TITLE OF THE REVIEW Parenting interventions for reducing negative outcomes for incarcerated fathers and their families BACKGROUND Due to the enforced absence from the daily enactment of parenting duties, such as feeding, playing or assisting with homework, the role and experience of parenting is fundamentally different for incarcerated rather than domiciliary parents. As a result, fathers who are prisoners can feel illegitimate and unrecognised in their role as parent (McCrudden, Braiden, Sloan, McCormack & Treacy, 2014). This sense of illegitimacy can leave some fathers with feelings of guilt, shame or helplessness (Boswell & Wedge, 2002), and on the outside of their children’s lives. Additionally, perceptions of fatherhood are influenced by men’s normative view of masculinity (McLaughlin & Muldoon, 2014). The restricted ability to enact the role of father, as well as the perceived incompatibility of the role with the role of prisoner can result in fathers being unwilling and unable to behave as competent fathers. This in turn has negative consequences for both the prisoners and their families both during time spent in prison and on their release. The extent of inter-generational incarceration suggests that many prisoners have had poor role-models and experiences of being fathered themselves, undermining their parenting skills but also placing their children at increased risk of incarceration. While imprisoned fathers who maintain a positive relationship with their children are six times less likely to reoffend (Social exclusion Unit, 2002), the nature and experience for families who visit prisons can leave prisoners and families with feelings of frustration and guilt undermining the continuation of visits. This has been linked to increased risk of negative outcomes in terms of well-being, behavioural problems, negative social interaction and cognitive delays amongst children of incarcerated parents (Eddy & Poehlamann, 2010). Parenting Interventions are recognised as a potential pathway to support incarcerated parents and their families (Skar, Tetzchner, Clucas & Sherr, 2014). Research indicates improved outcomes for both the incarcerated parent and their family (Landreth & Lobaugh, 1997). While the majority of policy, interventions and research has been targeted toward mothers who are incarcerated (Travis & Waul, 2004), the last decade has seen an increase in research aimed specifically at exploring the cost of imprisonment of fathers on their partners and children (Meeks, 2007). Results from this research indicate that the value of some elements of parental interventions were particularly high for incarcerated fathers (Palusci, Crum, Bliss, & Bavolek, 2008). However, other studies highlight potential adverse effects (Skar et al., 2014). In light of these specific and contradictory findings, the purpose of this proposed review is to (a) Synthesise individual findings and (b) explore potential explanations for contradictory results.

OBJECTIVES 1. Synthesise research findings of individual studies on parenting interventions for incarcerated fathers in improving fathers parenting skills and mental health. 2. Synthesise the evidence on the effectiveness of parenting programs for incarcerated fathers in reducing post-release recidivism. 3. Synthesise the evidence relating to the barriers and facilitators of implementing successful prison based parenting interventions. EXISTING REVIEWS A search conducted on Cochrane, Campbell and PROSPECT databases revealed one registered title of a systematic review involving parenting programmes for incarcerated parents (McLaughlin, Dempster & Livingston, 2014). Since initiating the Title Registration Process for our own review the protocol for McLaughlin et al. has been published (2016). This has enabled us to identify key points of difference between the current project and the existing protocol. While a gender-neutral review of parenting interventions are important, identifying the unique situations of incarcerated fathers is a critical task (Dyer, Pleck & McBride, 2012). Societal norms surrounding parenthood result in different attitudes and expectations relating to the roles of fathers and mothers (Skar, 2014). As a result, judicial systems often recognise motherhood as a mitigating aspect when formulating policy surrounding visitation facilities as well as sentencing practices (Minson, 2013). However, these policies rarely take into account the needs of fathers to interact meaningfully with their families in the same way. This results in societal expectations and practices emphasising the incompatibility of father and prisoner identities (Dyer, et al. 2012). Such an approach relegates the father-child relationship to a secondary role within the family (Hairstone, 1998). This is in spite of the fact that father absence represents the single most important predictor of subsequent criminal behaviour (LaRosa & Rank, 2001). In addition, Hjalmarsson & Lindquist (2012) emphasis the potential impact of incarcerated fathers as negative role models with 63% of boys with a convicted father going on to offend themselves (Farrington, et al., 2001). As such, fathers’ experiences, needs and responses from parenting interventions may differ (Skar et al. 2014). A significant difference between the existing Cochrane Protocol and the current review is the inclusion of both quantitative and qualitative methods. By incorporating qualitative designs the current title can evaluate not only the effectiveness of prison based parenting interventions but also explore barriers and facilitators to effective participation and implementation (Pope & Mays, 1995).

Finally, the current review includes within group designed studies. The nature of the prison system in not conducive to the consistency and continuity required of an RTC. Early release schemes, disciplinary procedures and prisoner movements can undermine attempts to maintain strict control of any intervention. By including within group and no control group studies the present proposal increases the number of papers eligible for review. Taken together this emphasises the importance and justification of conducting a systematic review aimed specifically at the impact of parenting interventions on incarcerated fathers. INTERVENTION Eligible interventions will include all parental training and educational interventions with an emphasis on parental knowledge of child development & behaviour, as well as enhancing effective parental communication, promoting incarcerated fathers engagement with their family. This will include individual and/or group based programmes as well as short intense interventions and longer term stage interventions. Comparison groups will be within group pre-intervention levels, non-incarcerated father groups, no intervention, treatment as usual or waiting list controls. POPULATION Incarcerated fathers with children under the age of 18. OUTCOMES Primary Outcome 1. Changes in parenting skills, mental health and long term implications for reoffending of incarcerated fathers. i). Parenting skills changes will be measured in knowledge of child behaviour and development, knowledge of parenting styles, parental attitudes, father-child interaction & self reported parental confidence. ii). Mental health changes will be measured using psychometric scales of parental stress, self-esteem & general health and well being Secondary Outcomes 1. Impact of parenting intervention on fathers’ self-identity. 2. Improvements in child functioning, well-being & behaviour.

3. Identify barriers and facilitators of implementing successful prison based parenting interventions. Short term effects will be considered at the end of treatment in comparison to preintervention and/or control group levels. Medium/Long term effects will be evaluated at follow up data collection points. STUDY DESIGNS Quantitative design studies involving comparison groups of non-incarcerated father groups, no intervention, treatment as usual or waiting list controls will be included in this review with over 35 studies already identified for consideration (See Table 1 for a brief description of examples of potential studies to be included). Quantitative designs studies included will incorporate psychometric scales. Measures will be taken from incarcerated fathers and their families, as well as prison and programme implementation staff. Qualitative design studies included will incorporate observational and interview measures. Qualitative studies will be included in order to identify barriers and facilitators of implementing successful prison based parenting interventions. Additionally, qualitative studies will be used to identify future research questions as well as potential directions of future research. Quantitative designs will be used to assess primary outcomes knowledge of; child behaviour and development, knowledge of parenting styles, parental attitudes, self-reported parental confidence, psychometric scales of parental stress, self-esteem and general health & well being Quantitative designs will also be used to assess secondary outcomes: identification of any adverse effects on incarcerated fathers and their families, improvements in child functioning, well being & behaviour, long term implications for reoffending, well being and social integration for incarcerated fathers and children. Quantitative data will be synthesised using meta-analysis when it is either possible or appropriate to do so. Narrative analysis will be applied in all other cases. Qualitative data will be thematically analysed and related to quantitative data in the narrative findings.

Before the treatment prison group selfreported better parenting skills and poorer psychosocial health than comparison group. Both groups improved in parenting strategies. Comparison group improved on emotional engagement and positive discipline while the prison group reported no change or lower scores. Interview results indicate prison fathers became more aware of their paternal role but also found the treatment challenging.
