This study is being done to learn whether a telehealth intervention called "Internet-Based Parent Child Interaction Therapy," or I-PCIT," can help parents improve the child's behavior if the child currently or previously went through cancer treatment. Parents who choose to be in this study will complete a survey to help researchers figure out if the parent is eligible for the larger study. If a parent is eligible for the larger study and chooses to participate, if so, the participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the I-PCIT intervention now or to be on a waitlist and begin I-PCIT in 5-6 months. The whole study consists of completing I-PCIT sessions with a clinician and completing 3-4 follow-up surveys after the initial screener survey.

This study is being done to learn whether a telehealth intervention called "Internet-Based Parent Child Interaction Therapy," or I-PCIT," can help parents improve the child's behavior if the child currently or previously went through cancer treatment. Parents who choose to be in this study will complete a survey to help researchers figure out if the parent is eligible for the larger study. If a parent is eligible for the larger study and chooses to participate, the investigators will randomly assign the participants to either receive the I-PCIT intervention now or to be on a waitlist and begin I-PCIT in 5-6 months. The whole study consists of completing I-PCIT sessions with a clinician and completing 3-4 follow-up surveys after the initial screener survey. I-PCIT is language-dependent. The investigators will make every effort to recruit a Spanish-speaking fellow clinician for this study. However, if unable to recruit a Spanish-speaking fellow, a licensed clinical social worker and certified Spanish interpreter, will provide I-PCIT services to Spanish-speaking families. Children may participate even if the child cannot produce spoken language. Participants may request that research personnel read all assessment materials aloud in a structured interview format, in which case participants could provide verbal item responses. Because of this option, participants' ability to read and write are not requirements for participation. The I-PCIT intervention will consist of 13 weekly telehealth sessions with a clinician who is certified in PCIT. The first telehealth session will take about 60-75 minutes. The rest of the telehealth sessions will take about 40-60 minutes. I-PCIT teaches parents how to build more positive interactions with the child and how to improve management of the child's behavior challenges. Parents who receive I-PCIT in this study will not be charged for any I-PCIT services. Parents who are assigned to the waitlist until I-PCIT begins and may continue receiving any other services to help manage the child's behavior while waiting to start I-PCIT. The study will last about 5-5 ½ months for parents who are assigned to start I-PCIT right away. For parents who are assigned to the waitlist to start I-PCIT in 5-6 months, parents will complete the study, including I-PCIT sessions, in about 8-9 months. In addition to the initial survey to see if parents are eligible for I-PCIT, parents who are assigned to I-PCIT or the waitlist will also be asked to complete follow-up surveys 3-4 times during the study.
