Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Parenting Wisely Residential Treatment (PWRT)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
In the PWRT condition, parents will complete a total of ten web-based modules in an online parent training program called Parenting Wisely. Each week, parents will also attend a 90-minute facilitated discussion group via Zoom. Parents will complete assessments at baseline (T1), six weeks post-baseline (T2), and six months post-baseline (T3) via REDCap. While adolescents (n=60) will not directly receive the intervention, they will complete assessments at baseline, six weeks post-baseline (T2), and six months post-baseline (T3).
Group II: Treatment as Usual (TAU)Placebo Group1 Intervention
The TAU condition is the standard of care offered to parents in RT settings. Parents in the TAU condition will receive traditional programming, including family therapy offered weekly during the RT admission. Parents will attend discharge planning meetings with caseworkers (if assigned) to discuss the adolescent's progress, continued treatment needs, safety plans, upcoming appointments, and medication needs. Following discharge, programs frequently recommend follow-up with an outpatient provider for medication management and therapy for the adolescent. Parents will complete assessments at baseline (T1), six weeks post-baseline (T2), and six months post-baseline (T3) via REDCap. While adolescents (n=60) will not directly receive the intervention, they will complete assessments at baseline, six weeks post-baseline (T2), and six months post-baseline (T3).
