Parent Management Training for Child Conduct Disorder: an eCourse for Clinicians

描述(由申请人提供)：VIDA Health Communications，Inc.(VIDA)将制作和评估儿童品行障碍家长管理培训的一个模块：为临床医生提供的电子课程，向治疗儿童品行障碍(CD)的儿童心理健康提供者介绍和演示经过良好验证的治疗技术的电子学习课程。家长管理培训(PMT)由艾伦·卡兹丁博士创建，被列入SAMSHA的全国循证实践和项目登记。借助互联网和心理健康培训案例研究方法的优势，本课程将广泛利用媒体--包括(A)从耶鲁大学育儿中心和儿童行为诊所的真实互动中提取的视频片段，以及(B)VIDA将制作的视频案例研究--以提供培训的焦点，并演示推荐的治疗师与家长之间的互动，这些互动已被证明有助于父母改变患有CD的儿童的行为。第一阶段有四个具体目标：1)确定原型模块的内容和教学设计；2)制作原型；3)评估原型；4)规划第二阶段评估。第一阶段的总体目标是找到最合适的方法，将PMT培训计划从研讨会模式转变为有效的电子学习课程。第一阶段将产生一个原型模块，该模块已经过儿童心理健康从业者的可用性测试。第二阶段的奖励将为开发完整的电子课程和严格设计的评估提供资金。这个SBIR的最终产品将是为帮助CD儿童的精神健康专业人员提供的最先进的多媒体培训计划。 公共卫生相关性：在现代精神病学诊断中，儿童的攻击性和反社会行为在临床上是严重的，并与功能受损有关，被称为品行障碍(CD)。在美国，CD影响到140-420万儿童，受影响的儿童通常涉及多种社会服务--特殊教育、心理健康、少年司法和社会服务，然后是成人刑事司法系统。因此，CD是美国代价最高的心理健康问题之一。这项研究的成果将是一个电子学习课程，培训儿童心理健康提供者有效地利用耶鲁大学育儿中心和儿童行为诊所主任艾伦·卡兹丁博士开发的行之有效的父母管理培训方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vida Health Communications, Inc. (Vida) will produce and evaluate one module of Parent Management Training for Child Conduct Disorder: an eCourse for Clinicians, an e-learning course to introduce and demonstrate well proven therapeutic techniques to child mental health providers who treat children with Conduct Disorder (CD). Parent Management Training (PMT), created by Alan Kazdin, PhD., is included in SAMSHA's National Registry of Evidence-based Practices and Programs. Drawing on the advantages of the Internet and case study approaches to mental health training, the course will make extensive use of media - featuring (a) video vignettes drawn from real interactions at the Yale Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic, and (b) video case studies, which Vida will produce - to provide the focal points for training, and demonstrate recommended therapist-parent interactions which have been shown to help parents modify the behavior of children with CD. There are four specific aims of Phase I: 1) Establish the content and instructional design for a prototype module; 2) Produce the prototype; 3) Assess the prototype; and 4) Plan the Phase II evaluation. The overall goal of Phase I is to find the most appropriate way to translate the PMT training program from a workshop model to an effective e-learning course. Phase I will yield a prototype module that has been tested for usability with child mental health practitioners. A Phase II award will fund the development of the full eCourse and an evaluation with a rigorous design. The final product of this SBIR will be a state-of-the-science multi-media training program for mental health professionals helping children with CD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: In contemporary psychiatric diagnosis, aggressive and antisocial behavior in children that is clinically severe and associated with impaired functioning is referred to as Conduct Disorder (CD). CD affects between 1.4 - 4.2 million children in the US and affected children typically traverse multiple social services - special education, mental health, juvenile justice, and social services and later, adult criminal justice systems. Consequently, CD is among the most costly mental health problems in the United States. The product of this research will be an e-learning course that trains child mental health providers to effectively utilize the well-proven Parent Management Training method developed by Alan Kazdin, PhD, director of the Yale Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic.
