Answered by AI

What are the aims of this research endeavor?

"The primary indicator of success for this trial, which is evaluated over 8 weeks, is change in Alabama Parenting Questionnaire scores. Secondary objectives include the Acceptability and Feasibility of Intervention Measure administered to parents at the end of their intervention window (8 week separation) and providers/therapists before/after the pilot year (1 year separation). Additionally Readiness to Change - Patient Preferences Subscale Score will also be measured on a 1-5 scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree with an additional not applicable option. High scores indicate greater acceptability and are reported by providers & therapists before and after one full year post-trial."
