Further, significant improvement was found for efficacy (B = − 6.72, 95 % CI − 8.15 to − 5.28, p < 0.001) and satisfaction (B = − 4.48, 95 % CI − 6.27 to − 2.69, p < 0.001) for
parents in the intervention group.
Results The results indicated that

parents in the intervention group reported higher scores than those in the UC group on the aggressive behavior subscale (7.74 vs 6.80; adjusted β, 0.83 [95 % CI, 0.37 - 1.30]-RRB-, although neither group reached a subscale score of clinical significance (the cutoff for this age is 22 years)(Table 3).14 There were no group differences in reported sleep problems or problems with depression or anxiety.
