The aims of this study were to evaluate user characteristics and the perceived usefulness of a set of online parenting guidelines to prevent adolescent depression and anxiety.
Upon downloading the online guidelines, users were invited to complete a brief demographic survey assessing user characteristics (Survey 1). Consenting respondents were emailed an evaluation survey 1 month later, which assessed perceived usefulness of the guidelines (Survey 2).
Over 22 months, 2631 users completed Survey 1 and 233 completed Survey 2. Most users endorsed the usefulness of the guidelines, and most parent users reported at least a little improvement on their parenting. Users were favourable towards a web-based parenting program as one way to improve the guidelines.
Findings suggest that the online guidelines may be a useful and sustainable universal prevention strategy for parents of adolescents.
本研究旨在评估用户特征以及一套预防青少年抑郁和焦虑的在线育儿指南的感知有用性。
在下载在线指南后，邀请用户完成一项简短的人口统计学调查以评估用户特征（调查1）。一个月后，向同意参与的受访者发送一份评估调查，以评估指南的感知有用性（调查2）。
在22个月的时间里，2631名用户完成了调查1，233名用户完成了调查2。大多数用户认可这些指南的有用性，大多数家长用户表示他们的育儿方式至少有了一点改善。用户对基于网络的育儿项目持赞成态度，认为这是改进指南的一种方式。
研究结果表明，在线指南可能是一种对青少年家长有用且可持续的普遍预防策略。
