TL;DR: Psychometric support for the PSI-SF is provided as an effective and appropriate measure for use with high-risk families that have been underrepresented in previous research, including mothers of very young children with behavior problems, Hispanic and Spanish-speaking populations, and low-income families.

TL;DR: Results provide initial evidence for the efficacy of this brief and home-based adaptation of PCIT for infants and highlight the benefit of identification and intervention as early as possible to promote mental health for infants from high-risk families.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that a brief and intensive format of a parent-training intervention is a feasible and effective treatment for young children with externalizing behavior problems with clinical implications for improving children’s behavioral impairment in a very brief period of time.

TL;DR: The BITSEA is supported as an effective screening tool for use with young infants, Hispanic and Spanish-speaking populations, and low-income families and preliminary support for sensitivity to change for the BITSEA problem scale is revealed.

TL;DR: The empirical studies reviewed demonstrate the increased risk for negative behavioral and cognitive outcomes following early childhood TBI, and the need for multidisciplinary work examining outcomes for this vulnerable pediatric population is highlighted.
