About this trial

Many parents are permissive about children's alcohol use (e.g., they allow sips of alcohol); this leniency increases the risk that children will experience serious alcohol-related consequences as they become teenagers. This promising digital intervention that teaches parents about their influence and provides skills and tools they need to discourage underage alcohol use.
