Evaluating the impact of the PAC Success Academy on court-mandated families
by Handy, Amy, Ph.D., THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY, 2007, 97 pages; 3282614

Abstract:

This study compared the effectiveness of a multi-family treatment program on court-mandated families and voluntary families. The participants (n=109) included 36 voluntary families and 38 mandated families. Demographically, the families in each group were similar in age and education level but were somewhat dissimilar in their ethnicity and presenting issues. Participants completed a pre and posttest questionnaire, the Family Assessment Measurement III, which revealed that both groups improved on overall family functioning and had high attendance and graduation rates. The implications of these findings for practitioners are presented.
