University of Western Australia – Engaging Parents in Online Interventions for their child’s behaviour problems.

.

Online parenting programs can help support parents to improve their child’s behaviour problems. But not all parents who start an online program finish it. In this study, we want to know…

What influences parents’ views and use of evidence-based, online parenting support programs?

Can helping parents plan their use of online programs help them complete the program?  

We hope to use information from this project to help parents of children with behaviour problems benefit from online support.

The team is recruiting parents of young children (2–10 years) with behaviour problems to the study.

Participation is completely online and involves:

• Completing a 20-25 minute survey including questions about the parent, their child, their opinions about online programs, and circumstances due to COVID-19
• Reading a description of an online parenting program.
• An offer to enrol in the online parenting program.
• If a parent chooses to enrol, we will ask them some questions about their views, and likely use, of the program. They will then be asked to complete an online registration form before being emailed a code to access the program. Parents will be sent up to 2 emails to remind them to access the program. Program access lasts 12 months once activated.

You are invited to take part if you:

• Are a parent of a 2-10 year old child, for whom your main concern is their behaviour problems (e.g., defiance, breaking rules).
• Are not enrolled in a parenting program currently, or in the past 6 months.
• Have access to a computer with a broadband internet connection
• Are fluent in English
