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.

Primary Outcome Measures: Change from baseline in parent rating of child's emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems and prosocial behavior, Change from baseline up to 10 months later (immediate intervention group, two time points) and up to 20 months later (wait-list comparison group, three time points) in parent rating of their child's emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems and prosocial behavior as indexed by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).

The SDQ consists of 25 items rated on a 3-point Likert scale with response options that range from 0 = not true, 1 = somewhat true, 2 = certainly true. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome on the emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems scale scores. Higher scores on the prosocial behavior scale indicate a better outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test 1 up to 10 months after pretest. Post test 2 for wait-list up to 10 months after post test 1]|Change from baseline in parent rated view of their child's behavioral problems/defiant behavior, Change from baseline up to 10 months later (immediate intervention group, two time points) and up to 20 months later (wait-list comparison group, three time points) in parent view of their child's behavioral problems/defiant behavior as measured by the Oppositional Defiant Scale of the Disruptive Disorder Rating Scale (DBD) which consists of 7 items rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Higher scores indicate a worse outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test 1 up to 10 months after pretest. Post test 2 for wait-list up to 10 months after post test 1]|Change from baseline in parent rated family warmth and conflict, Change from baseline up to 10 months later (immediate intervention group, two time points) and up to 20 months later (wait-list comparison group, three time points) in parent rated warmth and conflict. Warmth and conflict are indexed by eight items rated on a five-point scale from 1 (never) to 5 (more than 7 times). Five items measure parent-child warmth and three items measure parent-child conflicts. Higher scores on parental warmth scale indicate a better outcome. Higher scores on the parent-child conflicts scale score indicate a worse outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test 1 up to 10 months after pretest. Post test 2 for wait-list up to 10 months after post test 1]
Secondary Outcome Measures: Change from baseline in parent rated encouragement of positive behaviors, setting limits, and proactive parenting behaviors, Change from baseline up to 10 months later (immediate intervention group, two time points) and up to 20 months later (wait-list comparison group, three time points) in parent rated encouragement of positive behaviors, setting limits, and proactive parenting behaviors as indexed by the Parenting Children and Adolescents Scale (PARCA). The PARCA has 19 items rated on a five-point scale 1 = never to 5 = Very Often. The scale has three subscales on encouragement of positive behaviors, setting limits, and proactive parenting behaviors. Higher scores indicate a better outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test 1 up to 10 months after pretest. Post test 2 for wait-list up to 10 months after post test 1]|Change from baseline in parent rated stress, Change from baseline up to 10 months later (immediate intervention group, two time points) and up to 20 months later (wait-list comparison group, three time points) in parent rated stress as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). PSS consists of 10 questions about perceived stress during the last month rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Never to 4 = Very Often). The scale measures the extent to which situations in one's life are assessed and perceived as stressful and current stress levels. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test 1 up to 10 months after pretest.

HAD consists of two scales (a total of 14 items), one for anxiety and one for depression with seven questions each. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test 1 up to 10 months after pretest.

The ASQ consists of five items (rated on a 3 point Likert scale,

1 = Completely Agree to 3 = Completely Disagree) that examine how parents view their own validation of their child's emotions when expressed. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome., [Time Frame: Immediate PW group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024. Post test up to 10 months after pretest. Wait-list group pretest in Fall/Winter 2024.
