Delivering Intervention for Pediatric Behaviour Problems at a Distance: a Randomized Trial of Strongest Families Ontario
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Strongest Families Intervention (formerly Family Help) for Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Behaviour Disorder. Completed, enrolled 172 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Strongest Families (formerly Family Help)is an evidence-based, distance health education model for families who have children with behavioural difficulties. The principal research question is "Does Strongest Families, a 12-week, home-based program of interactive readings, instructional videos, homework projects, and weekly "coaching" telephone calls out perform the care families typically experience when referred to a mental health service?". The investigators hypothesize that children randomized to Strongest Families intervention will show a significantly greater reduction in externalizing behaviour problems than those randomized to a Control (usual care). In addition, parents randomized to Family Help will report a greater improvement in parenting skills and a greater reduction in symptoms of emotional distress (i.e., feeling of anxiety, depression, and stress) than parents in the Control condition. Finally, families randomized to Family Help will use fewer mental health services than Controls.
