Previous research has suggested that the number of intellectually disabled people with children is increasing. Children of parents with intellectual disabilities may be at increased risk of neglectful care which could lead to health, developmental and behavioural problems, or increased risk of intellectual disability. This document describes the protocol of a research review to assess the effectiveness of parent training interventions for mothers and fathers with intellectual disabilities designed to support parenting, parent-child relations, safe parenting or family environments or to develop parenting skills. The studies to be included will be randomised controlled trials and quasi randomised studies. Studies will be included which compare parent training with other interventions, with usual care or with a control group. This document provides information on: the criteria for considering studies for the review; search methods for identification of studies; and data collection and analysis.

Background: Parents with intellectual disabilities may find it more difficult than other parents to provide adequate childcare. Parent training programmes are one way of providing support. The evidence about the effects of parent training programmes for parents with intellectual disabilities was reviewed. Included studies: Four randomised controlled trials (RCT; a type of experiment where similar people are put into different groups) were included in this review. Review question: Do parent training interventions help parents with intellectual disabilities to parent adequately? Search Date: The evidence is current to July 2017. Study characteristics: The four RCTs were conducted in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and USA, and involved 192 parents. Each studied a different intervention and considered different outcomes. Key results: Compared to those parents without parent training, the studies reported some improvements in parents in the intervention group. One study reported improvement in safe home practices, recognition of child illness and safe use of medicines, in favour of the intervention group. Another study reported improvements in childcare and safety, also in favour of the intervention group; and a third study found that parents who had attended parent training reported less child-related parenting stress compared to the control group. A fourth study reported improvement in mother-child interaction in the intervention group compared with the control group. No study reported that interventions caused harm. The quality of the evidence ranged from very low to moderate. Conclusion: There is some low-quality evidence that parent training interventions for parents with intellectual disabilities may support their parenting. It may also help to establish good parent-child relations. (Edited publisher abstract)
