Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
While strict management of the gluten-free diet has been linked to improvements in intestinal damage and quality of life, the relentless behavioural and social demands of detecting gluten is challenging. Often, families report concerns around attending family gatherings, school trips, and eating out at restaurants due to the potential for accidental gluten consumption. To manage these concerns, some families avoid social events entirely, which can affect school attendance and participation in normal childhood activities such as birthday parties and sleepovers. Children and young people (CYP) with coeliac disease have described feeling like a "nuisance" and may experience social stigma associated with their need to eat different food, frustration and isolation, and a higher probability of developing mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or eating disorders.
A large body of research suggests that exposure to parental anxiety increases the risk of similar problems in CYP. CYP can learn that certain situations lead their parents to feel anxious, which may lead to them feeling threatened, and cope (usually by avoidance) in a similar manner. The same appears true for families with coeliac disease, where caregiver(s) with high levels of anxiety, have CYP with higher levels of anxiety. Whilst the gluten-free diet is essential for the management of coeliac disease, it is not enough to only address foods that must that be avoided in coeliac disease. Support must also address how to navigate a gluten-free diet that does not require social isolation and over-restriction. For CYP with coeliac disease, management of the gluten-free diet often relies on the caregiver(s), and so, intervention components must support the whole family system.
Self-help psychological interventions (interactive websites and books) for families of CYP with food allergy and type one diabetes already exist. These interventions appear impactful when embedded alongside routine care for CYP with food allergy, and looks promising for CYP with type one diabetes. These findings suggest that these psychological interventions reduce anxiety and increase wellbeing in caregiver(s), as well as their CYP. In line with family desires and health system policy, this project will adapt these existing self-help psychological interventions to support families of CYP with coeliac disease, and test the impact on caregiver(s) wellbeing, and CYP gluten-free diet management and wellbeing.
The anticipation is that the development and delivery of effective self-help psychological interventions for caregiver(s) of CYP with coeliac disease will support appropriate management of the gluten-free diet, alongside psychological wellbeing.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Parent self-help psychological resource
A self-help psychological resource will be provided for parents to use with their CYP in the home.
Parent self-help psychological resource
A self-help psychological resource designed alongside families and clinicians, to be delivered to parents of CYP with coeliac disease. The resource will focus on providing psychoeducation on the gluten-free diet, concerns around dietary management, using family's strengths to support dietary management, managing outside the home, and transition to independent management of the gluten-free diet.
Wait list control
Parents randomised to the control arm will be put on the waiting list (wait-list controls) to receive the group intervention after they have completed their final follow-up at 2 months.
No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Willingness to take part in a self-help psychological intervention
* Participant must have the ability to provide informed consent/assent. Caregiver(s) who consent to the study will still be able to take part, even if their CYP does not provide assent to complete outcome measures
Exclusion Criteria
* Participant identified by clinical team as not appropriate (e.g. undergoing treatment for other complex difficulties)
* English proficiency unsuitable for participation in self-help psychological intervention and/ or online survey.
