delivered to immigrant parents.24 The few studies available have mostly shown little or no improvement in the

intervention, poor information about the parenting programme and lack of trust towards professionals.24 A qualitative study conducted with Somali - born parents in Sweden showed that Somali parents experienced many societal challenges in the new country and in their parenting behaviours.
