Brief Parent Training for Children With Behavioral Difficulties in Primary Care Settings

A brief behavioral parent training program that combines individually-tailored stimulus control and contingency management techniques to treat children's behavioral difficulties in two (bi)weekly training sessions of 120 minutes, and a third session of 60 minutes, in which the training will be evaluated and maintenance training will be provided.

Care as usual may include all mental health care that is usually provided within or outside (e.g., at a child mental healthcare institution or at school) the general practitioners practice, except from pharmacological treatment for children's behavioral difficulties and/or behavioral parent training/support, up until the first posttreatment assessment (T1). Care as usual can also imply that there is no support or treatment.
