Outcome Summary:

A study was conducted into the efficacy of the CoD-CoD program in N=147 children aged 11 to 16, as compared to a control group who were given acess to two popular websites giving information on how to deal with divorce. The treatment group saw a significant reduction in the number of self-reported emotional and conduct problems with  an effect size of d=0.37. This study provides some evidence that CoD-CoD can improve mental wellbeing in children on divorced parents.
