Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to compare two versions of an intervention focused on teaching 10-14-year-old Latina/o adolescent's skills that will decrease the likelihood that they will use tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. We are also interested in determining how cultural context is related to substance use and whether additional information about other tobacco products should be added to the GMIT intervention.

Detailed Description

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

All adolescents will receive the Group Motivational Interviewing for Teens (GMIT) intervention. GMIT is an evidence-based group intervention that has been shown to prevent substance use among adolescents. In this project, GMIT will be delivered virtually in a group setting to multiple Latina/o adolescents. In addition, some parents will virtually participate in a parent-only support group; the other parents will not participate in any group.

In this study, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive one of two versions of an alcohol, drug, and tobacco program. As part of the program teen participants will virtually attend six 30-min intervention sessions with other teens. Parents may also participate in virtual group sessions. Participants will be asked on three separate occasions (before, immediately after, and 3 months after the sessions) to complete forms (phone/online) that ask questions about teens behavior at home, school, and in the community.
