WE ARE LOOKING AT THE EFFECT OF
Parents of children
aged 5-11.5 with behavioural problems can participate in the
study.
Parents and their child will be involved in various
combinations of diet and behaviour management programs. This will be provided free
of charge.
Behaviour management: This involves parents coming to 4-5
weekly group sessions at RMIT University Bundoora. There will also be two
telephone sessions.
Diet: This part involves placing the
child on an elimination diet for approximately 4-6 weeks. This will be
supervised by a dietician.
Parents will complete questionnaires at different points in
the study.
This research is being conducted as part of a PhD at RMIT
University with the assistance of the Dr Kathy Rowe from the Royal Children’s
Hospital, Melbourne and Kyann Calvi, Accredited Dietitian.
