Summary

This trial tests a web-based parent training program, called Parenting Wisely for Residential Treatment, for parents of adolescents aged 11 to 17 in psychiatric residential treatment. The program includes online modules and facilitated parent groups to prepare families for the teen's return home. Researchers compare it to standard care to see if it improves family functioning, parenting confidence, and teen emotional and behavioral outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Parenting Wisely for Residential Treatment (PWRT), a web-based parent training program with facilitated parent groups
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help parents better support their teens after residential treatment, potentially reducing behavioral problems and the need for restrictive placements.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with a small number of participants, so it may not show clear benefits. Parents may also find the training time-consuming or hard to complete.
