Abstract

This study investigates the outcomes of the Nurturing Parenting Program intervention with adolescents ages 13 to 19 from a variety of backgrounds according to self-reported demographic data and scores from the Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory 2 (AAPI-2). AAPI-2 scores were collected between 2006 and 2017 from a population of adolescents ( n = 846) prior to and immediately after receiving the Nurturing Parenting Program intervention. The program intervention significantly increased AAPI-2 scores overall and produced significant increases in specific positive attitudes. There were no significant changes from pre- to post-assessment-related to demographic factors. The Nurturing Parenting Program appears to be an effective prevention and intervention program for a broad array of adolescent populations to change attitudes related to abuse and neglect.
