Scientific title	A randomised controlled trial of the Triple P Parent Programme with parents of children at risk of developing conduct disorder in six clusters across Birmingham City
Study objectives	1. There will be an improvement in parenting competencies following parent training 2. Children whose parents received parent training will show a reduced problem behaviour and hyperactivity, and improved social competence 3. The programme will offer value for money and net benefit to the Council
Ethics approval(s)	Warren House Group Ethics Committee, 05/03/2009, ref: WHG 2009-1
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Conduct disorder (CD)
Intervention	The 8-week Triple P Parent Programme will be delivered in Schools/Children Centres as an intervention to parents of children already displaying problematic behaviour in order to reduce the likelihood of children developing conduct disorder. The waiting list control group will be offered the intervention after the final follow up, 12 months after baseline.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	Total child difficulties, measured using the parent completed Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The subscales of conduct, peer relationships and hyperactivity problems, social competence, and the impact supplement, which assesses the impact problem behaviour can have in other areas of life, will also be analysed. The clinical cut-off is 17 for total difficulties - the higher the score the worse the problems. This measure will be administered at baseline, and the 6- and 12-month follow-ups.
Secondary outcome measures	Parent report at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow-ups: 1. 36-item Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory (ECBI), to assess child problem behaviours on the index child and sibling closest in age. Each behaviour is rated on two scales: 1.1. 7-point Intensity Scale, measures how often the behaviour is perceived to occur, ranging in response intensity from 1 (never) to 7 (always) 1.2. Yes-No Problem Scale, identifies whether the behaviour is currently seen as a problem for the parent 2. Demographics Questionnaire administered at baseline to assess background family characteristics; a follow-up version will be administered at both follow-ups to establish any factors that may impact on the results 3. Parenting Scale, to assess parenting competencies. There is no cut-off but the higher the score on the 7-point Likert Scale the less competent, or skilled, the parent. 4. Adapted Service Use Questionnaire, to establish amount and type of health, social and education services accessed by the main caretaker and index child. This information will be used to calculate cost effectiveness and future cost benefits.
