Note. Higher scores indicate better parenting practices. Rater pair A observed 17 families pre-treatment; rater pair B observed five families pre-treatment; and rater pair C observed eight families post-treatment. Likert-type items were rescaled to a 1–7 scale, except for the discipline items, which were rescaled to a 1–5 scale. One family was excluded from the analyses for rater pair B on the monitoring scale because of missing data.
