Clinical Trial Summary

The current study will implement and evaluate a multi-component, psychoeducational intervention for caregivers of children with spinal cord injury (SCI) ages 7-12. Two hypotheses will be tested. First, caregivers who participate in the intervention group will demonstrate better outcomes than caregivers in the control group. Second, children with SCI whose caregivers participate in the intervention group will demonstrate better outcomes than children with SCI whose caregivers participate in the control group.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective of this study is to implement and evaluate an intervention for caregivers of children with spinal cord injury (SCI) ages 7-12. A further objective of this pilot study is to identify which outcomes are being affected by the intervention. Past research has highlighted psychoeducational intervention (i.e., interventions including both educational/skills-building components and psychological support) as most effective in terms of impacting caregiver functioning. The current study will recruit 44 caregivers and their children with SCI. All caregivers will participate in a 2-day Parent Forum, an in-person educational session. Caregivers will then be randomly assigned to receive monthly phone calls from a mental health professional ("intervention group") or no additional targeted support ("control group"). We expect that caregivers who participate in the intervention group and their children will demonstrate better outcomes than caregivers in the control group and their children. ;
