NCT ID NCT06569303
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an online parenting program, called Incredible Years, can help Filipino families in California. 500 parents and their children aged 8-12 will take part. Half will get the program, and half will receive standard handouts. The goal is to see if the program improves parenting and reduces children's depression and anxiety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Incredible Years® School Age Basic Parent Training Program (online behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical online tool to help Filipino parents reduce their children's depression and anxiety symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial focused on one ethnic group in one state, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects may be modest.
