| Scientific title | A randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the Incredible Years BASIC parent training programme |
| Study objectives | 1. Compared to baseline, there will be a significant reduction of child behaivoural deviancy and an increase in prosocial behaviour 2. Compared to baseline, there will be a significant increase in positive parenting and a significant reduction in harsh parenting. A significant improvement in self-reported parenting competence and a reduction in parent distress is also hypothesised. |
| Ethics approval(s) | National University of Ireland, Maynooth Ethics Committee, approved on 05/11/2007 (ref: 190907) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Emotional and behavioural/conduct problems in childhood, parent-child relationships |
| Intervention | Participants will be randomly assigned, at a 2:1 ratio, to an intervention or control (waiting list) group. IY Basic parent programme 12 weekly group sessions (2.5 hours) will be held. There will be approximately 9 groups with 12 participants in each group. The intervention promotes positive parenting by increasing positive child behaviour through praise and incentives. Parent-child relationships are improved through the promotion of child-directed play. The intervention provides parents with non-aversive tactics for dealing with problem behaviour. A collaborative approach using role play, modelling, group discussions and analysis of video material is used and parents are helped to identify social learning principles.
