The REAL treatment-epigenetics project evaluated a parent focussed treatment for two-to-eight-year-old children with disruptive behaviour problems and examined how parenting can impact the risk for ongoing mental health problems in children, and the role of epigenetics. This project was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council from 2017 to 2021.
