Evaluating Triple P Online: A Digital Parent Training Program for Child Behavior Problems.

Abstract Triple P Online (i.e., TPOL; www..tripleponline.net) is an online self-help parent training program aimed at reducing child behavior problems through "positive parenting practices"—available at time of review for $79.95. TPOL is comprised of 8 video-based modules that also incorporate in-session activities and homework. Randomized control trials have shown that TPOL effectively reduces child behavior problems. The program's main strengths include very high-quality content with an abundance of relevant and easily locatable resources, an easy-to-use interface, and a professional look and feel. The program's main weakness lies in its lack of monitoring and adaptation to the user's state (e.g., child's and parent's behaviors), and real-time reminders for desired actions. Altogether, TPOL is an extremely valuable and important resource for families seeking evidence-based treatment for child behavior problems. Highlights • The content, design, and aesthetic features of Triple P Online are of a high quality. • The program lacks monitoring, feedback, and reminders based on the user's current state. • There is an increasing body of evidence backing the program's effectiveness. • This is an important parent training resource for addressing child behavior problems.
