Optimizing Treatment for Depressed Parents of Children With Emotional and Behavioural Problems (OPTED)

2026년 8월 4일 업데이트: Brendan Andrade, University of Toronto

Optimizing Treatment for Depressed Parents of Children With Emotional and Behavioural Problems (OPTED): A Randomized and Controlled Trial

Standard Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) is often less effective for parents experiencing depression. As such, the Addressing Depression and Positive Parenting Techniques (ADAPT) intervention is a novel BPT tailored to address the unique emotional and cognitive needs of depressed parents to improve treatment outcomes.

The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of ADAPT in reducing child emotional and behavioral difficulties compared to the gold-standard Incredible Years Parenting Program (IYPP).

This study is a 4-year, individually-randomized group treatment (IRGT), parallel-group trial. We aim to recruit 180 caregivers and their children (aged 6-11 years) seeking treatment for their child's emotional and behavioral difficulties from multiple mental health centres across Toronto, including but not limited to the University of Toronto, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), and Women's College Hospital (WCH).

Participants will be asked to complete research measures:

  • before randomization
  • post-treatment
  • 6 months after the end of treatment

Participants will be randomized to either the experimental ADAPT intervention - A 10-session virtual program (1 individual, 9 group) focused on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and cognitive restructuring, or the control intervention: Incredible Years Parent Program (IYPP) - A 12-session gold-standard BPT delivered virtually.

실험적: ADAPT Treatment
Participants in the experimental arm will receive the novel Addressing Depression and Positiving Parenting Techniques (ADAPT) treatment. ADAPT is a targeted treatment adapted by the Co-PI based on the Parenting a Child Who Has Intense Emotions program. The treatment has modules that help parents build emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance skills, and helpful ways of thinking about their parenting. The program also contains components of standard behavioural parent training, including strategies to build family structure, routines, and predictable parenting responses to children's behavioral challenges. Additionally, ADAPT includes elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), an effective intervention for the treatment of adults and youth with dysregulated emotion and behavior.
ADAPT is a 10-session virtual caregiver program (one individual engagement session and nine group sessions) that was developed with clinician and parent input. The initial engagement session is an individual meeting between the group facilitator and parent to build rapport and learn about the parent's unique challenges and parenting needs. Based on a motivational interviewing framework, this session is designed to gather information, discuss readiness for treatment and goals. The questions and tools used in this session help to build a collaborative understanding of unique child and parent needs that may be addressed through ADAPT and leave the parent with the hope that ADAPT can be helpful. The 9 virtual group treatment sessions that follow include modules to help parents understand the multiple potential contributions to their child's emotional/behavioral challenges, build their own emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance skills, and more helpful ways of thinking.
활성 비교기: Incredible Years Parenting Program (IYPP)
Participants randomized to the control arm will receive the Incredible Years Parenting Program (IYPP). IYPP is a best-practice and widely used treatment for parents of children with EBD.
The 12-session manualized treatment is considered a gold-standard treatment because it has shown efficacy in large-scale randomized and controlled trials and meta-analyses. Parents are helped to shift their children's emotional and behavioral difficulties through improved parental skills and competencies with behaviour management, and a parental problem-solving approach. IYPP will be delivered virtually.
