Study Summary

This trial will test a modified version of an existing electronic parent-based intervention to help curb college students' risky drinking and cannabis use.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for parents and their college-aged teens who are willing to participate together. It's aimed at reducing risky behaviors like underage drinking and cannabis use. To join, both parent and teen must agree and complete a baseline assessment.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing two electronic parent-based interventions (e-PBIs). The standard e-PBI focuses on alcohol, while the enhanced version, e-PBI+, includes additional content on cannabis risks based on recent scientific findings.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there aren't typical side effects as with drugs or surgery. However, participants may experience increased awareness or changes in attitudes towards substance use.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: e-PBI+Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

The e-PBI+ is an electronic handbook developed by the PI to guide parents in discussing drinking, behaviors, and consequences with their teens, with additional content on cannabis use.

Group II: e-PBIExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

the e-PBI is an electronic handbook developed by the PI to guide parents in discussing drinking, behaviors, and consequences with their teens.

Group III: e-ACActive Control1 Intervention

The e-AC is the attention matched control. They will receive general university-related materials to read, sections on parent and family resources (e.g., message from administrators, getting involved, academic calendar), advising, money matters, financial aid, campus life (arts, entertainment, housing, etc.), health and safety (health, counseling services, alcohol and drug laws). It is equivalent to the e-PBI+ and e-PBI on length of content and time to read. This group will not receive an intervention.
