A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares standard online Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) with BPT plus continuous access to ParenteAI, a 24/7 virtual assistant that offers personalized guidance between sessions. Parents attend eight weekly online group sessions and are randomized to receive the app or not, with outcomes measured at baseline and follow-ups over six months. The primary focus is feasibility and acceptability (utility, satisfaction, therapeutic alliance, attendance, dropout), and secondary outcomes include child disruptive behaviors and irritability and parent depression, anxiety, and stress. Participants are Spanish- or Catalan-speaking primary caregivers of children aged 5–12 with disruptive behavior problems who have regular internet access.
