Summary	Comments about sensitivity to change	This measure has been shown to be sensitive to change brought about by participation in other home visiting programs and group parenting intervention programs.
Summary	General remarks	Oriented towards parental abusive and harsh behavior; did not seem that sensitive or useful in our populations; Not that widely utilized overall (JHU). In the MSU study, it was useful for helping programs understand the orientation of parents in the program. Also, has been effectively used (and been sensitive to change) by MSU researchers in other projects with other populations (including Home Visiting interventions).
