Abstract	A multimethod evaluation procedure was used to evaluate "The Power of Positive Parenting" (Alvy, 1999): pretests and posttests with open-ended questions and satisfaction surveys (n = 99), five focus groups (n = 70), and follow-up phone calls (n = 72). After reading the booklet, parents reported being more confident, showed significant increases in positive parenting skills and attitudes, identified fewer potentially abusive behaviors, planned on sharing the information with others, and stated that the booklet validated behaviors they were already using with their children. These findings are consistent with other studies that have used parenting booklets to educate parents. (Contains 3 tables.) (Author).
