Key message
Children and young people with behavioural problems need treatment and follow-up. Three current family and community-based interventions are Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO), the Incredible Years and Multisystemic therapy (MST). We present the results of a literature search for systematic reviews of the effects of one or more of the three interventions.
The purpose of the search is to provide an overview of the research field. Citations from our search are sorted according to the type of interventions and behavioural problems addressed:
- 14 overviews of systematic reviews on different family and community-based interventions
- 25 systematic reviews on the effectiveness of Parent Management Training and/or the Incredible Years
- 10 systematic reviews on the effectiveness of Multisystemic Therapy
We have listed the systematic reviews, but have not assessed the methodological quality or summarised the results and conclusions.
