In early recovery for substance use disorders (SUDs), fathers may experience a desire to become more active in their role as a parent but may need support in using effective parenting strategies. Parent management training programs may be effective for fathers in recovery from SUD as they have been shown to improve parenting knowledge, self-efficacy, parenting practices, and child behavior, as well as decrease parent substance use. Using the Parent Management Training-Oregon model, we adapted a video-based program for text delivery to fathers in their first year of recovery from SUD, the fathering in recovery (FIR) intervention. In this pilot study, we randomized 41 fathers to control or 6 weeks of video content and three brief coaching calls and assessed outcomes in the parenting, child, and substance domains at baseline, 6-week, and 4-month follow-ups. We found FIR was effective for improving parenting knowledge, fathering efficacy, and in reducing fathers' ineffective parenting. The intervention showed promise for reducing child behavior problems. While larger studies are needed to replicate and build on these FIR findings, our data suggest that FIR holds promise for improving the lives of fathers and their families affected by SUD.

一项旨在改善患有药物滥用障碍的父亲的父亲行为的随机对照试验：恢复干预中的父亲行为。

在物质使用障碍 (SUD) 的早期康复过程中，父亲可能希望更加积极地扮演父母的角色，但在使用有效的养育策略方面可能需要支持。家长管理培训计划可能对从 SUD 中恢复的父亲有效，因为它们已被证明可以提高育儿知识、自我效能、育儿实践和儿童行为，并减少父母的药物使用。使用俄勒冈州家长管理培训模型，我们采用了基于视频的程序，向处于 SUD（康复中的父亲干预）恢复第一年的父亲们发送文本。在这项试点研究中，我们将 41 名父亲随机分配到对照组或 6 周的视频内容和 3 次简短的辅导电话中，并在基线、6 周和 4 个月的随访中评估了育儿、儿童和物质领域的结果。我们发现远红外线对于提高育儿知识、提高育儿效能以及减少父亲无效育儿是有效的。该干预措施有望减少儿童行为问题。虽然需要更大规模的研究来复制和建立这些 FIR 研究结果，但我们的数据表明，FIR 有望改善受 SUD 影响的父亲及其家庭的生活。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
