Re-Implementation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in the Community: Findings From a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study explored the feasibility, acceptability, and Māori cultural responsivity of study methods and components of an intervention to support clinicians to resume implementation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based treatment for disruptive behavior in young children.

Method

This pragmatic, parallel-arm, randomized, controlled pilot trial ran for a 6-month period and included PCIT-trained clinicians who were not delivering, or only rarely using PCIT in their work. Re-implementation strategies were systematically developed and theory-driven and included a mobile co-worker, a portable time-out space, audio-visual equipment, weekly consultation groups, and 2-day targeted PCIT refresher training.
