Study Summary

This trial will test how well a parenting mindfully intervention works for reducing stress in parents of adolescents, compared to a parent education intervention.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for families with an adolescent aged 12-14 experiencing high stress. One caregiver must show significant stress and both the teen and at least one parent need to speak English well enough for surveys. Families can't join if the teen has intellectual disabilities, psychosis, or a past substance use disorder; or if any family member currently has untreated substance abuse (except tobacco) or active, untreated suicidality.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two programs: Parenting Mindfully (PM) and Parent Education (PE). It aims to see which is more effective in reducing parenting stress and preventing adolescent substance abuse. Parents are randomly assigned to either PM or PE intervention groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing personal issues during sessions.
