Full description

Parent-Web (PW) is internet delivered and rooted in social learning and coercion theory, PW supports parenting practices and parent-child interactions encouraging prosocial behavior and emotion regulation, reduce coercive parenting, improve communication, problem solving, and warmth. 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. No published outcome evaluations of universal PW currently exist. However, benefits were found for selective PW. This study will test the effects of universal PW as a booster to PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) a universal school-based intervention designed to enhance child social emotional competence. All PW trial participants are parents to at least one adolescent child (aged 11-13). Immediate PW participants are parents who have a child that participated in PATHS at age 4-5 years old.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Immediate intervention group are parents of children aged 11-13 who participated in PATHS at age 4-5 years old.

Parents in the wait list comparison group have children who are matched to the children of parents in the immediate intervention group.

Matching criteria are:

Wait-list group parents' child's present-day gender (matching criteria 1) is the same as the matched child who's parents are in the immediate intervention group, wait-list group parents' child's present-day age is similar to the matched child who's parents are in the immediate intervention group, namely child birthdays within 6 months of each other (matching criteria 2), and wait-list group parents' children live in the same postal code as the matched immediate intervention group child (matching criteria 3), and matched children have all lived in Sweden since 2014 (matching criteria 4). If these 4-matching criteria are too restrictive and do not provide enough matches to recruit from, then the matching criteria will be reduced to points 1, 2, and point 3. Children do not participate in the Parent Web intervention trial, but parents of children do participate.
