研究组 & 干预措施
LANG-arm
The comparator, LANG-arm, consists of 4 storybooks with accompanying audioplayer. These are provided to parents of participants to complete with their child. Each storybook explicitly teaches the story structure of problem, followed by goal & action, and then by outcome, repeated across storybooks. There are 8 target words that are repeated and taught throughout the programme, which are different words from the CB-arm. Each of the 4 storybooks is read twice per week, resulting in 8 sessions, which are expected to last between 15-20 minutes each.
干预措施: Language (Device)
CB-arm
The CB-arm consists of 4 storybooks with accompanying audio narration file. These are provided to parents of participants to complete with their child. Each storybook focuses on one cognitive behavioural strategy, namely relaxation, social skills, exposure and cognitive techniques, while all books include psychoeducation. Each CBT element is linked to two words for a total of 8 target words, which are repeated across the storybooks. Each storybook follows a 'feeling-problem-solution' narrative structure. Storybooks also contain descriptions of CBT elements, and questions guiding parents to practice these with their children. Each of the 4 storybooks is read twice per week, resulting in 8 sessions, which are expected to last between 15-20 minutes each.
