ASPIRE Trial Summary

This trial is testing a computer system that helps pediatricians screen and give brief interventions to adolescents for unhealthy alcohol use. It is being done in over 600 primary care practices across the United States.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for teens aged 14-17 who have used alcohol in the past year or ridden with an impaired driver. They must be going for a check-up, able to complete activities before their visit, and willing to share their cell phone number. Teens already in substance use treatment, with communication barriers, or certain medical/emotional issues can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a computer-assisted system that helps doctors talk to teens about alcohol use and safe riding/driving practices during regular check-ups. It's part of a large trial across many U.S. clinics aiming to reduce teen alcohol abuse and improve safety on the roads.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves counseling rather than medication, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal behaviors related to alcohol use.
