Matching treatment for kids with disruptive behavior and their parents
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study aims to find the best treatment approach for children with disruptive behavior by matching them to either group or individual therapy. It could help if your child struggles with behavior like defiance or conduct issues, and you're willing to participate in treatment.
