Can extra features in a parenting app help kids behave better?
NCT ID NCT06514326
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two digital programs for parents of children aged 3-7 with behavior problems. Both programs had the same core content, but one included extra features like reminders and progress tracking. Researchers wanted to see if these extras helped parents stick with the program and led to better outcomes for children. The study involved 172 families and measured behavior changes over time.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding motivational features to digital mental health tools improves how often parents use them and leads to better results for children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 172 families, so results may not apply to everyone. The programs are unguided, so success depends on parents using them on their own.
