We collaborate as a consortium with practical institutions, collaborative educational partnerships, the parent association Balans, research institutions, and knowledge networks. In the various projects, teachers and healthcare professionals in the field of education, parents, mental healthcare providers, municipal employees, neighbourhood teams, centres for youth and family, and general practitioner support staff participate. The PAINT parent advisory board advises us from an experiential perspective.
What do we investigate in the PAINT studies?
1. What does the current care for children with behavioural problems look like in the Netherlands? Are proven effective interventions being used? Are guidelines being followed? And what factors influence the choices made in healthcare?
2. Are brief behavioural therapeutic training sessions for teachers and parents effective when provided at school, by practice assistants, or by mental health professionals in the GGZ?
3. Tailored care: for whom does each intervention work best? Are there groups of children or parents for whom certain (combinations of) interventions work better or less well? What makes training for parents and teachers effective?
4. Cost-effectiveness: what is the balance between an intervention's effectiveness and its cost?
