Abstract
This thesis examined how interventions targeting parents might work to improve adolescent depressive and anxiety symptoms. We did so through a randomised controlled trial of a parenting intervention designed to prevent adolescent depression and anxiety disorders. Specifically, we: 1) created a scale of parental self-efficacy; 2) examined how improvements in parenting behaviours and parental self-efficacy might explain the effect of the intervention on adolescent depressive and anxiety symptoms; and 3) examined how engagement in various intervention components could predict outcomes of the intervention. This thesis informed theory and provided insights to future program developers.
