Cost-effectiveness a parenting skills program implemented in public prek schools in disadvantaged urban communities

Description:

This cost-effectiveness analysis is based on an implementation-effectiveness study of the Chicago Parent Program (CPP) conducted from 2014 to 2017, in which CPP was implemented naturalistically in 12 Title 1 Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) programs in Baltimore City (Bettencourt et al., 2019). CPP is a group-based parenting skills program wherein parents participate in a supportive network with other parents in their child’s community and learn a range of parenting strategies they can tailor to their parenting goals and values (Breitenstein et al., 2020; Gross et al., 2009, 2013). Study participants were parent-child pairs recruited from the Pre-K programs to attend CPP sessions at their child’s school. We sought to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for CPP’s marginal impact on the prevalence of conduct problems among children at follow-up. By contributing current information about the economic costs and cost-effectiveness of disseminating CPP to all parents in Pre-K programs located in predominantly low-income neighborhoods of U.S. cities, this study may help inform policy discussions of governmental financing to support engagement of families with multiple economic and social disadvantages in U.S. cities.
