Summary

This trial will test an adapted version of an evidence-based parent training intervention to help parents of young deaf and hard of hearing children, in order to prevent costly long-term behavioral problems.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents aged 18 or older who are the custodial guardians of a deaf or hard of hearing child aged between 3 and 6 years. The parent must speak/understand English or use American Sign Language, live in a state with support services for DHH children, and have no active child protective services cases.
What is being tested?
The study is testing an adapted behavioral parent training intervention designed specifically for families with young deaf and hard of hearing children to see if it helps prevent behavior problems. It will be implemented in real-world clinical settings.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral intervention rather than a medical treatment, traditional side effects like those seen with medications are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects on family dynamics as parenting strategies change.
