Intervention model description: This is a randomized controlled experiment (RCT) with a wait-list control group
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: To test an online parent training program. Relative to a randomized wait-list control group, those in the Parent Web (PW) will show benefits on well-being, parenting, stress, youth mental health.

Detailed description: Parent-Web (PW) is internet delivered parent education that is created and developed by researchers at Karolinska Institute's Department of Clinical Neuroscience, namely Kajsa Lönn-Rhodin, Martin Forster, and Pia Enebrink. An effectiveness trial of the universal edition of the Parent Web is made possible through a research collaboration with Pia Enebrink. PW is derived from social learning and coercion theory. PW aims to support parenting practices and parent-child interactions encourage prosocial behaviour and emotion regulation, reduce coercive parenting, improve communication, problem solving, and warmth within families. PW has a universal and selective edition. Universal PW has 5 basic modules (1 module per week, 6-8 weeks) and bonus modules. Basic modules contain information, exercises, and videos of actors showing parenting practices. A family guide supports PW participants through PW modules. This study will test the effects of universal PW with a general population derived sample of parents living in Region Stockholm. All PW trial participants are parents to at least one adolescent child who is aged 11-13 years old.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Participants have to be parents and/or legal guardians of at least one 11 to 13 year old child.
2. Participants must live in Region Stockholm.

Exclusion Criterion:

1. The target child (the 11 to 13-year-old) is presently receiving mental health treatment.
