Official title
Reducing Maternal Delay Discounting as a Target Mechanism to Decrease Harsh Parenting and Improve Child Mental Health Outcomes in a Traditionally Underserved Community
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Parents of children from impoverished communities are disproportionately more likely to engage in harsh physical discipline, which can lead to serious clinical outcomes, including suicidal ideation and attempts. One mechanism linking low resource environments and maladaptive parenting strategies is maternal delay discounting, or the tendency to value smaller, immediate rewards (such as stopping children's misbehavior via physical means) relative to larger, but delayed rewards (like improving the parent-child relationship). This study will examine the efficacy of implementing a low-cost, brief intervention targeting the reduction of maternal delay discounting to inform broader public health efforts aimed at improving adolescent mental health outcomes in traditionally underserved communities.
