What this Trial Is About
This research aims to explore how emotion regulation affects treatment outcomes in children aged 6 to 12 years diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). It focuses on whether matching treatment to a child's level of emotion regulation difficulty can improve results. The study divides participants into two groups based on their emotion regulation skills: high emotion dysregulation and low emotion dysregulation. It then compares the effects of two treatments within these groups. Participants will receive one of two types of behavioral interventions. One is a parent management training program designed to help parents increase compliance and reduce disruptive behaviors in their children. The other is a child-directed cognitive behavioral therapy called Tuning Your Temper, which focuses on problem solving, emotion regulation, and reducing arousal. Treatments are given in individual sessions, and children are randomly assigned to one of the two treatments within their emotion regulation group. Children will be assessed before and after treatment, as well as at 6 and 18 months follow-up. Researchers will use rating scales and structured interviews to measure disruptive behavior, emotional symptoms, social skills, parental stress, and quality of life. Comorbid conditions will also be evaluated as possible factors influencing treatment effects. The total study period includes treatment and long-term monitoring to understand how well the interventions work over time.
