- This study tested the After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT) Intervention, a 14-week parenting program tailored to military families. This program was modeled after the social interaction learning (SIL) model, which posits that children’s adjustment worsens when parents have fewer positive interactions with children and use harsh discipline. The current study examined the program’s outcomes on child adjustment (reported by teacher, parent, and child) and effective parenting (based on observed parent-child interactions). The current randomized control trial consisted of two groups: the intervention group (n = 207) and the control group (n = 129) and was primarily comprised of National Guard and Reserve families. Findings suggest the efficacy of interventions such as ADAPT for military families post-deployment.
