Oregon Social Learning CenterPresented at the Intervening Early: Progress and Opportunities in Child Service Settings meeting sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health (NIH), September 18-19, 2007.

Support for this project was provided by Grant No. R01 DA16097 from the Prevention Research Branch, NIDA, U.S. PHS, and support from the Behavior Center in Oslo, Norway.

Nationwide Implementation Study in Norway

• International Collaboration OSLC (Forgatch, Patterson, DeGarmo) Norwegian Center for the Study of Behavioral Problems and

Innovative Practices (Atferdsenterret) (Ogden) University of Michigan (Price)

• Nationwide Implementation of PMTO • Study factors contributing to

Implementation Adoption Adaptation Fidelity through successive generations

• Successive Generations of Norwegian Professionals Generation 1 (G1): certified by OSLC professionals (N=34) Generation 2 (G2): certified by G1 (N=79) Generation 3 (G3): certified by G1 & G2 (N=69) Generation 4 (G4): in process (N=74 )

Fidelity of Implementation Rating System (FIMP)

Knutson, Forgatch, & Rains (2003)

Rating system: evaluates competent application of PMTO principles

Ratings based on direct observation of intervention sessions (DVD recordings)

Sessions scored: Encouragement & Discipline

Session segments rated: 10-35 minute samples

Principal Component Analysis: Alpha = .947; 1 component extracted; 82.85% of variance explained

9-Point Likert Scale:

Good work = 7-9; Acceptable = 4-6; Needs Work = 1-3

FIMP Content

5 categories:

Knowledge: Proficiency in understanding and application of core principles

Structure: Session management, pacing, leads without dominating

Teaching: Interactive approach to promote parents’ mastery and independent use of PMTO skills & tools

Process: Proficiency in use of clinical and strategic skills, provides safe context in which to learn

Overall (Integration): Growth during session, family satisfaction, likelihood to continue & use, sensitive to context
