Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The main parameters of this study are the change in behaviour problems of the<br /><br>children, the change in the advice about the necessity of out-of-home placement<br /><br>that the professionals make based on the regular care or VIPP-APP, and the<br /><br>change in the certainty of the advice. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The secondary outcome measures are the neurobiological parameters of stress<br /><br>regulation of mother and child, the change in the quality of the attachment<br /><br>relationship between the child and the mother and the change in parenting<br /><br>skills of the mother. Again, we will test whether there are differences on<br /><br>these parameters between the VIPP-APP and control group.<br /><br><br /><br>Table 1 in the research protocol (page 23) provides an overview of all the<br /><br>measurements.</p><br>
