Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if a brief positive parenting seminar series delivered virtually helps parents of teenagers ages 13-17 learn additional tools and strategies to support teens' development, encourage good behavior, build confidence and responsibility, and improve how teens connect with others. The study also looks at how these seminars improve parenting practices and teen outcomes.

The main questions it aims to answer are whether parents are satisfied with the intervention and find the strategies helpful and acceptable, whether the intervention leads to changes in parenting behaviors (e.g., positive parenting) and teen outcomes (e.g., emotional and behavioral problems), and how removing the group discussion from the seminars impacts parents' ability to improve their parenting skills and their teenager's outcomes.

Researchers will compare three groups: parents receiving the seminars with a group discussion, parents receiving the seminars without a group discussion, and parents on a waitlist. This will help determine if group discussions lead to greater improvements in parenting practices and teen outcomes.

Participants will attend three online parenting seminars via telehealth (if assigned to a seminar group). They will complete surveys before, during, and after the seminars to share their experiences and provide feedback. Participants in the waitlist group will complete surveys at the beginning and end of the study, and will participate in the seminars after the study period.
