Can a coached online family program help caregivers work together during sustained stress?
This trial examines an online family-centered program with coaching and includes coparenting and family-relational outcomes. It connects collaboration with accessible support rather than expecting families to manage alone.
Who was studied?
161 primary caregivers in a United States Pacific Northwest sample during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Age / stage: Parents of children aged 10–14 years
Read with three questions
- How did the web application and coaching work together?
- Which parent and family outcomes changed at two months?
- Which youth outcomes were not yet tested in this report?
Keep the limits in view
The report used a short follow-up and a predominantly White, educated, mother-participant sample. It did not evaluate youth functioning outcomes in the current analyses or isolate coaching from the program package.
