Parenting interventions that improve psychological and behavioural outcomes for parents and children in high income countries have been found to be beneficial. However, such programmes are rarely offered in developing countries. The current study tested the effectiveness of a parenting training programme (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting, STEP) in the Kurdish population of Iraq. The intervention lasted seven consecutive weeks and included 16 mothers (mean age 35 years 3 months; range 29 years 7 months - 45 years and 4 months).
