Every Family: The Australian Triple P System Population Trial

This project aims to determine the effectiveness of targeting a single capability such as parenting skills in a cost-effective way to prevent or reduce multiple risks associated with disadvantage and represents the first international population trial of a social intervention of this kind. The project will evaluate whether an integrated system for providing families with access to evidence-based parenting skills (the Triple P Positive Parenting Program System; TPS) has the potential to reduce risk factors associated with the intergenerational transmission of deep and persistent disadvantage (DPD) at a population level. The project will use quasi-experimental observational research design involving 33 socially disadvantaged communities within Queensland matched to similar communities within New South Wales who have not been exposed to the Triple P System.
