Parent Training Targeting Externalizing Behaviors in Children in Primary Care: A Randomized Non-inferiority Study of the Comet-program Delivered Via the Internet or in Group Format.

Completed Not Applicable NCT03465384

Study Description

The Comet-program is a Swedish parent training program developed to target externalizing behaviors in children between 3-11 years. The program is normally delivered in group format in primary and specialized care and has already been evaluated in several studies. The internet-based version of the program has also been evaluated separately, but in this study the two formats will be directly compared in a randomized non-inferiority study. Parent ratings, child ratings as well as blinded clinical assessments will be conducted before the interventions, after the interventions (2-3 month after start of intervention), and at follow-up (12 mont after first assessment). The primary research question is: Will the internet-based format of Comet be at least as effective as the group format in reducing externalizing behaviors? Secondary research questions concern possible differential effects of the two formats on cost-effectiveness, parenting behaviors, parent mental health, applicability and consumer satisfaction, and the children's quality of life.
