Parenting Program for Adolescent Mental Health

This study is testing a parenting program called Adolescent Mental Health Parenting Program for Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (AMP-CARE). It aims to help parents feel more confident in raising their teens and learn more about typical teen development and mental health. Researchers want to see if AMP-CARE improves parents' confidence and knowledge. You may be able to join if you are a parent of a teen aged 11-14, receive primary care at certain clinics, and speak English. You cannot join if your child has a severe mental illness or developmental delay. The study plans to enroll 60 parents, but the current status of enrollment is unclear.

What this trial measures

  • Parent Mental Health LiteracyFrom enrollment to completion of AMP-CARE program or 6-12 weeks after enrollment.

    Parent Mental Health Literacy was assessed with 23-item self-report measure, the Parental Child Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire. Using a 5-pt scale with endpoints of "0=strongly disagree" and "4=strongly agree," parents were asked to indicate their level of agreement with statements related to 5 constructs: mental health recognition, beliefs, knowledge, help-seeking confidence, and fear of stigma. Scores ranged from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate greater literacy.
