Integration of DBT Skills and Parent Training for Parents With a History of Substance Use

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parenting, Substance Abuse Relapse, Emotional Regulation

In brief

This treatment development study is aimed at developing and pilot testing a 20-week remotely delivered group intervention that integrates two evidence-based treatments: 1) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills - targeting parental emotion dysregulation and substance use, and 2) Parent Training (PT) - targeting parenting behaviors linked to children's mental health. The case study will provide preliminary data on the feasibility of the DBT Skills +PT intervention and its engagement of the targeted outcomes, and aims to complete foundational steps necessary to conducting a future, larger scale randomized controlled trial. Specific aims are to: 1. Determine feasibility, acceptability and implementation. 2. Evaluate pre-post changes in measures of parental emotion dysregulation, parenting quality and children's mental health.
