Study summary

The Örebro prevention program is a brief (6 x 30 minutes)program administered to parents of 13-16 year old youths in regular parental meetings. The program aims to encourage parents to maintain a restrictive attitude towards youth drinking throughout their children's teenage years, and thereby postpone and reduce youth drinking. A previous quasi-experimental study by the program developers showed a sustained alcohol-specific restrictivity among parents exposed to the program, and also a reduction on drinking measures among the youths of the exposed parents (Koutakis, Stattin \& Kerr, 2008). This study aims to investigate whether these effects are sustained also when the program has gone into wide dissemination in Sweden.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 1, 2010, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
