Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Change of child problem behaviour; assessed by the Strengts & Difficulties
Questionnaire, en de Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory.
Secondary outcome
Change in parenting and parental behaviour, assessed by Parenting Scale
Inventory (discipline styles as laxness, overreactivity, and verbosity).
Problem Setting and Behavior Checklist (parenting competence), Nijmeegse
Ouderlijke Stress Index (parents* perceived stress due to parenting),
Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in
adults).
Background summary
Psychosocial problems, such as fear, anxiety and depression, occur frequently
in children and may lead to serious restrictions in daily functioning. Dutch
Preventive Child Healthcare (PCH, *jeugdgezondheidszorg*) can play an important
role in their prevention including early treatment, since it reaches more than
90% of all children. The Triple P program is likely to fit the needs of PCH
regarding parenting support, but its effectiveness in Dutch PCH has to be shown
as yet.
Study objective
