Opvoedingsondersteunings programma Triple P.

200 multi-problem families are included. 100 families receive the 'Triple P family intervention for severe behavioural problems in children' and 100 families receive the 'care as usual'.

The tested intervention (level 5 intervention of Triple P, an intensive individual training for the family of children with behavioural problems) will cause a decrease in behavioural problems in children, dysfunctional parenting styles in parents, and depression, anxiety and stressin parents. Furthermore it will cause an increase in parenting competences in parents.

The Triple P-Positive Parenting Program consists of five levels, ranging from brief and broad support to parents in dealing with a child who exhibits behavioural problems to an intensive family intervention (level 5). This intervention is aimed at family dysfunction and serious behavioural problems in a child. It offers intensive individual training for the family (around eleven sessions of one hour each, divided in modules), focusing on the child’s behavioural problems (in combination with problems of the parents such as conflict between the partners, depression and stress).
