ABC= Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up; DEF = Developmental Education for Families. foster mothers after accounting for intervention type, χ²= 82.62, df= 72, p= .18. As indicated by these results, foster mothers who received the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up Intervention showed greater increases in their maternal sensitivity scores from pre- to postintervention time points than did foster mothers who participated in the Developmental Education for Families Intervention program.
