Determine whether severity of impairment decreases and general functioning improves in both groups.\n* Determine whether active ignoring increases in PMT + EMA + digital tool and PMT + EMA + no digital tool.\n\nTertiary Objective:\n\n* Examine whether attention deficit\u002Fhyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression symptoms decrease in PMT + EMA + digital tool and PMT + EMA + no digital tool.\n* Monitor treatment acceptability and fidelity and therapeutic support.\n\nEndpoints:\n\nPrimary Endpoint:\n\nDropout in each arm of the trial (PMT + EMA + digital tool vs. PMT + EMA + no digital tool).\n\nSecondary Endpoint:\n\n* Changes in child outbursts and irritability measured using the Clinician-rated Affective Reactivity Index (CLARI); parent-\u002Fchild-ARI; Brief Irritability Test (BITe); and parent\u002Fchild EMA (collected 3x\u002Fday from baseline through 3 months post-treatment).

All screening will occur under 01-M-0254 and all inclusion criteria for youth and parent or guardian will be determined under the 01-M-0254 protocol. To be eligible to participate, an individual must meet all the following criteria:\n\n* Enrollment into protocol 01-M-0254 for screening purposes\n* Age 8-13 years (8 years 0 months through 13 years 11 months)\n* Parent\u002Fguardian and\u002For child reports irritability as a primary clinical concern. Specifically, compared to his\u002Fher peers, the child exhibits markedly increased reactivity to negative emotional stimuli that is manifest verbally or behaviorally. For example, the child responds to frustration with extended temper tantrums (inappropriate for age and\u002For precipitating event), verbal rages, and\u002For aggression toward people or property. This criterion is assessed based on the clinical interview conducted with parent\u002Fguardian and child after consenting into protocol 01-M-0254 for screening.\n* On the basis of record review and interviews with child and parent or guardian, the research team agrees that the child s response to his\u002Fher current treatment is no more than minimal (i.e., CGI-S of 3 or more). This criterion is assessed based on the clinical interview conducted with parent\u002Fguardian and child after consenting into protocol 01-M-0254 for screening.\n* Patients must be fluent in (speaking, reading) English after consenting into protocol 01-M-0254 as determined through clinical judgement.\n\n  --This study uses English-language manualized PMT. The PMT intervention materials, digital tool, therapist and rater training and supervision procedures, fidelity ratings, and outcome measures are currently available and validated only in English. Because psychotherapy relies on nuanced verbal exchange, use of translation or interpreters could alter treatment content, affect therapeutic alliance, compromise fidelity, and limit accurate clinical risk assessment. Enrolling non-English speakers can introduce a confound to our research objectives around feasibility, symptom and behavior change, and acceptability and fidelity. Restricting enrollment to English-speaking participants is therefore necessary to ensure participant safety and scientific validity in this trial. Critically, this eligibility criterion is based solely on the language requirements of the intervention and study procedures and is not intended to exclude participants on the basis of race or ethnicity or any other factors.\n* At least one parent or guardian of the minor subject must be willing to enroll in the protocol and have the cognitive ability to consent.\n* The minor subject must be able understand a written assent document as determined through clinical judgement, as well as be willing to sign a written assent document.\n\nInclusion Criteria for Parent or Guardian:\n\nTo be eligible to participate, an individual must be enrolled in the 01-M-0254 protocol.

The primary way to treat children with DBDs is parent management training (PMT). PMT teaches parents how to reward desired behaviors and not to reward undesired ones. Researchers want to find out if a smartphone app can help parents apply these skills more effectively.\n\nObjective:\n\nTo test a smartphone app to enhance PMT.\n\nEligibility:\n\nChildren aged 8 to 13 years with DBDs. A parent or guardian is also needed.\n\nDesign:\n\nParents will have 12 weekly sessions of PMT. PMT teaches them how to manage their child s mood and behaviors. Parents will learn to actively ignore, praise, set limits, and handle temper outbursts. PMT can be either in person or via video. Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes. They will be video and audio recorded.\n\nParents will be divided into 2 groups. Only 1 group will download a smartphone app. The app helps parents practice PMT skills. It offers videos, a resource library, and alerts when a child may be at risk for various behaviors.\n\nAll parents will be prompted every day to answer questions about their child s mood and their own behavior. These will continue until 12 weeks after their last PMT session.\n\nChildren will also answer questions on their phone daily for 1 week at a time. They will do this on 3 different weeks, each about 2 months apart. They will also have check-ins by phone every 2 weeks for up to 6 months.\n\nParents will have follow-up calls 3, 6, and 12 months after they finish PMT.",[111,112,113,114],"Disruptive Behavior Disorders","Conduct Disorder","Oppositional Defiant Disorder","Attention-deficit\u002FHyperactivity Disorder",[111,116,117,118,119,120,121],"Parent Management Training","Children","Parents","Digital tool","Irritability","Temper outbursts","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-08-24",{"date":125,"type":126},"2026-08-25","ACTUAL",{"date":128,"type":107},"2026-08-30",{"date":130,"type":107},"2037-12-31",{"name":66,"class":6},1]
