Implementation of a parent training intervention (SPARCK) to prevent childhood mental health problems: study protocol for a pragmatic implementation trial in Norwegian municipalities.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective evidence-based interventions (EBI) are necessary to prevent and avoid negative life trajectories for children with mental health problems. Even though many EBIs prove effective when tested, few are successfully implemented and used in real-world clinical practice. As a result, many children and families do not receive the best care in due time or at all. To reduce this research-practice gap, a combined RCT and implementation study of Supportive Parents-Coping Kids (SPARCK), a parent training intervention to prevent childhood mental health problems, will be performed. This study protocol concerns the implementation part of the larger effectiveness-implementation project.

Methods

The study is a correlational multi-site implementation study of SPARCK perfor
