研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the invest in Play (iiP) parent program can reduce problem behaviors in children and improve parenting practices in families with children who show challenging behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer is:
• Does the iiP program reduce children's problem behaviors?
Researchers will compare families in the iiP program to families in a control group to see if the program leads to better outcomes for children and parents.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either the iiP program group or the control group and complete surveys before and after the program to see if iiP is reducing children's problem behaviors.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
The control condition will receive usual care, e.g., further assessments, school meetings, individual care and/or psycho education.
Invest in Play group
Intervention group receiving Invest in Play (iiP), a 12 session program provided weekly to parents with children with problem behavior.
干预措施: Intervention (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) score at different time points (from baseline up to 12 weeks).
时间窗: From baseline to the end of treatment at 12 weeks.
Child problem behavior will be measured using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI), where the change score from baseline to 12 weeks post intervention is the primary outcome. The measure consists of 36 items, which is scored on parents' notion about the intensity (1 = never to 7 = always), and whether child behavior is a problem (0 = no and 1 = yes, range 0-36). A total score is calculated, ranging from range 36-252. High intensity scores indicate more intense problems, and a high problem score indicate a higher frequency of problem behaviors. The ECBI has demonstrated strong internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and discriminant validity and has been shown to be a sensitive indicator of intervention efficacy for child behavior problems.
