Brief Summary

This study is a hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial of the Family Check-Up 4 Health (FCU4Health), an adapted version of the Family Check-Up, in pediatric primary care.

Detailed Description

The FCU4Health is an assessment-driven, Motivational Interviewing (MI) based, parent training program.
