Inclusion Criteria

Parent or guardian of at least one child aged 12 to 17 years (inclusive) at baseline, who reside in Australia, consider themselves fluent in English, and have internet access and an email account.

Exclusion Criteria

No exclusion criteria specified.

We will not exclude parents who report clinically elevated symptoms of anxiety or depression in their adolescents at baseline. However, by assessing baseline symptoms, we will be able to conduct subsidiary subgroup analyses of parents of adolescents above/below clinical cut-off scores on the symptom measures, to examine the program effects on these subgroups.
The cut-off scores used to determine symptom elevation will be based on published cut-off scores, as follows:
SMFQ-P total score of 8 or greater.
RCADS-P anxiety subscale T-score of 70 or greater.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Parental risk and protective factors for adolescent depression and anxiety disorders, as measured by the total score on the Parenting to Reduce Adolescent Depression and Anxiety Scale (PRADAS). The PRADAS is a composite measure of several risk and protective factors, hence the total score is the primary outcome of interest.[The PRADAS will be completed at baseline and at 3-months (90 days) post-baseline completion date.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Parental self-efficacy, as measured by the total score on the Parental Self-Efficacy Scale (PSES).[The PSES will be completed at baseline and at 3-months (90 days) post-baseline completion date.];Parent-adolescent attachment, as measured by the total score on the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, parent-report (IPPA-P).[.The IPPA-P will be completed at baseline and at 3-months (90 days) post-baseline completion date.];Parent-reported adolescent depression symptoms, as measured by the total score on the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (parent-report; SMFQ-P).[The SMFQ-P will be completed at baseline and at 3-months (90 days) post-baseline completion date.];Parent-reported adolescent anxiety symptoms, as measured by the 15-item anxiety subscale score on the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (parent-report; RCADS-P).[The RCADS-P anxiety subscale will be completed at baseline and at 3-months (90 days) post-baseline completion date.]
