Summary

This study tested an online version of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for parents of children aged 2-7 with disruptive behaviors. Twenty-one parents received a 10-week online program with video coaching sessions. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it might reduce disruptive behaviors and improve parent-child interaction.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Internet-delivered Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (online therapy with video coaching)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient, home-based treatment option for young children with disruptive behaviors, reducing the need for in-person visits.
What could go wrong
This was a very small feasibility study with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It also did not compare the therapy to a control group, so any benefits are uncertain.
