“…Caretakers’ self-efficacy, burn-out symptoms and job satisfaction will be assessed with the Burnout Screening Scale, a composite instrument comprising different questionnaires [84–88]. In the intervention group, the clients’ and trainers’ satisfaction with the programme will be assessed (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire/Training Satisfaction Questionnaire) [19]. …”

“…To assess adherence and competence, two training sessions of the programme (one in unit 1, one in unit 2) will be either directly attended by one START NOW supervisor or videotaped. The quality check (Quality Assurance Form [QAF] [19]) will be focused on adherence to the content of the programme and basic trainer competencies (use of motivation interviewing, rolling with resistance, validation).…”

“…In its original format, START NOW is a manualised, group-based skills training programme designed for use within correctional institutions. The focus of the intervention is on (1) increasing self-control over impulses, (2) enhancing emotion recognition and regulation, (3) making judgements and decisions on the basis of consequences and (4) improving stress management and coping skills [19]. START NOW is an integrative evidence-informed intervention based on several therapeutic approaches.…”

“…More specifically, a dose-response relationship was found: Zero-inflated negative binomial regression analyses indicated that each additional session was associated with a 5% reduction in the incidence rate of disciplinary infractions. Furthermore, participation in the skills training yielded high satisfaction rates and reduced psychiatric hospitalisation days [19, 64]. It was therefore concluded that the intervention programme represents a viable treatment option for reducing problem behaviour in incarcerated populations.…”

BackgroundIn Europe, the number of females exhibiting oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) is growing. Many of these females live in youth welfare institutions. Consequently, there is a great need for evidence-based interventions within youth welfare settings. A recently developed approach targeting the specific needs of girls with ODD and CD in residential care is START NOW. The aim of this group-based behavioural skills training programme is to specifically enhance emotional regulation capacities to enable females with CD or ODD to appropriately deal with daily-life demands. It is intended to enhance psychosocial adjustment and well-being as well as reduce oppositional and aggressive behaviour. We present the study protocol (version 4.1; 10 February 2016) of the FemNAT-CD intervention trial titled ‘Group-Based Treatment of Adolescent Female Conduct Disorders: The Central Role of Emotion Regulation’.Methods/designThe study is a prospective, confirmatory, cluster-randomised, parallel-group, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial with 128 institutionalised female adolescents who fulfil the diagnostic criteria of ODD and/or CD. Institutions/wards will be randomised either to provide the 12-week skills training as an add-on intervention or to provide treatment as usual. Once the first cycle is completed, each institution will run a second cycle with the opposite condition. Primary endpoints are the pre-post change in number of CD/ODD symptoms as assessed by a standardised, semi-structured psychiatric interview (Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children–Present and Lifetime, CD/ODD section) between baseline and the end of intervention, as well as between baseline and a 3-month follow-up point. Secondary objectives include pre-post change in CD/ODD-related outcome measures, most notably emotional regulation on a behavioural and neurobiological level after completion of START NOW compared with treatment as usual.DiscussionTo our knowledge, this study is the first to date to systematically investigate the effectiveness of an adapted integrative psychosocial intervention designed for female adolescents with ODD and CD in youth welfare settings.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) identifier: DRKS00007524.
