Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

After development of the Talk Stem Familia (TSF) smart-speaker application prototype, the study will evaluate the prototype's efficacy in a within-subjects pre-post design study. The sample will contain 50 parent-student/child dyads who will use the Alexa skill app for 6 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will receive an Echo Dot device enabled with the application prototype using a research Amazon account created for each dyad. The Echo Dot devices will be preconfigured by project staff onto research Amazon accounts. Parents will come to one of several orientation sessions to obtain their device and set-up instructions; staff will provide follow-up phone support as needed. Usage data will show how much the device is used by each dyad. To ensure exposure to TSF, parents will be asked to engage at least 3 times per week; project staff will prompt parents bi-weekly (via text, email, device notification, phone) during the 6-week intervention to encourage usage and provide needed technical support.
