Family Check-Up Online for Child Mental Health and Parenting Skills
This study is testing two versions of a digital program called Family Check-Up Online. This program aims to improve family relationships and parenting skills to help reduce mental health problems in children and improve their self-regulation (their ability to manage their thoughts and feelings). One version is the Family Check-Up Online by itself, and the other adds support from a parenting coach. We are looking for caregivers who have a child between 11 and 14 years old, enrolled in a participating school, and identified by the school as needing extra support. The study will measure changes in child depression, anxiety, and positive parenting after 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Change from Baseline in Child Depression (Parent report)baseline, 6 months
Parents report on their child's depression using the two item PHQ-2. Scores for the individual items range from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly all) and are summed together. Higher scores indicate greater child depression.
- Change from Baseline in Child Anxiety (Parent report)baseline, 6 months
Parents report on their child's anxiety using the two item GAD-2. Scores for the individual items range from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly all) and are summed together. Higher scores indicate greater child anxiety.
- Change from Baseline in Positive Parenting (Parent report)baseline, 6 months
Parents report on their use of positive parenting skills using a modified version of the Parenting Young Children scale. Parents are asked to indicate the frequency with which they used positive parenting skills (such as encouragement and praise, relationship building, giving clear directions, and using rewards for positive behavior) over the past month using a 5-pt scale (0=Never/ 1=Rarely/ 2= Sometimes/ 3=Often/ 4=Very Often). Responses to these 10 items are summed. Higher scores indicate frequent use of positive parenting skills.
- Change from Baseline in Rules and Consequences (Parent report)baseline, 6 months
Parents report on the extent to which they enforced rules and consequences for negative behavior over the past month using a 13-item scale developed for this project. Parents are asked to indicate the frequency with which they monitored their child's behavior, set clear rules, applied logical consequences, and ignored annoying behavior using a 5-pt scale (0=Never/ 1=Rarely/ 2= Sometimes/ 3=Often/ 4=Very Often). Responses are summed and higher scores indicate more consistent use of rules and consequences.
- Change from Baseline in Positive Communication (Parent report)baseline, 6 months
Parents report on the extent to which positive communication occurred with their child over the past month using a 12-item scale developed for this project. Parents are asked to indicate the frequency with which they communicated calmly and clearly, listened to their child, and mitigated conflict using a 5-pt scale (0=Never/ 1=Rarely/ 2= Sometimes/ 3=Often/ 4=Very Often). Responses are summed and higher scores indicate more positive communication within the family.
- Change from Baseline in Supporting School Success (Parent report)baseline, 6 months
Parents report on the ways they support their child's school success over the past month using a16-item scale developed for this project. Parents are asked to indicate the frequency with which their family followed regular morning, meal, sleep, school, and homework routines using a 5-pt scale (0=Never/ 1=Almost Never/ 2= Sometimes/ 3=Frequently/ 4=Almost Always). Responses are summed, and higher scores indicate more frequent use of routines that support school success.
