Summary

This study tests two group-based parenting programs—HOT DOCS for children 0-5 and DOCS K-5 for kindergarten through 5th grade—designed to help caregivers manage disruptive behaviors and reduce parenting stress. Researchers will enroll 800 caregivers and professionals who speak English or Spanish. The goal is to see if these programs improve child behavior and caregiver well-being.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral parenting training (group-delivered)
What this could lead to
If successful, these programs could offer a practical, low-cost way to reduce disruptive behaviors and parenting stress in families with young children.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage study without a control group, so results may not prove the programs are better than no intervention. Success depends on caregiver engagement and follow-through.
