PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to 12 weeks

Population: Data was analyzed from participants with complete data on the measure from both timepoints.

The Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory measures the intensity of child behavior problems. Scores are presented as T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. A T-score of 60 or higher is considered clinically significant. Higher scores indicate more intense behavior problems.
