Over half reported that these advertisements were targeted, yet over 60% did not frequently purchase or share them.

We developed two themes through reflexive thematic analysis: \"Parental illness understanding,\" examining parents' understandings of their child's symptoms, and \"Redefining various parental roles,\" describing how parents navigated and redefined their roles throughout treatment. Parents suspected a psychological component in their child's symptoms before ICBT, which shaped their perception of ICBT as meaningful. While navigating parental roles was demanding and emotionally taxing, involving feelings of guilt and doubt, parents described a shift from chaos to a more balanced life.
