BACKGROUND: Poor parenting practices have been associated with adolescent emotional and behavioural problems which are potentially preventable. Parenting interventions that are based on behavioural and social learning theories have been repeatedly shown to be effective. However, few evidence-based parenting programmes are implemented and sustained at a population level. Little research is available on supporting the general population of parents during the adolescent years. Further, a substantial research-practice gap exists regarding the impact of a universal approach to parenting programmes for parents of adolescents. METHOD: This article will first examine the effects of parenting practices on adolescent outcome. Afterwards, it addresses the effectiveness of parenting programmes for parents of adolescents. Finally, it discusses the need for a public health approach to parenting programmes.
