called Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) offered at a primary care office can help
improve behavior problems in children who are 2-6 years old.
The study will be a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the CARE intervention. The study
will include 2-6 year old children who receive their primary care at the Children's Hospital
of Philadelphia, South Philadelphia Primary Care clinic and whose caregiver and/or doctor has
concern about a behavior problem in the child. The caregivers will also be subjects in the
study.
Child-caregiver pairs who agree to be in the study will be randomly assigned to receive the
CARE training immediately or in 3-4 months.
The CARE intervention will last 6 weeks and child behavior and parenting will be measured at
baseline, 6-8 weeks, and 14-18 weeks. Investigators will also measure parent satisfaction
with the CARE intervention.
- Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) is a group parent training program.
- The goals of the program are to teach parents skills that help their children
successfully reach developmental milestones while increasing positive behaviors.
- The program also was designed to help parents manage and decrease negative child
behaviors.
- Each training will be led by 2 therapists and 4-10 parents will attend the CARE program
together.
- Children do not attend the training but parents are encouraged to practice the skills
learned at CARE between the sessions.
