BACKGROUND: We examined the feasibility of self-directed Triple P 'Positive Parenting Programme' for optimizing parents' management of childhood asthma and behaviour. METHODS: Eligible families were invited to access asthma-specific web-based Triple P as part of a preliminary randomized controlled study. RESULTS: Initial study information and introductory website pages received considerable interest but intervention uptake was poor with high rates of attrition. CONCLUSIONS: Although parents of children with asthma show willingness to access web-based parenting support, further work is necessary to develop engaging websites and determine barriers to uptake, and adherence to online parenting interventions with this population.
