The problem
Intervention: Well Parent Japan (WPJ): a hybrid group parent training programme combining sessions to improve mothers' psychological well-being with a culturally adapted version of the New Forest Parenting Programme
Who it was tested with: 124 mothers of 6-12-year-old children with DSM-5 ADHD in Japanese child mental health services (WPJ n=65, TAU n=59).
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"TRANSFORM was a pragmatic multi-site randomised controlled trial (RCT) with two parallel arms. Altogether 124 mothers of 6-12-year-old children with DSM-5 ADHD were randomised to WPJ (n = 65) or TAU (n = 59). Participants were assessed at baseline, post-treatment and three-month follow-up." The study used rigorous experimental design with randomisation, a comparison group, and multiple measurement points to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in routine practice.
Secondary outcomes mostly relied on maternal self-report and were not significantly different between groups for several measures including child behaviour and impairment. Objective measures of parent-child relationship were only collected at baseline and post-treatment.
