Summary
This study tests an online program called Family Check-Up Online for parents of middle school students at Title 1 schools. Parents complete modules covering parenting skills like monitoring, positive parenting, and managing stress, with optional coaching. The goal is to see if the program improves parenting practices and reduces child behavior problems like anger, defiance, and anxiety.
