Tele-PCIT for Healthy Relationships in Families At-Risk
This study is testing a therapy called Telehealth Parent Child Interaction Therapy (Tele-PCIT) for children aged 2 to 7 years who have disruptive behaviors and have experienced adverse childhood events or trauma. Tele-PCIT involves therapists coaching parents on parenting strategies during weekly one-hour sessions, focusing first on positive behaviors and then on managing negative behaviors. The study aims to see if Tele-PCIT helps improve parenting practices, child behavior, and trauma-related symptoms. You might be eligible if your child is between 2 and 7 years old, has disruptive behaviors, and qualifies for Medicaid or is uninsured. The study is currently recruiting participants.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled trial with 50 planned participants. It compares families receiving Tele-PCIT to those on a 12-week delayed start waitlist.
- What's involved
- Participants will attend weekly one-hour Tele-PCIT sessions. All families will complete evaluations at the start, after 12 weeks, and at a 3-month follow-up.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 3 months after the 12-week post-baseline assessment.
