We present guidelines for the evaluation of parent training programs. These have been developed within the framework of the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) model of evaluation described by Stufflebeam (1983). The guidelines emphasize that components of evaluation should occur before, during, and after implementation of any training program. The content of programs and the training methods employed should be based on sound theoretical principles and on evidence of effectiveness. We also recommend multiple indirect and direct measures of parent and child behavioral outcomes.
