Parents that receive 8 weekly online sessions of behavioral parent training (BPT). The program will include 8 sessions, including psychoeducation about goals and behaviors, special time, praise, clear instructions, rewards, active ignoring, cool down time, and school behavior. The BPT sessions are basedon a combination of the Module of conduct problems of the MATCH-ADCT program from Chorpita and Weisz (Modular Approach to Therapy for Children wit h Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems) (Chorpita & Weisz, 2009), the BPT program from Russell A. Barkley (Barkley, R.A., 2013. Defiant children: A clinician's manual for assessment and parent training. Guilford press.), and the program from Alan E. Kazdin (Kazdin, A. E. (2005). Parent management training: Treatment for oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behavior in children and adolescents. Oxford University Press.).

Parents that receive 8 weekly online sessions of behavioral parent training (BPT) and have access to AI app 24/7. Parents will be given access to ParenteAI app and will be asked to open an account. When starting the app, they will be greeted by a therapist assistant called PAT (an AI agent) that will guide parents through different stages of BPT modules and ask any question they might have anytime anywhere in form of a chatbot. Specifically, the app has two dashboards: 1) A behavioral parent training divided in 8 core modules and several optional modules, in which PAT provides evidence-based manualized BPT, and that mirror the sessions from the BPT group. Parents using ParenteAI will work on each module the week before that topic is discussed in the BPT groups. 2) A chatbot with a curated knowledge base on BPT (trained on same manuales) where parents can talk and ask questions to PAT about anything related to parenting, providing specific feedback, 24/7.

Eight (8) weekly online sessions of BPT

This will be measured by the total number of modules completed, number of In-the-moment support interactions with ParenteAi initiated by parent, number of messages exchanged, words sent by the parent, and average words per message.

This will be measured with the Therapy Attitude Inventory (TAI; Eyberg, 1993 Eyberg & Johnson, 1974). The TAI measures satisfaction with parent training, parent-child treatments, and family therapy. The scale consists of 10 items rated on a five-point Likert scale, with 1 indicating dissatisfaction or worsening of problems and 5 indicating maximum satisfaction or improvement. The total score ranges from 10 to 50.

This will be measured with the Net Promoter Score (NPS), a metric that measures the likelihood of parents, in this case, recommending the use of Parente.AI application to other parents with similar problems. The NPS is calculated by asking parents to rate, on a scale of 0 to 10, how likely they are to recommend. The score is then derived by subtracting the percentage of "detractors" (those who score 0-6) from the percentage of "promoters" (those who score 9-10). The resulting score ranges from -100 to +100.

Therapeutic alliance with PAT (AI-assisted therapist) will be measured with the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI-SR). The WAI measures three important aspects of the therapeutic alliance: 1. Agreement about the therapeutic tasks, 2. Agreement about the therapeutic goals, and 3. The affective bond between clinician and client. The Working Alliance Inventory-Short Revised (WAI-SR) is a refined version designed to measure these key aspects with greater clarity and efficiency.

The ECBI is a 36-item parent-report questionnaire used to assess the frequency and severity of disruptive behaviors in children aged 2-16. Parents rate each item on two scales; the intensity scale measures how frequently the behavior occurs on a 7-point Likert scale (1=never, 7=always), and the problem scales indicates whether the parent considers the behavior a problem (yes/no).

Open-ended assessment of parental experience using two questions: "What did you like the most?" and "What would you recommend improving?"
