Parental Support

STAD has worked with parental support in various forms for several years, partly to prevent problems with alcohol and other drugs among young people, but also with the purpose of promoting child and adolescent mental health.

Steg-för-Steg (Step-by-Step), a Swedish version of the American program The Strengthening Families Program 10-14, has been evaluated by STAD in a randomized controlled trial. The study was completed in 2007 and the evaluation process is now described in a doctoral thesis which has been presented at Karolinska Institutet December 8, 2010. Read the thesis here.
