Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to better understand how to best help parents of young children with problem behavior. Problem behaviors vary between and within children, but can include inattention/hyperactivity, tantrums, and/or noncompliance.
Detailed Description
If eligible and choose to participate, this study includes: A baseline assessment which will include asking a series of questions about parent, child and family, as well as parent-child observations. If eligible for treatment, sessions occur once per week for approximately 8 to 12 weeks. Sessions include new information and lots of practice and discussion about how to make the skills work best for specific families. After finishing treatment a post-assessment (similar to BL) conducted. All of the assessments (i.e., video-and audio-recorded), as well as the sessions with a therapist will be recorded (i.e., video recorded).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) Score-Problem
Time Frame: Baseline, study completion, approximately 10 weeks total
The ECBI is a 36 item parent-report scale. For each item, parents rate the intensity of the behavior (0 = never to 7 = always) and whether they consider each behavior to be a problem (0 = no; 1 = yes). Clinically significant symptoms are defined by scores more than 2 standard deviations above the normed mean for the Intensity Subscale (clinical cutoff = 127) and/or Problem Subscale (clinical cutoff = 11) Scales. The number of "yes" responses are counted and averaged. Problem scores range from 0 to 36. A mean score decrease indicates a reduction in parent perception of the number of the problem behaviors.

Clinically significant symptoms are defined by scores more than 2 standard deviations above the normed mean for the Intensity Subscale (clinical cutoff = 127) and/or Problem Subscale (clinical cutoff = 11) Scales. Intensity scores range from 36 to 252. A mean score decrease indicates a reduction in parent perception of the intensity of the problem behavior.
