Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of provision of a child bed through the Beds for Kids program on objectively measured child sleep, and on daily child behavioral functioning and caregiver functioning over a 14-day period for preschool-aged children.
Aim of study: To evaluate the effects of the shortened version of the Incredible Years (IY) Basic programme, the study which the parents were recruited to. A randomising experimental control between-group design was used with pre- and post-intervention measurements, and a one-year, four-year and ten-year follow-up. Children and families were randomized to either the shortened basic version (n = 89), or the control group (n = 97).
Specific Aims: 1. The primary aims of this study are to conduct formative interviews with teen mothers to inform a targeted adaptation of empirically based weight management and parent training programs for teen mothers for their preschoolers. 2. To conduct a small pilot and post-pilot focus group of the feasibility and acceptability of recruitment and retention methods & the intervention. Study Hypotheses: Given the small sample size and fact that this is a pilot study, focus will be on estimating effect sizes rather than statistical hypothesis testing. However, the investigators exploratory hypotheses are as follows: 1. (a) The adapted intervention will be more feasible compared to the wellness control condition, with a participant retention rate of ≥80% and an average adherence (attendance at weekly treatment sessions; homework completion 5 weekdays weekly) is ≥ 75%; (b) The adapted intervention will be more acceptable compared to the wellness control condition, based on the Consumer Satisfaction Scale and Therapy Assessment Inventory with ≥90% of the participants responding to the item, "In general how satisfied were you with the intervention?" by choosing "unsatisfied" to "very satisfied." 2. (a) The adapted intervention will result in greater improvements in child behavior and parent-child connectedness compared to the control condition; (b) the adapted intervention versus wellness control condition will result in greater increases in child and teen mother individual as well as joint physical activity and physically active play and greater reductions in individual and joint teen mother and child sedentary behavior (television viewing) from baseline to post-intervention; (c) the greater teen mother and child fruit and vegetable consumption; and reduced child juice and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption from baseline to post-intervention; (d) the adapted intervention versus wellness control condition will result in smaller increases in child BMI percentile and teen mother BMI from baseline to post-intervention; (e) participants who attend higher numbers of intervention sessions will show greater improvements in target outcomes (child behavior, parent-child connectedness, and teen mother and child physical activity, sedentary behavior and BMI); with participants receiving the adapted intervention versus wellness control showing the greatest dose-based improvements.
The purpose of this research study is to learn whether or not a brief parenting program called Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) offered at a primary care office can help improve behavior problems in children who are 2-6 years old.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO) compared to treatment as usual (TAU) for parents with children aged 3 and 12 showing behavioral problems.
