CAP Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CAP InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
CAP is a parent-focused intervention being developed to help parents in states with legalized medical marijuana to address adolescent marijuana use. The proposed intervention will address the effects of marijuana on adolescent behavioral health, brain development, and social functioning and enhance parent motivation to use CAP concepts. Guided by formative research, CAP will build skills and provide strategies to: (1) restrict adolescent exposure to cannabis products and parent cannabis use in the home, (2) improve parent communication about their own cannabis use and expectations about youth marijuana use, (3) improve monitoring, (4) increase positive reinforcement for youth abstinence, and (5) address parent negative emotions. Parents will meet in groups with an interventionist for two 75-minute sessions. Presentations, discussion, and roleplay will be used to help parents gain mastery of preventive parenting behaviors and related strategies to reduce adolescent marijuana use.
Group II: Wait ListActive Control1 Intervention
Parents randomly assigned to Wait List Delayed CAP (WL) will receive no intervention for the baseline to 3-month follow-up period. Thus, the WL condition will serve as a comparison group from baseline to the 3-month assessment point. After the 3-month follow-up assessment, WL parents will be offered the CAP intervention. The final assessment for the WL participants will function as a 3-month follow-up assessment, allowing us to aggregate data all 60 parent-adolescent dyads to conduct within group analyses of pre- to post-intervention change on key variables of interest.
