Engagement status was coded to reflect participation of the family in the FCU across the early childhood phase of development, including ages 2, 3,and 4, meaning that families were considered to have engaged at a given age if they participated in at least an initial interview and feedback session. Because this is a risk community sample involving families not requesting family intervention services, follow-up parenting interventions were neither advisable nor motivated by the caregivers. However, many of the families accepted the invitation to participate in the FCU, and of those who did, a majority also engaged in some form of follow-up interventions. Following are the percentage of participants who had an assessment at each age and(a) engaged in an FCU feedback session,(b) engaged in follow-up sessions, and (c) in parentheses, the average number of follow-up sessions, respectively: age 2: 76%, 72% (3.4); age 3: 69%, 70% (3.1); age 4: 70%, 74% (3.5).
