Long-term evaluation of the Spanish Strengthening Families Program. Assessing the effects of the educational intervention with families

摘要

The Family Competence Program, the Spanish Adaptation of the Strengthening Families Program 6-11 has been implemented in contexts of drug treatment programs and in contexts of social services. Materials and Methods: SFP has been applied with a cuasi-experimental design with control group and pretest and postest measurements. Also with follow-ups the two years after the end of the program. The sample counts with 290 families that participated in the program and 21 families that participated in the control group. Results: Positive changes are observed in six fundamental family factors, in the short term, and also in the 2 years follow-up. Conclusions: Short-term results could show overvalued results, which are corrected with the follow-up analysis.
