Abstract

An online study was conducted to evaluate a new set of web-based parenting guidelines for the prevention of childhood depression and anxiety (http://www.parentingstrategies.net/depression). Visitors to the website were invited to respond to a demographic survey. Users who consented to a follow-up evaluation survey were emailed a survey web link a month later, asking their appraisals of the guidelines and actions taken as a result of accessing the guidelines. The findings suggest that the parenting guidelines were generally well-received by users and may be disseminated as a universal resource to parents and carers for the prevention of childhood depression and anxiety.
