Treatment Priorities for Children and Adolescents with Disruptive Behaviours and Callous-Unemotional Traits
Title: Treatment Priorities for Children and Adolescents with Disruptive Behaviours and Callous-Unemotional Traits
Description: We are exploring treatment priorities for youths with disruptive behaviours and comorbid callous-unemotional traits (characterised by low empathy, low remorse/guilt, lack of care for others) to ultimately inform how to adapt or enhance treatment for this population. This study uses a modified Delphi method. Participants will be asked to complete 3 rounds of surveys online, with the goal to obtain group consensus on priority treatment needs. In round 1, participants will be asked to rate a list of factors independently. In rounds 2 and 3, participants will be provided with summary group responses and will be provided with the opportunity to revise their ratings if they wish.
Specifics: Study Population:

Participant Obligation:
Participation involves completing 3 rounds of online surveys, each takes approximately 15-20 minutes. The survey is conducted in English. Participants will receive a $25 gift card for Amazon per round.
