3.1. Treatment retention and adherence
All nine families completed treatment and the post-treatment
assessments. Eight of the nine families completed the 1-month
assessment; however, one family did not do so due to moving from
the area.
Six of the nine parents read through the book at least two
times over the 4-week period as requested. Five of the nine parents
reported using the book more than 2 h per week and eight of
nine parents reported at least 1–2 h per week (see Table 5 for treatment
adherence/dose). The parents read the book to their child on
average 4.64 nights per week over the 4 weeks (on average 5.88
nights the first week, 4.88 nights the second week, 4.0 nights the
third week, and 3.77 nights the fourth week).
