processes (e.g., family organization, caregiver/child interaction, cohesion, support) and perceptions related to
help seeking (e.g., stigma) on CBH and functioning; and assess whether these change mechanism mediate intervention effects on DBD symptoms and behavioral functioning, and explore moderation by context specific moderators of intervention effects.
Aim 3: Qualitatively examine participants’ experiences with each intervention arm.
