Summary

This study tested a program that helps mothers with depression and their young children (ages 2-4) who have behavior problems. The program combines parenting support with videos to help moms cope with stress. Researchers wanted to see if treating both together works better than treating each alone. The study involved 76 mother-child pairs and measured changes in depression and behavior over time.
