ABSTRACT

Telehealth treatment for child disruptive behavior has the potential to overcome multiple barriers to access (e.g., transportation, therapist availability). Traditional Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) has demonstrated efficacy via telehealth in randomized controlled trials. The current study extends this research by examining community-based effectiveness of time-limited (i.e., 18 week) telehealth PCIT, comparing intake and posttreatment child behavior and caregiver skills for both telehealth and in-person PCIT. Participants included predominantly racially, ethnically, linguistically, and socioeconomically diverse children aged 2 to 8 years, and their caregivers. Dyads (N = 380) received either telehealth (IPCIT) or in-person PCIT.Propensity score analyses were conducted to address potential selection bias due to the nonrandomized sample. Regression analyses revealed no difference between IPCIT and in-person treatment for child disruptive behaviors or compliance outcomes. However, caregivers who received IPCIT demonstrated fewer positive statements and greater corrective/directive statements at posttreatment than caregivers who received in-person treatment.This research demonstrated that time-limited IPCIT can effectively improve child disruptive behavior among a socioeconomically, linguistically, and culturally diverse population, and represents the largest sample to date demonstrating the effectiveness of PCIT via telehealth. Future research is warranted to document intervention sustainability on a more system-wide level, and balance prioritizing caregiver skill acquisition over family-derived treatment goals.

ABSTRACT

Use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs (i.e., substance use) is a leading cause of global health burden for 10-to-24-year-olds, according to the World Health Organization's index of number of years of life lost, leading international health organizations to prioritize the prevention of substance use before it escalates in adolescence. Pathways defined by childhood externalizing symptoms and internalizing symptoms identify precursors to frequent substance use toward which interventions can be directed. However, these pathways are rarely examined beyond the United States and Europe. We investigated these pathways in our sample of 1083 children from 10 cultural groups followed from ages 8-14. We found that age-10 externalizing symptoms predicted more frequent mother-reported age-13 and self-reported age-14 substance use. We also found that a depressive pathway, marked by behavioral inhibition at age 8 and subsequent elevation in depressive symptoms across ages 8-12 predicted more frequent substance use at age 13 and 14. Additionally, we found a combined externalizing and internalizing pathway, wherein elevated age-9 depressive symptoms predicted elevated externalizing symptoms at age-10 which predicted greater peer support for use at age-12, which led to more frequent substance use at age-13 and -14. These pathways remained significant within the cultural groups we studied, even after controlling for differences in substance use frequency across groups. Additionally, cultures with greater opportunities for substance use at age-12 had more frequent adolescent substance use at age-13. These findings highlight the importance of disaggregating between- and within-culture effects in identifying the etiology of early adolescent substance use.
