Background summary
The aim of the project is to test a highly innovative program for mothers and children of primary school age in a Dutch sample. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted among mothers of 8th grade children, and short-term assessments on anti-alcohol socialization will be conducted.
Study objective
We expect that parents involved in the program (as compared to controls) will be more involved in high qualitative communication on alcohol topics, have more confidence in discussing alcohol matters and greater efficacy to prevent their children from drinking alcohol, set and keep stricter household rules against alcohol, establish a non-drinking contract with their children, and are more likely to monitor children's and peers' alcohol-related activities.
Study design
Baseline, 6 and 12 months.
Intervention
The objective of the present study is to test an intervention program focusing on anti-alcohol socialization skills for parents of primary school children: 'In control: No alcohol!'. In control: No alcohol! is a home-based program and consists of a series of five activity guides for parents and children to complete together. These guides will be mailed to their homes every month.
For the control group an alternative brochure will be used based on facts. This brochure provides knowledge about youth drinking.
