Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary Outcome: Pre-post change in effective parenting and childrens behavioral problems at T2 (Baseline) and T3 (Post-Assessement (end of family coaching) as well as at T2 (Baseline) and T4 (Follow-up, after 6 months) in dependence of the number of home-based sessions carried out. Childrens behavioral problems are being assessed with the German versions of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI; Eyberg 1990), the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; Goodman, 1997), the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Deutsche Arbeitsgruppe, 1998), a questionnaire regarding callous-unemotional behavior (CU; Dadds, Fraser, Frost, & Hawes, 2005), and either the Strukturiertes Interview für das Vorschulalter (SIVA; Bolten, Equit, In-Albon & von Gontard) or the Diagnostisches Interview bei psychischen Störungen im Kinder- und Jugendalter (Kinder-DIPS; Schneider, Unnewehr & Margraf, 2009). Effective parenting is measured using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI; Eyberg 1990), a questionnaire assessing positive parenting (FZEV; Strayhorn und Weidmann, 1988) and video recordings of a standardized parent-child-interaction. Raters will be blinded to the assessd intervention phase	—
