“…PriCARE/CARIÑO was developed with input from and evaluated in underserved families. The existing evidence base favoring its efficacy is strong [38][39][40][41]. Three RCTs and one pre/post pilot have demonstrated improvements in key proximal outcomes, including child behavior problems, harsh parenting, and parent stress scores.…”

“…Three randomized controlled trials demonstrate that PriCARE/CARIÑO decreases child behavior problems, harsh and permissive parenting, and parent stress, but we have not previously examined the occurrence of CM or CM risk scores as outcomes [38][39][40][41]. Furthermore, though we have addressed multiple implementation challenges [42], we have yet to rigorously assess implementation determinants (barriers/facilitators) related to referrals, enrollment, and attendance that can inform the development of strategies for implementing and scalingup PriCARE/CARIÑO.…”

Background Child maltreatment (CM) is a pervasive public health problem and there is a critical need for brief, effective, scalable prevention programs. Problematic parent-child relationships lie at the heart of CM. Parents who maltreat their children are more likely to have punitive parenting styles characterized by high rates of negative interaction and ineffective discipline strategies with over-reliance on punishment. Thus, parenting interventions that strengthen parent-child relationships, teach positive discipline techniques, decrease harsh parenting, and decrease child behavioral problems hold promise as CM prevention strategies. Challenges in engaging parents, particularly low-income and minority parents, and a lack of knowledge regarding effective implementation strategies, however, have greatly limited the reach and impact of parenting interventions. Child Adult Relationship Enhancement in Primary Care (PriCARE)/Criando Niños con CARIÑO is a 6-session group parenting intervention that holds promise in addressing these challenges because PriCARE/CARIÑO was (1) developed and iteratively adapted with input from racially and ethnically diverse families, including low-income families and (2) designed specifically for implementation in primary care with inclusion of strategies to align with usual care workflow to increase uptake and retention. Methods This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms. Children, 2–6 years old with Medicaid/CHIP/no insurance, and their English- and Spanish-speaking caregivers recruited from pediatric primary care clinics in Philadelphia and North Carolina will be enrolled. Caregivers assigned to the intervention regimen will attend PriCARE/CARIÑO and receive usual care. Caregivers assigned to the control regimen will receive usual care only. The primary outcome is occurrence of an investigation for CM by child protective services during the 48 months following completion of the intervention. In addition, scores for CM risk, child behavior problems, harsh and neglectful parenting behaviors, caregiver stress, and caregiver-child interactions will be assessed as secondary outcome measures and for investigation of possible mechanisms of intervention-induced change. We will also identify PriCARE/CARIÑO implementation factors that may be barriers and facilitators to intervention referrals, enrollment, and attendance. Discussion By evaluating proximal outcomes in addition to the distal outcome of CM, this study, the largest CM prevention trial with individual randomization, will help elucidate mechanisms of change and advance the science of CM prevention. This study will also gather critical information on factors influencing successful implementation and how to optimize intervention referrals, enrollment, and attendance to inform future dissemination and practical applications. Trial registration This trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05233150) on February 1, 2022, prior to enrolling subjects.

Purpose of reviewThere are a wide range of psychosocial treatment options, delivered in different modalities, for children with disruptive behaviour. However, clinicians face many challenges in ensuring the empirically supported treatments (ESTs) they select will be effective for their patient. This has prompted studies to generate knowledge on how to improve treatment outcomes for children with disruptive behaviour. This review identifies the major challenges in treatment selection as well as emerging research seeking to improve outcomes.Recent findingsThis review emphasizes the salience of the research-practice gap associated with establishing ESTs using narrow definitions of clinical problems. Recent research is reviewed considering the complex determinants of disruptive behaviours, including parent and family factors that influence outcomes. The review subsequently outlines recent advances in research and clinical practice guidelines aiming to surmount these challenges. Key advances discussed include examining the most impactful components of ESTs, personalizing interventions by targeting core dysfunction underlying behaviour, and addressing parent factors including mental health and cultural relevance to improve outcomes.SummaryThorough assessment of patients’ needs, combined with knowledge of treatment response predictors, are recommended to determine the most suitable treatment plan. Recent advances have focused on developing and designing interventions that meet needs in a way that is flexible and tailored.

Background: This practical implementation report describes a primary care-based group parenting intervention—Child–Adult Relationship Enhancement in Primary Care (PriCARE)—and the approach taken to understand and strengthen the referral process for PriCARE within a pediatric primary care clinic through the deployment of synergistic implementation strategies to promote physician referrals. PriCARE has evidence of effectiveness for reducing child behavior problems, harsh and permissive parenting, and parent stress from three randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The integration of evidence-based parenting interventions into pediatric primary care is a promising means for widespread dissemination. Yet, even when integrated into this setting, the true reach will depend on parents knowing about and attending the intervention. A key factor in this process is the endorsement of and referral to the intervention by the child's pediatrician. Therefore, identifying strategies to improve physician referrals to parenting interventions embedded in primary care is worthy of investigation. Method: Through lessons learned from the RCTs and key informant interviews with stakeholders, we identified barriers and facilitators to physician referrals of eligible parent–child dyads to PriCARE. Based on this data, we selected and implemented five strategies to increase the PriCARE referral rate. We outline the selection process, the postulated synergistic interactions, and the results of these efforts. Conclusions: The following five discrete strategies were implemented: physician reminders, direct advertising to patients, incentives/public recognition, interpersonal patient narratives, and audit and feedback. These discrete strategies were synergistically combined to create a multifaceted approach to improve physician referrals. Following implementation, referrals increased from 13% to 55%. Continued development, application, and evaluation of implementation strategies to promote the uptake of evidence-based parenting interventions into general use in the primary care setting are discussed. Plain Language Summary There is strong evidence that parenting interventions are effective at improving child behavioral health outcomes when delivered in coordination with pediatric primary care. However, there is a lack of focus on the implementation, including the screening and referral process, of parenting interventions in the primary care setting. This is contributing to the delay in the scale-up of parenting interventions and to achieving public health impact. To address this gap, we identified barriers and facilitators to physician screening and referrals to a primary care-based parenting intervention, and selected and piloted five synergistic strategies to improve this critical process. This effort successfully increased physician referrals of eligible patients to the intervention from 13% to 55%. This demonstration project may help advance the implementation of evidence-based interventions by providing an example of how to develop and execute multilevel strategies to improve intervention referrals in a local context.
