What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a behavioral parent training program specifically for parents of toddlers who were born very prematurely. It aims to address common behavioral problems such as aggression and defiance that can arise in these children. The program will utilize digital applications and telephone coaching to provide accessible support for parents, helping them manage their child's unique behavioral challenges. By tailoring the intervention to the needs of these families, the research seeks to improve parent engagement and effectiveness of the training.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are parents of toddlers aged 2 years who were born very prematurely (gestational age at birth < 32 weeks).
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit from this research include parents of children who were not born prematurely or those whose children are older than 2 years.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide parents with effective tools and strategies to manage behavioral issues in their toddlers born very premature, leading to better long-term outcomes for the children.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with behavioral parent training programs for children with problem behaviors, but this specific approach for former VPT infants is novel.
