Parents will learn how to increase their emotion awareness to better tolerate strong emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, anger, and frustration. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Distress Tolerance Scale scores | The Distress Tolerance Scale is a 15-item self-report measure that measures the perceived capacity to tolerate distress from a multidimensional framework, including tolerance, appraisal, absorption, and regulation. Items are rated on a 1-5 Likert scale and then summed. Scores range from 15-75. Higher total scores indicate greater ability to tolerate distress. | Baseline, up to three-week follow-up |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS) scores | Measures overall anxiety severity and anxiety-related impairment due to any anxiety disorder. Total scores are computed by summing scores from all 5 items. Total score ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating higher severity and impairment of anxiety symptoms. Reduction in OASIS scores therefore indicates better outcome. |

| Change in Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) scores | Measures severity and frequency of depressive symptoms and functional deficits in pleasurable activities due to the depressive symptomatology. The ODSIS consists of 5 self-report items rated from 0 to 4. Total score ranges from 0 to 20 with higher scores indicating greater depression-related severity and impairment. | Baseline, up to three-week follow-up |
| Change in Parental Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (PAAQ) scores | A 19-item measure of parent experiential avoidance, or parental actions intended to control the form and frequency of their child's emotional experiences. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, with higher possible scores ranging from 19 to 133. Higher scores indicate less parental experiential avoidance and less effort to control child emotional experiences. | Baseline, up to three-week follow-up |
