Pilot Study of an Internet-based Parenting Program for Child Disruptive Behavior

The internet-based parenting support program is based on social learning theory. A foundation is the Family Check-up program (FCU), which includes approaches from motivational interviewing (MI). The parenting support is also based on similar CBT-parenting strategies as in other evaluated face-to-face CBT-parenting support programs (e.g., Comet) as well as internet-based programs (e.g., iComet; ParentWeb).

The internet-based parenting program includes the same contents and chat-function as in the other condition. The focus for the digital/phone meetings is to explore potential questions, problem-solve around potential challenges, and motivate parents to practice strategies and complete modules.
