Filter by:The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to learn about effects and experiences of an internet-based parenting program for parents of children and adolescents with behavioral problems (e.g., aggressive or defiant behavior). The main questions the study aims to answer are: - What are the preliminary effects of the internet-based parenting program? - What is the level of parents' engagement in the parenting program? - How do parents perceive the program? Families will be randomized to a version of an internet-based parenting program with support provided from family guides (psychologists) through chat messages in the program, or to the same internet-based parenting program with additional phone/digital support-meetings. Parents will answer quantitative measurements questions before, during, and after treatment. Parents will also be asked to participate in a qualitative interview after the program. Both within and between group comparisons will be conducted to see if there are trends within each arm and differences between the two types of support.
The Early Childhood Collaborative of The Pittsburgh Study is a community-partnered, county-wide implementation of programs for children and families from birth through formal school entry to address real-world challenges that exist in providing effective preventive interventions for families with young children, particularly low-income families.
In a prior application (MH064372), the investigators' treatment research program (Services for Kids In Primary-care, SKIP) developed and tested a chronic care model-based intervention, called Doctor Office Collaborative Care (DOCC), that was found to be effective in the management of childhood behavior problems and comorbid ADHD. In the "SKIP for PA Study", the investigators propose to conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effects of team- and practice leadership-level implementation strategies designed to enhance the use and uptake of DOCC in diverse pediatric primary care offices.
Clinicians should appreciate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) headsets for managing both the anxiety and the behaviour of dental patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of using a VR headset as a distraction for managing the anxiety and behaviour of patients during their dental treatment related to underlying psychological factors.
This is a multi-site, double-blind, parallel group, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 140 participants comparing oral purified cannabidiol isolate (CBD) with placebo in reducing Severe Behavioral Problems (SBP) at 8 weeks in children aged 6 - 18 years with Intellectual Disability (ID). Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either CBD or placebo.
Interventions that promote safe, stable, and nurturing relationships between caregivers and children are key to improving healthy family relationships, reducing child socioemotional and behaviour problems, and preventing child maltreatment. Although a broad range of parenting programs are currently implemented in communities across Ontario, most programs are inadequately evaluated, or else not evaluated at all. Using a three-armed randomized controlled trial, the aim of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two parenting programs, the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program (group - level 4) and the Circle of Security Parenting Program (group) compared to treatment as usual in Ontario, Canada.
By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research, this study aims to: determine the effectiveness of sexual health and development education for children (12-18 years) with mild to moderate intellectual disability. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the control group in the mean score of the "Sexual Development Characteristics Scale of Children with Mentally Retardation in Adolescence" after the sexual health and development trainings given to children with intellectual disabilities. H1: After the sexual health and development trainings given to children with intellectual disabilities, the mean score of the "Sexual Development Characteristics Scale of Children with Intellectual Disability in Adolescence" is significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate early implementation outcomes of a positive parenting program, Child Adult Relationship Enhancement in Primary Care (PriCARE), in the foster care setting and to assess the efficacy of PriCARE in promoting positive parenting and increasing empathy among foster caregivers.
Background:The quality of attachment is greatly influenced by parental sensitivity. Attachment based interventions are designed to promote parental sensitivity, to change parental mental representations and to improve understanding of the developmental needs of the child. Very few studies have investigated the effect of attachment-based interventions on psychiatric symptoms in children. Targeting parental sensitivity and the parent-child interaction might have an important impact on psychiatric symptoms in a clinical sample of children referred to child psychiatric services. Objectives: The primary objective is to investigate whether Circle of Security-Parenting (COS-P) has an effect on parental sensitivity in parents of children referred to child psychiatric services. The secondary objectives are to investigate the effect on children's behavioral and emotional symptoms and the parental stress and reflective functioning after 10 weeks of intervention and at the 24 week follow-up. The study is also exploring the effect of parental attachment style, parental stress and parental psychopathology on the effect of the intervention. Methods: The trial will include 128 families of children (age 3-8 years) who are referred to child psychiatric services in a randomized and controlled design. Included families will be randomized to COS-P+ Treatment as Usual (TAU) or TAU only. Perspectives: Considering the important impact of the quality of the parent-child relationship on the child's well-being, it is essential to target it in interventions and to investigate the relation with psychiatric symptoms. Generally there is a lack of interventions targeting parental sensitivity in psychiatric child populations. Working with the parents on the child-parent relation, might have an important impact on their children's current psychiatric symptoms and could additionally prevent future psychopathology.
