What is being tested?

The study tests a program called EmBARK that trains parents in addressing their children's racial biases. It compares this approach against popular guidance methods and practice-first strategies to see which is more effective at reducing bias.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological discomfort when discussing sensitive topics like race.
