Summary

This study tested a new parenting program called ADAPT for depressed parents of children aged 6 to 10 with emotional and behavioral difficulties. The program combines emotion regulation skills with parenting techniques. The goal was to see if the program is feasible and acceptable to parents, with 80 participants enrolled.

What this could lead to

This is a small pilot study with only 80 participants, focused on feasibility and acceptability, not on proving effectiveness. The results may not generalize to larger populations.
