High conflict co-parents engage in recurrent litigation that significantly strains the court system and exacerbates their conflict. Given barriers to their engagement in service delivery (e.g., level of conflict, transportation, child care), it is vital to evaluate targeted interventions and to examine different intervention modalities (e.g., online, hybrid). This study compared court involvement and rates of parental agreement among 178 high conflict cases that received a multi-component intervention, either in-person or in a hybrid version. Results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in the change in number of court negotiations, child-related issues, or court services from before to after-intervention completion or in the proportion of parenting cases who reached an agreement. Both versions demonstrated significant reductions in parents' court involvement from before to after-intervention completion. These findings suggest the need for future research to evaluate the comparative efficacy of hybrid programs and in-person programs for high conflict co-parents with greater methodological rigor in light of the current study's findings and limitations.

比较高度冲突的共同父母的有针对性的干预方式：一项准实验研究

高度冲突的共同父母经常卷入诉讼，这给法院系统带来了极大的压力，并加剧了他们的冲突。鉴于他们参与服务提供的障碍（例如冲突程度、交通、儿童保育），评估有针对性的干预措施并检查不同的干预方式（例如在线、混合）至关重要。这项研究比较了 178 起高度冲突案件的法庭参与率和家长同意率，这些案件接受了多方干预，无论是亲自干预还是混合干预。结果表明，从干预之前到干预完成之后，法庭谈判、儿童相关问题或法庭服务的数量变化，或者达成协议的育儿案件比例，各组之间没有显着差异。两个版本都表明，从干预完成之前到干预完成之后，家长对法庭的参与程度显着减少。这些发现表明，未来的研究需要根据当前研究的结果和局限性，以更严格的方法论来评估混合计划和面对面计划对高度冲突的共同父母的比较功效。
