Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Child mental health measured using The Parent Account of Child Symptoms (PACS) interview with parent at baseline and at 16 weeks post-randomisation for both arms of the trial. This comparison will inform the primary efficacy objective (PPCP arm versus Waiting List). The PACS will also be employed at 32 weeks (end of treatment for the PPCP arm and start of treatment for the PLES arm), and again at 48 weeks post randomisation for the PLES arm. This design allows for longer-term follow-up of the active treatments (PPCP and PLES). | — |
