Prevention Science, 2015, 16(4): 609-620Summary: This study, conducted in Auckland, examined the efficacy of Group Teen Triple P (GTTP), an eight-session parenting program specifically designed for parents of young adolescents. Seventy-two families with adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years were randomly assigned to either GTTP (n = 35) or a care as usual (CAU) control condition (n = 37). Compared to CAU parents, parents who received GTTP reported significant improvements in parenting practices, parenting confidence, the quality of family relationships, and fewer adolescent problem behaviours at post-intervention. Several of the parent-reported effects were corroborated by reports from adolescents, including decreases in parent–adolescent conflict and increases in parental monitoring. Adolescents whose parents participated in GTTP also reported significantly fewer behavioural problems than adolescents in the CAU condition. Many of these improvements were maintained at 6-month follow-up. (From the abstract). Record #4914
