Summary

A multiple family group (MFG) is a family-centered, group delivered, evidence-informed, manualized intervention that targets the most common reason for referral to publicly funded clinics: youth oppositional defiant and conduct disorders. This study will employ a mixed methods Type II effectiveness-implementation hybrid research design.In collaboration with the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), this longitudinal study will be conducted across the New York City (NYC) OMH licensed child behavioral health clinic system (n=134). The investigators will use mixed methods, and involve 268 providers and 2,688 adult caregivers of youth (7 to 11 years).

The following Specific Aims guide this study: To examine 1) short-term and longitudinal impact of MFGs on urban youth with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) (replication); 2) family-level mediators (e.g. parenting, family process) of child outcomes; 3) clinic (readiness to adopt an innovation, leadership support and climate) and provider level moderators (preparedness, motivation and fidelity) of MFG implementation and integration and; 4) the impact of Clinic Implementation Teams (CIT) on clinic and provider level moderators of MFG implementation and integration. In this Randomized Controlled Trial, clinics will be stratified by borough (Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island) and randomly assigned within borough to 3 study conditions: 1) MFG+CITs; 2) MFG (with standard research training and consultation) or; 3) Standard Care. Data will be collected baseline, 8 and 16 weeks and 6 mo. follow-up) in Phase 1 (focus on implementation) and Phase II (integration).

Conditions

  • Mental Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Multiple Family Group + Clinic Implementation Team

Clinic Implementation Teams (CIT) include providers at the clinic that aim to enhance uptake and implementation of MFG through modifications of MFG (e.g., format, length of sessions), but no modification to content will occur.

BEHAVIORAL

MFG

MFG is a 12-week group involving 6-8 families of children with problem behaviors. MFG aims to reduce family-level factors that are associated with the onset and perpetuation of problem behaviors. Eight of the 12 sessions are devoted to rules, responsibilities, respectful communication and relationships. Four additional sessions target family stress and social support.
