Evaluation of the Family Intervention Program (PIF)

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of home positive parenting programs targeted to families at psychosocial risk carried out in Cantabria (Spain). The investigators will collect information before the intervention, and every six months until the family achieves the proposed objectives (with a maximum intervention period of two years). Besides, the investigators will compare these results with information from other families that are not taking part in the program. Depending on the case, the practitioners in charge of the intervention, the main caregivers of the participating families and/or the adolescents will provide the information for the study. The investigators expect that families participating in the programs will improve their parenting competencies, their family dynamics, and the life quality of their children.
