ABC+D Trial Summary

This trial looks at whether an intervention that treats both mothers and children together is more effective than treating just one or the other.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for mothers over 18 with significant depressive symptoms and their biological children aged 2-4 who show heightened behavior problems. Mothers must score at least 16 on the CESD-R depression scale, and children need a score of 18+ on the ECSA behavior assessment. It's not for those with a child diagnosed with autism or mothers with psychosis or active suicidality.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an integrated treatment approach addressing both maternal depression and children's behavioral issues simultaneously. One group receives Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) plus additional depression therapy, while another just gets ABC to see if combined treatment is more effective.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves psychological interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress as they address sensitive personal issues during therapy sessions.
