GenerationPMTO – Group
GenerationPMTO – Group, also known as Parenting through Change (PTC) and formerly known as Parent Management Training – Oregon Model (PMTO®), is a group-based parenting and family functioning intervention. The intervention is designed to increase parenting skills and promote effective family management.
In the first session, the GenerationPMTO – Group facilitators engage the treatment families and begin building a collaborative group. In the following sessions, the facilitators teach parents skills such as how to: give good directions and encourage cooperation, observe and regulate emotions, teach children through contingent positive reinforcement (e.g., token systems and incentive charts), set limits and use discipline strategies, balance encouragement and discipline, use active communication, problem-solve and manage family conflicts, monitor children’s activities and behavior, encourage daily school routines and promote school success, strengthen their social support network, and balance work with play. Skills are reinforced with home practice assignments and brief calls between group sessions. The intervention model emphasizes role playing as a teaching tool, using questions to promote learning, and encouraging a united parenting front.
Generation PMTO – Group is rated as a well-supported practice because at least two studies with non-overlapping samples carried out in usual care or practice settings achieved a rating of moderate or high on design and execution and demonstrated favorable effects in a target outcome domain. At least one of the studies demonstrated a sustained favorable effect of at least 12 months beyond the end of treatment on at least one target outcome.

Education, Certifications and Training
The organization implementing GenerationPMTO – Group determines the education requirements for facilitators. Facilitators typically have formal training in counseling, clinical social work, or education. Facilitators must attend a 1-day kickoff workshop to build enthusiasm, support buy-in, and begin the process of change. This is followed by two workshops over 10–12 days that focus on learning and practicing model content and the group facilitation process. Workshop trainers employ active teaching techniques, including modeling, video demonstrations, role play, experiential exercises, and video recordings of practice followed by direct feedback. Coaching focuses on content delivery, therapeutic process, and teaching strategies.
Following the first workshop, facilitators begin conducting a group. Following the second workshop, facilitators conduct two additional groups, for a total of three training groups. Group sessions are video recorded for observation-based coaching feedback. Training mentors and coaches review the recordings and provide strength-based written feedback and coaching based on the GenerationPMTO Fidelity Implementation Rating System (FIMP). Facilitators receive at least 12 reflective coaching sessions based on direct observation of their group sessions.
After providing GenerationPMTO – Group to three training groups, facilitators are invited to advance to certification candidacy. To become certified, facilitators submit four video recordings from two new groups. Facilitators must achieve passing scores on all four recordings that are reviewed by FIMP raters. Facilitators are required to participate in ongoing coaching and submit one group session annually for recertification. Facilitators attend a 1-day annual booster workshop.

Note: For the effect sizes and implied percentile effects reported in the table, a positive number favors the intervention group and a negative number favors the comparison group. Effect sizes and implied percentile effects were calculated by the Prevention Services Clearinghouse as described in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Section 5.10.4 and may not align with effect sizes reported in individual publications. Effect sizes for some outcomes were not able to be calculated by the Prevention Services Clearinghouse.
Only publications with eligible contrasts that met design and execution standards are included in the individual study findings table.
Full citations for the studies shown in the table are available in the "Studies Reviewed" section.
The participant characteristics display is an initial version. We encourage those interested in providing feedback to send suggestions to preventionservices@abtglobal.com.
The table below displays locations, the year, and participant demographics for studies that received moderate or high ratings on design and execution and that reported the information. Participant characteristics for studies with more than one intervention versus comparison group pair that received moderate or high ratings are shown separately in the table. Please note, the information presented here uses terminology directly from the study documents, when available. Studies that received moderate or high ratings on design and execution that did not include relevant participant demographic information would not be represented in this table.
