Mindful Parenting and Parent Training Program Study

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Combined Mindful Parenting and Parent Training Program on Children With Disruptive Behavioral Problems and Their Families

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The Mindful Parenting and Parent Training Study will be investigating the combination of Bögels and Restifo's (2014) Mindful Parenting Program and Chorpita and Weisz's (2009) Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH) Program, specifically the BPT module. The Mindful Parenting Program is an adaptation for parents of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program; the program will consist of 7-weekly 2.5-hour parent group sessions. Following the completion of the Mindful Parenting group sessions, half of the participants will be randomly selected to receive individually-implemented MATCH BPT sessions, which will consist of 8-12 weekly (depending on how long it takes for individual parents and their assigned trainer to get through the material), 1.5-hour sessions. The other half of families will have the opportunity to also receive the MATCH BPT program following the completion of data collection.

Both evaluation and treatment services will be offered at no cost to study participants. Parents, children, and teachers will also be offered monetary incentive to thank them for their time and effort completing study related assessments throughout the course of the study to determine if the combination of the Mindful Parenting Program with BPT improves functioning in children with disruptive behavioral problems, as well as the parent-child relationship and the parent's acquisition and enactment of the skills they learn in BPT.
