4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to compare two versions of Mental Health Enhanced Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports in reducing aggression in middle school students.
This is an open pilot trial of web-based parent training for tantrums and disruptive behavior in children. Parents will be asked to complete a battery of tests to assess their children' behaviors before and after the intervention. Children will undergo a psychiatric evaluation as part of screening. The intervention will be delivered online via an app over a period of 6 weeks. It consists of 8 self-guided courses that take approximately 10 minutes to complete and include text and animated parent-child simulations. Parents will also complete 3 one-hour videoconferencing sessions with a study clinician. During the intervention, parents will be taught various strategies for managing situations that can be anger provoking for their child. This study is conducted to examine whether a digitally-delivered version of parent-management training can be used to reduce behavioral problems including anger outbursts, irritability, aggression and noncompliance.
I: Conduct Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for children (DBT-C) in residential as compared with Treatment-As-Usual (TAU) (60 children in DBT-C and 60 children in the comparison condition). II: Finalize therapist training manuals and educational materials to guide selection, training, and supervision of treatment providers.
This study will determine the safety and effectiveness of two medications for treating aggression in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
