Study summary

Children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) rarely receive behavioral interventions to prevent the long-term costly outcomes of behavior problems. This project will systematically adapt an evidence-based parent training intervention to increase its acceptability and relevance for parents of young DHH children. Effectiveness of the adapted intervention and its implementation with parents of young DHH children followed in "real world" hearing healthcare clinics will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Aim 1: This part of the study convened a Community Advisory Board for input on the study. CAB members were considered collaborators rather than research subjects. They provided no personal data for use in publications or other research dissemination efforts. No adverse event data related to the CAB were collected.

Aim 2: This part of the study involved qualitative interviews with parents and focus groups with stakeholders (speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and teachers of the Deaf) to guide the adaptation of the intervention. There was no intervention in this aim and it was not a clinical trial. No adverse event data related to the qualitative interviews were collected.

Aim 3: Please see Record NCT03483428 for details and results of Aim 3.

Aim 4: This part of the study was a randomized controlled trial of the adapted parent training intervention. Parents of DHH children were randomized to either receive the intervention or to a control condition.

Aim 5: This part of the study is collecting process data about how the intervention was delivered in Aim 4, as well as qualitative data regarding perspectives about the intervention from key stakeholders, including a subset of parents from Aim 4, the interventionists who delivered the intervention, and other stakeholders. There is no intervention in this aim and it is not a clinical trial. No adverse event data will be collected.

Outcome measures

PrimaryParenting Young Children (PARYC) Scale Total Score

On the Parenting Young Children (PARYC) scale, parents self-report use of positive parenting strategies by rating 21 specific parenting behaviors from 1 (not at all) to 7 (most of the time) based on how often in the past month they engaged in each parenting behavior. The PARYC Total Score is the sum of three subscale scores (Supporting Positive Behaviors, Setting Limits, Proactive Parenting) and can range from 21-147 with higher scores indicating more positive parenting practices.

Other pre-specifiedClinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF) - Core Language Score (Standard Scores)

The Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals - Core Language Score (CELF-CLS) assesses language ability. The CELF is an individually administered standardized language assessment that assesses performance across multiple expressive and receptive language subtests. Age-appropriate versions of the CELF were administered (i.e., the CELF-Preschool-3 for children ages 3 and 4 years; the CELF-5 for children ages 5 years and up). On both versions of the CELF, the CLS is a composite score derived from subsets of language subtests appropriate for the child's age, estimating overall language ability by combining receptive and expressive language skills. The CLS standard score has a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Interpretation of CLS standard scores: 130 or higher = very superior; 120-129 = superior; 110-119 = high average; 90-109 = average; 80-89 = low average; 70-79 = moderately low; less than 70 = very low. Higher scores indicate higher levels of language ability.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
