Research
Parent management training has been very successful in treating children with conduct problems. The programs have been found to generalize. and to be maintained for several years post the program being discontinued. Meta analytic studies of children with ADHD have found the effect size to be large (.87) for parent management training. Parent management training in the treatment of conduct disorder can be enhanced by simultaneously training the child in problem solving skills with the combined treatment even showing continued and greater improvement one year after the treatment occurred. This success occurs even if children and parents are trained in a group format
Currently, efforts are underway to make the programs more effective with cultural tailtoring and improving cost effectiveness

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
