Study Details

This study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary impacts of a new parent support program consisting of a series of educational videos, automatically delivered via a popular texting platform. The program content is focused on teaching parents strategies to better manage interactions with children in challenging situations many children experience, e.g., a transition to a non-preferred activity, waiting for delayed reward. Parents with children demonstrating inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive behavior and experiencing difficulties with these daily challenges are invited to participate in the study.
