: M.W. is a Level 1 trainer for PCIT International – though receives no additional remuneration for this role – and was the treatment provider for several families. An independent interviewer was contracted to ensure that families were more able to speak openly of their experiences. An independent collaborator, the second author C.C., assisted with data analysis to ensure impartiality.
: Ethical approval for this study was obtained from both New Zealand’s Health and Disability Ethics Committee [18/NTB/12], and the Auckland District Health Board Research Review Committee [#7674]. The study was carried out in accordance with the ethical standards of these groups, and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments. This article does not contain any studies with animals performed by any of the authors.
: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. Participants were provided with a detailed Participant Information Sheet, and key points were explained aloud. In every case, both the researcher (or researcher’s representative) and participants signed a detailed consent form after this discussion. Both the Participant Information Sheet and the Consent Form were reviewed and approved by both New Zealand’s Health and Disability Ethics Committee [18/NTB/12], and the Auckland District Health Board Research Review Committee [#7674] prior to the study commencing. Pseudonyms were assigned, and identifying information removed prior to the interview transcripts being uploaded to data analysis software and shared with the second author.
