| Deitz et al [80] | Total knowledge score: significantly greater for the experimental group than the control group (t=–7.96, P<.001) Knowledge of treatment: statistically significant (t=–2.92, P=.006) A significant difference was found between experimental and control groups on self-efficacy in handling mental health issues in their children (F=12.73, P=.001). Significant paired t test analysis of increases in self-efficacy from pretest to posttest among the individuals receiving the intervention was found (t=–3.20, P=.003). No significant differences between groups on the measures of family communication, adaptability, cohesion, and attitudes toward mental health issues were found. |

Chi-square analyses of the postintervention (1-month) assessment revealed a significant difference in attempts to change parenting (n=307, χ32=19.65, P<.001), with significantly more intervention group parents reporting making some changes to their parenting. The majority of parents (93.6%) reported they were somewhat or very satisfied with the feedback received, and 95.1% reported the feedback as either somewhat, very, or extremely useful. Most parents (90.2%) reported they were somewhat or very likely to change their parenting based on the feedback provided. Conclusion: accessible, low-cost preventive approach |

Participants in the intervention, compared to those in the control group, demonstrated preliminary evidence of improved parental knowledge. The effect size of parental knowledge was large (d=0.60; 95% CI 0.21-0.99). Parents in the intervention group showed increased parental self-efficacy, parent-child communication, and satisfaction with parent-child relationships, and decreased parent-child conflict. Parents reported accessibility and convenience to complete the intervention. |

Effective parent-adolescent communication skills. Parents’ positive experience with flexibility, accessibility, and convenience in delivery of eHealth. Parents also reported the ability to apply the lessons learned from eHealth Familias Unidas to their daily lives. |
| Estrada et al [83] | It was feasible to recruit, engage, and retain Hispanic families into an eHealth intervention and deliver it electronically. Positive feedback was provided by the parents regarding eHealth. Parents stated there were multiple lessons learned from engaging in eHealth Familias Unidas: effective parent-adolescent communication and active parental attention and involvement in an adolescent’s life. Culturally appropriate online content allowed parents to access sessions at their convenience and minimized costs for researchers and participants alike |
