Project AIM Trial Summary

This trial tests if a mindfulness intervention delivered via smartphone app can help justice-involved youth on probation regulate their emotions and make healthier choices regarding alcohol use, drug use, sex, and aggression.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for justice-involved youth aged 13-18 on probation in Chicago's Cook County. Participants must understand consent procedures, speak English, have a legal guardian's permission if under 18, agree to participate, and own an Apple or Android phone. Those detained or in DCFS care are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two groups: one uses the Bodhi AIM meditation app (intervention group) and the other does not (control group). It aims to see if the app helps with emotion control and reduces risky behaviors related to HIV/STI like alcohol/cannabis use, sexual activity, and aggression.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves using a meditation app rather than medication, there aren't typical side effects. However, participants may experience discomfort when discussing personal topics or increased awareness of emotions during mindfulness practice.
