Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to uncover mechanisms of action underlying any long-term change in youth antisocial behavior by considering the role of child and family characteristics as mediators and moderators of change. The study design is qualitative interviews to be conducted face-to-face with parents of children previously diagnosed with Conduct Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) but no longer meet diagnostic criteria. Questions will be asked to understand participants' parenting experience over time (before, during and after their children's treatment).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Parental style and interactions with children	Qualitative interview based on a phenomenological analysis will seek to understand from parents before, during, and after the treatment (previous intervention) about their interactions with their children, especially when problematic behavioural issues occur. All interviews were transcribed verbatim as much as possible, then subjected to a first round of open coding through identification of words, sentences or paragraphs expressing common ideas. Thereafter, a framework of themes was derived and interview content was organized systematically for analysis. The transcripts will also be rotated among researchers for the various stages of coding, such that each transcript was coded by at least two different people. This was to minimize subjectivity in coding and ensure the inter-rater consistency of the codes.	1 year
