Tele-PCIT for Disruptive Behavior in Children
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and user-friendliness of a telehealth version of Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for young children at risk of trauma exposure. The study compares families receiving Tele-PCIT with those on a waiting list to determine the telehealth approach's efficacy. It suits parents who are the legal guardians of children aged 2 to 6 with noticeable disruptive behavior and who are either on Medicaid or uninsured. As an unphased trial, this study provides families with access to innovative therapy methods that could enhance their child's well-being.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether participants need to stop taking their current medications.
What prior data suggests that Tele-PCIT is safe for children?
Research shows that Telehealth Parent Child Interaction Therapy (Tele-PCIT) is well-received by families. Studies have found that PCIT, whether conducted in a clinic or through telehealth, effectively manages disruptive behaviors in young children. No evidence suggests serious side effects or safety issues with this approach. Specifically, about 35.8% of caregivers reported significant improvements in their children's behavior after using PCIT online. This indicates that Tele-PCIT is both safe and beneficial for children with disruptive behaviors.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about Tele-PCIT for disruptive behavior in children because it offers a unique way to deliver Parent-Child Interaction Therapy through telehealth. Unlike traditional in-person therapy sessions, Tele-PCIT allows families to participate from the comfort of their homes, making it more accessible and convenient, especially for those in remote areas. This approach could potentially reduce barriers to treatment, such as travel time and scheduling conflicts, while maintaining the effectiveness of the therapy.
What evidence suggests that Tele-PCIT is effective for disruptive behavior in children?
Research has shown that Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) helps reduce disruptive behavior in children. In this trial, some participants will receive Telehealth Parent Child Interaction Therapy (Tele-PCIT), which studies have found can greatly improve children's behavior. This makes it a good option for families unable to attend in-person sessions. For instance, one study found that caregivers noticed better behavior in their children and felt less stressed after the therapy. Another study showed that these benefits were seen in families from different backgrounds. These findings suggest that Tele-PCIT could effectively manage disruptive behaviors in young children.46789
