Effect of Interventions Targeting Incarcerated Parents and Their Children [Internet].

Children with incarcerated parents may be at higher risk than other children for developing behavioural problems and poor mental health. This systematic review addresses the effect of interventions for incarcerated parents and/or their children. We included 22 studies. All the included studies were conducted in the USA. They examined three types of interventions: Parenting interventions, prison nurseries, and support groups for children. Only one study evaluated interventions directed at children with incarcerated parents.
