Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does the CPG-CA intervention relieve caregiver burden among family caregivers of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders in China? Is the CPG-CA intervention acceptable to family caregivers of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders in China?
Researchers will compare the CPG-CA intervention to care-as-usual to see if the CPG-CA internvention works to relieve caregiver burden among family caregivers of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders in China.
Participants will receive the CPG-CA intervention or care-as-usual for 12 weeks.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To date, very few interventions in China have been designed to relieve caregiver burden among family caregivers of children and adolescents with E/BDs. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a randomized, wait-list controlled pilot trial to preliminarily evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the CPG-CA intervention, a group psychoeducational intervention for family caregivers of children and adolescents with E/BDs, in reducing caregiver burden among family caregivers of children and adolescents with E/BDs in China. This pilot trial will lay the groundwork for a major trial that will be conducted in future studies.

Study Groups

Intervention group
The intervention group will first receive the CPG-CA intervention.
Caregiver Psychoeducation Group for Children and Adolescents with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (CPG-CA)
The CPG-CA intervention is a group psychoeducational internvention for family caregivers of children and adolescents with E/BDs in China. It will consist of 10 to 15 family caregivers of children and adolescents with E/BDs, meeting once a week for 1.5 to 2 hours per session, for a total of 12 sessions over a 3-month period. The sessions will cover the following themes: (1) knowledge about child and adolescent emotional and behavioral disorders; (2) coping skills for common emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents; (3) problem-solving skills; (4) communication skills with children and adolescents; (5) positive parenting techniques; and (6) self-care techniques. A variety of facilitation techniques will be used in the intervention, including didactic teaching, group discussion, role-playing, and homework assignment.
Waitlist control group
The waitlist control group will receive the CPG-CA intervention after the intervention group. During the waiting period, the waitlist control group will receive care as usual.
