This is a randomized clinical trial of the impact of incorporating a peer mentor into a
primary care based group parenting program on increasing program participation by parents and
improving program outcomes.

The investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial of the impact of Child Adult
Relationship Enhancement (CARE) plus peer mentor on increasing program adoption,
acceptability, and appropriateness among 2-6 year old children and their parents at UNC
Children's Primary Care Clinic. The investigators will also examine the effectiveness of CARE
plus peer mentor on dysfunctional parenting and child behavior problems. Participants will be
randomized to CARE plus peer mentor or standard CARE. Program attendance, acceptability, and
appropriateness will be measured upon completion of the 6-week program. Dysfunctional
parenting and child behavior will be measured at baseline and 6 weeks. The investigators will
conduct semi-structured interviews among a sample of parents (~20-30) in order to understand
the impact of the peer mentors on program implementation, as well as barriers and
facilitators to program initiation and long-term participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- 2-6 year old child at UNC Children's Primary Care Clinic and their parent

- English speaking

Exclusion Criteria:
