Objective:
Present a systematic analysis of the outcome research concerning video feedback (VF) programs.
Method:
Twenty-nine studies published between 1990 and 2014 were examined. They focused on children 0-12 years old and had at least one control group.
Results:
VF programs were similar in design, with interventions focusing on parental and child behavior, parental sensitivity and attachment. In 41% of the measurements, the program effects were moderate or large in favor of the intervention groups, particularly regarding maternal sensitivity and children's behavior. Components of the VF programs were also examined. Two general problems emerged: lack of transparency/specificity of many programs with respect to the components, and heterogeneity among instruments used for measurement.
Conclusions:
Future research should focus on articulating intervention components and a standardized approach to measurement. This would facilitate comparisons of approaches and increase the possibility of implementing VF programs with fidelity in different professional settings.
