Summary

This trial will compare the outcomes of two groups of neglecting parents, one of which received an intervention in infancy. It is expected that the intervention group will be more nurturing and follow their children's lead more, and that the children will have better outcomes in various areas than the control group.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children who have been diagnosed with Conduct Disorder, ADHD, or Depression and were part of an earlier clinical trial. It focuses on the long-term effects of a parenting intervention given during infancy.
What is being tested?
The study tests if early childhood interventions like Developmental Education for Families and Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up can lead to better nurturing by parents and improved child outcomes in areas such as attachment, self-control, emotion management, and social interactions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from participating in the therapy sessions.
