therefore, prevention measures should aim to reduce the transmission of risk to children of depressed mothers. In this paper, description and evaluation results are reported for EFFEKT-E (Entwicklungsförderung in Familien: Eltern- und Kinder-Training in emotional belasteten Familien), a prevention program to be used in the setting of mother-child rehabilitation clinics. EFFEKT-E is a familyoriented program including parent training and social skills training for pre-school children. Subjects and methods The evaluation study contained 375 mothers and their children. The program was evaluated in a quasi-experimental pre-post-follow-up design using instruments on parenting behavior and children's emotional and behavioral problems. Results Evaluation showed satisfying out reach and implementation of the program. Compared to a treatment-asusual condition, EFFEKT-E children exhibited less emotional disruption and hyperactivity. Mother's sense of parental competence was promoted, problematic parenting behavior decreased. Conclusion EFFEKT-E is an evidence-based selective program which has the potential to prevent intergenerational transmission of depression. © Springer-Verlag 2011.
