Summary

Detailed description

This pragmatic randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of the Adappt app, an app developed to support the mental well-being of parents of children with a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD), such as autism and ADHD. This app was developed since research has shown that these parents experience higher stress levels than parents of typically developing children. Furthermore, the app was developed in collaboration with parents of children with a NDD, mental health care professionals and scientists in Europe.
