NCT ID NCT06767293

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests two online parenting programs for parents of children born very preterm (before 32 weeks). The goal is to see if these programs improve parenting skills, reduce child behavior problems, and lower parent stress. Ninety families will be randomly assigned to one of two online programs or a control group with internet resources only.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Online parenting intervention (I-InTERACT Preterm program and microlearning version)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide effective, accessible online support for parents of preterm children, reducing behavior problems and improving family well-being.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small early-stage trial (90 participants) testing behavioral interventions, not a drug. Results may not apply to all families, and improvements may be modest.
