The goal of this clinical trial is to test efficacy of the REACH program in parents with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and their young children. The main question it aims to answer is:

-How can parents with IBS help their young kids develop healthy habits?

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Social Learning and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (SLCBT)

Participants assigned to this group will complete an online program with 3 core skills, which will include strategies to promote wellness behaviors, use adaptive cognitive coping strategies, model wellness behaviors for their children, and determine when it is appropriate to take further action re: potential illness in their child. The website is interactive and self-guided. All participants will have access to the same resources and content, although based on responses to quizzes and skills practice questions, the automated feedback may differ slightly. The website includes treatment modules that share content via text, images, videos and recordings, a skills library that includes audio recordings of relaxation exercises, infographics to support skills practice, and behavioral assignments to record skills practice and receive automated feedback. Participants will review their knowledge at the end of each treatment module with brief quizzes.

BEHAVIORAL

Attention Education Control

Participants assigned to the control group will receive access to a web program and complete 3 modules focused on child health and safety behaviors, such as sports and water safety. These participants will review written/visual content on the above topics, take quizzes to test knowledge gained, and will be provided with brief assignments to increase child safety behaviors. All participants assigned to the control group will have access to the same educational content.
