Summary

This trial tests whether a brief, individually tailored parent training program—just three sessions with optional boosters—can reduce behavioral difficulties in children aged 2 to 12, compared to usual care. Parents of children referred to mental health centers are randomly assigned to either the brief training or standard care. The study tracks changes in targeted behaviors, parenting stress, and child well-being over a year to see if the short program is effective and cost-effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brief behavioral parent training with optional booster sessions
What this could lead to
If effective, this brief, tailored training could make parent training more accessible and reduce waiting lists, helping more families manage children's behavioral difficulties.
What could go wrong
The training is brief and may not work for all families. Results are based on a relatively small group, and longer-term benefits are uncertain.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The child is aged between 2 and 12 years; * Parents have to identify at least four behavioral difficulties of the child that occur in the home setting and that they want to target in the training, using an adapted version of a list of target behaviors (Van den Hoofdakker et al., 2007; Hornstra et al., 2021). This list contains 29 behaviors that can be targeted in the training, such as hyperactive, impulsive, inattentive, oppositional and defiant behavior. The items are derived from target problems that parents mentioned in previous behavioral parent training groups and concern child behaviors that are commonly targeted in behavioral parent training in clinical practice, confirming ecological validity (Van den Hoofdakker et al., 2007). Exclusion Criteria: * The child uses psychotropic medication (currently or in the month before the screening); * The child has at any time received a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in clinical practice, as (parents of) children with ASD may have different needs and therefore may require different treatments than children with behavioral difficulties without ASD; * The child has a known IQ-score below 70, as (parents of) children with intellectual disabilities may have different needs and therefore may require different treatments than children with behavioral difficulties and typical intellectual abilities; * Parents received behavioral parent training aimed at reducing the behavioral difficulties of the concerned child in the year prior to the start of the study; * It is not a suitable period for the parents and/or the child to participate in the study (e.g., moving, divorce); * The child is not living in the same household as the parent(s) who participate(s) in the trial during at least four weekdays (to ensure that our primary outcome can be reported by the same informant(s) and that parents can apply the intervention plans at home).
