NCT ID NCT06695663

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two things: training primary care doctors to better refer families to parenting programs, and testing a 6-session online parent training program called Empowered Generations (eGen). Researchers want to see if these steps can reduce behavior problems in children ages 3-8. About 600 parents and doctors are taking part.
