externalising child behaviour.
SD interventions had a large effect on parent report of
externalising child behaviour (SMD = 1.01, 95 % CI: 0.77 — 1.24); although this effect was not upheld by analyses of observed child behaviour.
SD interventions are associated with improvements in parental perception of
externalising child behaviour and parental behaviour and well - being.
