Summary

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