Summary
This trial tests an online, culturally adapted parenting program for Latino families with a child in sixth or seventh grade. Over four months, parents receive weekly digital modules covering topics like communication, discipline, and cultural values. The study aims to see if the program improves parenting practices and supports youth mental health, while also checking if it's practical and acceptable for families.
