  26. Making your local parenting programme effective for a whole population: do you: Make it available, acceptable, accessible, affordable? Use programmes independently shown to work? Supervise workers regularly using a manual? Have strong management to coordinate elements? Define population, screen risk, pursue non-attenders?

  27. Systematic, population-based services • Level 1: universal, media-based “infotainment” • Level 2: primary care 20 min specific consult • Level 3: primary care 4 X 20 min wider skills • Level 4: group parenting, say 8 sessions • Level 5: more intensive – extra 10 sessions • Australian experience with Triple P (Sanders)
