Follow-Up as Usual
This is an app developed for use on a smartphone providing a flexible digital space where parents can get support and advice to help them manage their children's behaviour. The app will be free and parents will be able to access the information when needed and in the order they choose. Parents in the intervention group will receive access during the immediate post-randomisation period.
FAU was selected as a comparator because of the pragmatic nature of the trial. Individuals randomised to FAU will receive no intervention for the first 10 weeks while the data for baseline (T1), T2 and T3 are collected. They will then be given access to all three zones of the app.
