Resolving behaviour problems in preschool children: evaluation of a workshop for health visitors. 1988

K Hewitt, and W Crawford
Westgate House, Southmead Hospital, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol.

Workshops on helping parents resolve behaviour problems in their preschool child were provided for all health visitors from one health district in Bristol, UK. An emphasis was placed upon engaging the parents as behaviour change agents, whilst providing a constructional approach to the treatment of this type of problem. The course was evaluated 3 months later. Results are discussed in terms of usefulness of course content as perceived by the health visitors, reported alterations to their health visiting practice and implications for future liaison between clinical psychologists and health visitors.
