Filter by:Behavioural problems are prevalent in children, yet the consequences can be significant for the child, family and wider society. Effective intervention is paramount in reducing the impact of childhood behavioural problems. The Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA; Glasser & Easley, 2016) is an atheoretical parenting intervention which aims to reduce childhood behavioural problems. Although used in clinical practice, there is little empirical research on the effectiveness of the NHA. The aims of the study were to examine whether the NHA reduced parent-reported child behavioural problems, reduced negative parenting practices, and increased parental reflective functioning. The study used a multiple baseline single case design. Parents of children with behavioural problems were recruited from CAMHS waiting lists. The NHA was delivered in a guided self-help format, using the Transforming the Intense Child workbook (Glasser, 2016) and weekly phone calls. Data collection involved psychometric measures of parent-reported child behavioural problems, parenting practices and parental reflecting functioning. Measures were repeated throughout baseline and intervention phases. A follow-up four weeks after the intervention included final measure administration and a change interview. The data were graphed and visually analysed. Supplementary analysis included reliable and clinically significant change, Tau-U and percentage exceeding the median. Framework analysis was used to analyse the change interview.
The main objectives of the study are: 1. To find out the effectiveness of Helpful Parenting Program (HPP) for psychological functioning of children's parent having behavioral and emotional issues. 2. To decrease psychological distress among children's parent having behavioral and emotional issues.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare Promoting First Relationships - Home Visit (PFR-HV) to Promoting First Relationships - Telehealth (PFR-T) among parents of 6-12 month olds in the child welfare system. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is PFR-T effective relative to PFR-HV and Usual Care with respect to observed parent sensitive and responsive care, parent knowledge of child social and emotional development, and child externalizing behavior? - Is PFR-T effective relative to PFR-HV and Usual Care with respect to child out-of-home placement in foster care relative to the control group? - How does PFR-T compare in a benefit-cost analysis to the cost-effectiveness relative to PFR-HV and Usual Care? - Are eligible families impacted by the lack of technology and Wi-Fi/cellular data to engage in PFR-T? - How does provider adherence and fidelity in delivery of PFR-T compare to adherence and fidelity of PFR-HV? What will participants be asked to do? 1. Participants will be asked to agree to randomization, resulting in their placement in one of three groups: PFR-HV, PFR-T, or the control group. 2. Participants will be asked to participate in three virtual research visits, over the course of approximately 12 months (families could be finished as early as 9 months, however in our experience, intervention sessions and research visits often need to be rescheduled, delaying completion of the study). The research visits take approximately 80 minutes, and families will be paid $75 for each visit they participate in. 3. During the research visit, the families will be asked to participate in videotaped research activities involving parent-child play and interaction. Parents will be asked to answer questions regarding their background, feelings, parenting opinions, and stress. 4. Families randomized to the PFR-HV intervention are asked to participate in a 10 week in home parenting program which includes videotaped caregiver-child interactions and feedback. 5. Families randomized to the PFR-T intervention are asked to participate in a 10-week parenting program that will occur over Zoom, which will include videotaped caregiver-child interactions and feedback. 6. Families randomized to the control group will be emailed a resource packet with some information about services or programs that might be helpful for them.
The goal of this stepped-wedge cluster randomized control trial is to assess whether a Ugandan community-based intervention for young fathers (ages 18-25 years) of children ages 0-3 years impacts fathers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding positive parenting practices, father-child interaction, harsh physical punishment of children, and intimate partner violence.
This project is a multi-stage evaluation of GenPMTO (Generation Parent Management Training - Oregon Model). GenPMTO is a parenting programme which involves trained practitioners using active teaching approaches (such as group problem-solving, role-play, and video modelling) to support caregivers in using positive parenting strategies at home. The programme is designed to improve parenting practices, as well as a range of outcomes for young people, including improving academic performance, reducing school exclusions, and reducing offending and criminal behaviour. The version of the programme investigated in this project is delivered to groups of parents.
IPSA (Improving Parenting Skills adult ADHD) is a new parent training (PT) program developed and adapted for parents who themselves have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This study evaluates the efficacy of the IPSA program, that is, whether participation in IPSA is associated with desired treatment outcomes (e.g., improved parental self-efficacy). In addition, it examines the program's feasibility (e.g., what parents think about the program, the extent to which parents complete the program, and program safety). The study is a so called randomized controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: Treatment (IPSA) or Control (continued routine services; offered IPSA approximately six months later). Participants are adults with ADHD (any form) that have at least one child in the ages between 3 and 11 years. Data are primarily collected using questionnaires, completed by parents before and after IPSA, as well as in connection with an IPSA booster session (follow-up).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare parents tools to handle challenges and strengths as parents. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do participating parents feel more confident than non partipating parents? - Does the program have positive effects on parenting practices, parents´ well-being, and social support? - Is the programme more effective for some groups of parents ( e.g., gender, socioeconomis status) Participating parents will attend four 1-hour, manual based sessions followed by a 30-minutes optional coffe break. In addition parents will be asked to do homework assignments between the sessions. Researchers will compare the intervention group with an equally sized control group that will receive the program later the same year.
The goal of this mixed-methods study is to describe the association between the level of parent/adolescent discordance in the assessment of the adolescent's level of suicidal intentionality after a suicid attempt and the evolution of the suicidal crisis by assessing the evolution of the adolescent's suicidal intentionality between T0 and 3 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To show the association between the level of parent/adolescent discordance in the assessment of the adolescent's level of suicidal intent after a suicid attempt and various markers of the evolution of the suicidal crisis at 3 months. - Explore the experience of adolescents and their parents regarding the elements they consider relevant in assessing the adolescent's suicidal intent. Participants will be asked to complete various self- and hetero-questionnaires at T0 and T3
Feasibility RCT to ask: Can the investigators coproduce, with parent collaborators, a new service, Infant Parent Support (IPS), to improve the mental health of children with a social worker? Can the investigators test the feasibility of an RCT of IPS compared with services as usual?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of the Reach Out and Read program on infants and their families in the neonatal ICU. The main goals of this study are: - To complete a needs assessment for literacy interventions in the NICU population through evaluating baseline home literacy scores. - To evaluate the effects of the ROR intervention on parental stress levels as assessed by the 6-question State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI-6) - To evaluate the effects of the ROR intervention on parent-infant bonding by comparing scores on the 25-item Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) - To evaluate the effects of the ROR intervention on the home literacy environment by comparing home literacy scores Participants will complete three questionnaires that include demographic information, home literacy scores, the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Index; once at study enrollment, once at 36 weeks corrected gestational age, and once at 3 months corrected gestational age. Researchers will compare the control group (standard care) and a group that receives Reach Out and Read education to see whether exposure to Reach Out and Read affects literacy behaviors, parental anxiety, and parent-infant bonding.
