Abstract

Introduction: Emotional difficulties among young people are debilitating and increasing in prevalence. Parent focused interventions delivered online offer a convenient and potentially effective way to increase young people’s access to support. A systematic review offers the opportunity to assess their effectiveness and to identify characteristic of interventions which are particularly effective. Objective: To assess the existing online interventions for parents of young people that are designed to improve young people’s mental health and wellbeing. Methods: We will conduct a systematic review of randomised controlled trials identified through searching CENTRAL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and PubMed. We will follow Cochrane Handbook and involve at least two people in screening and data extraction. Risk of bias will be assessed using Cochrane risk of bias tool. We will use EndNote, Excel, and Review Manager for managing the studies and data. We will also apply TIDieR checklist to extract and summarise the specific characteristics of interventions.
