The FCU, described in detail by Dishion and Stormshak (2007), was designed to reduce adolescent problem behavior and improve mental health by supporting family engagement and using assessment-driven feedback to motivate parents to improve their parenting practices, particularly in the areas of supervision, involvement, and management of their child’s behavior (Dishion and Kavanagh 2003).
The FCU family intervention curriculum emphasizes three domains, namely, positive behavior support, limit setting and monitoring, and relationship building (Dishion et al. 2011).
These three domains of family management are assessed by the use of surveys and videotaped observations of family interactions.
Parents are then provided feedback and offered support in these domains of parenting as indicated by the family assessment.
Across numerous randomized controlled trials, the FCU has been shown to reduce substance use and antisocial behavior, yet has also been effective for reducing
depression, teacher-reported risk behavior, and probability of arrest (Connell and Dishion 2008; Connell et al. 2007; Dishion et al. 2002; Stormshak et al. 2005, 2011; Van Ryzin and Dishion 2012; Van Ryzin et al. 2012).
In previous studies, the highest risk families were most likely to engage in the FCU, as defined by youth-reported deviant peer involvement, single-parent status, and teacher-rated risk prior to engagement (see Connell et al. 2007).
