20 November 2024
New paper finds that a new parent intervention may support adolescents in changing sleep behaviour, and post intervention there was improved communication and less conflict between parents and adolescents.
The Parent Behavior Change Intervention (PBC-I) was developed to target parent–adolescent conversations that promote adolescent health behavior change.
Highlights
- A new parent intervention may support adolescents in changing sleep behavior.
- Post PBC-I, parents did not increase overall use of behavior change techniques.
- Post PBC-I, parents used more positive and less negative communication.
- Post PBC-I, parent and adolescent coercion and conflict outcomes were reduced.
