How do parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs influence the treatment of adolescents?

You’re welcome.

Thanks for your suggestion.

As children move towards adolescence and early adulthood, the parental role in treatment is less clear. There is a repetitive need for renegotiation around the illness, just as there is around many aspects of the adolescent’s life. Parents have indicated that they look to clinicians to:
• Include them in treatment decisions.
• Provide them with guidance to foster competence.
• Maintain a positive relationship with them.
