A systematic review of parent based programs to prevent or reduce alcohol consumption in adolescents

Abstract

Background. Adolescent alcohol consumption is an issue of ongoing concern and programs targeting parents have been identified as an important component in minimizing and preventing alcohol related harm in adolescents. This paper aims to evaluate existing parent based alcohol education programs with a focus on understanding parent specific outcomes including parental attitudes, parent-child communication, alcohol specific rule setting and parental monitoring; study quality, the extent of stakeholder engagement in program design and the level of theory application. Method. A systematic review of electronic databases EBSCO, Emerald, ProQuest, PubMed, Ovid, ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis and Web of Science was conducted from database inception to August 2019. A total of 4288 unique records were retrieved from the eight databases. Studies were included if they evaluated school based alcohol education programs that included a parent component and detailed outcome measures associated with parent data. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) quality assessment tool. Results. In total 17 studies qualified for assessment, detailing 13 individual parent programs. Of these, ten programs demonstrated positive effects in at least one parent reported outcome measure. Stakeholder engagement during the design of programs was lacking with the majority of programs. One third of the programs did not report theory use and when theory was used reporting was weak with three programs applying theory, five testing theory and none building theory. According to the EPHPP tool, overall ten programs were rated as weak, three as moderate and none as strong. Conclusion. Future studies are recommended to further enhance the effectiveness of parental programs by improving study quality, increasing stakeholder engagement and increasing the level of theory application and reporting.

“…Furthermore, partnership/stakeholders are an essential element for consideration acknowledging systems approaches to behaviour change. In line with recent reviews (Hurley et al, 2019), the extent of stakeholder involvement is considered. External stakeholders can consist of clients (e.g., individuals targeted by the intervention), funding agencies (e.g., governmental and quasi-governmental organizations), or private funders (e.g., individual donors, community members, etc.)…”

“…(Dahl et al, 2015). Prior systematic review of alcohol-prevention interventions indicate that stakeholder input significantly enhances programme design by offering new ideas, perspectives and information (Hurley et al, 2019), and earlier reviews identify that stakeholder involvement in programme design, delivery and evaluation are rare (Buyucek et al, 2016). Mid-stream agents also play a pivotal role in the co-creation and delivery of customer-oriented services or products (Dietrich et al, 2016;Wood, 2016Wood, , 2019.…”

“…Mid-stream agents also play a pivotal role in the co-creation and delivery of customer-oriented services or products (Dietrich et al, 2016;Wood, 2016Wood, , 2019. Therefore, apart from investigating core SMBC elements, this current review will assess consideration of stakeholders and their role during different stages of programme design (Hurley et al, 2019;McHugh et al, 2018).…”
