What this trial studies

This study evaluates the EQUIPE program, a parenting support initiative designed for families with at least one parent suffering from alcohol use disorders. The program consists of 10 weekly sessions, each lasting 2 hours, where parents engage in discussions and activities aimed at improving their parenting skills and strengthening family relationships. Utilizing video vignettes, parents are encouraged to identify and discuss solutions to behavioral challenges faced by their children, fostering a supportive environment. The goal is to enhance protective factors against risky behaviors in children, particularly those related to substance use during adolescence.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly reduce the risk of substance use disorders in children of parents with alcohol use disorders.

How similar studies have gone: While similar parenting programs have shown promise in other regions, this specific adaptation for families with alcohol use disorders is novel in France.
