Aktivt ledarskap för bonusfamiljen är grundat av Micheal Popkin och Elizabeth Einstein. Idag finns det ingen svensk forskning på programmet då materialet är tämligen nytt i Sverige. Det finns däremot över 20 års studier från USA.

In Parenting by Dr. Popkin
Active Parenting parent education programs have been in use since 1983, with the publication of The Original Active Parenting Discussion Program (Popkin, 1983). This groundbreaking program was the first true video-based delivery system applied to the field of parent education. It targeted parents of 2- to 17-year-olds in a six-session, two hour format. Field test evidence for this program (Popkin, 1984) was published in The Second Handbook of Parent Education (Fine, 1991) and reported significant positive changes in the behavior of both parents and children.Of the 274 parents in the study, 97% reported positive changes in their own behavior, 84 % reported positive changes in their childs behavior, and 97 % indicated that they would recommend the program to friends. All 35 group leaders indicated that they would recoemmend the program to colleagues. This positive acceptance of a new multi-modal delivery system utilizing video technology as well as traditional methods of group discussion, lecture, role-play and home practice led the program to become adopted by thousands of leaders during the next ten years.
