LEAP Trial Summary

This trial will test whether task-shifting juvenile probation/parole officers to deliver parent activation, an EBP, can increase treatment engagement and improve JJ youth outcomes in rural communities.

This trial is for juvenile probation/parole officers in certain counties of Idaho or Oregon. It's designed to help them learn how to activate parents, aiming to improve outcomes for youth with substance use and antisocial behavior issues.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new approach called 'parent activation' against the usual services provided by the juvenile justice system. The goal is to see if this method can better engage parents and support youth treatment in rural areas.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 expected from participating.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Changes from Baseline scores compared to 36 months post-Baseline on fidelity to Parent Activation (measured at Baseline, End of Usual Services phase, every 3 months for 9 months, and then every 6 months until 36 months post-Baseline).

Changes in number and severity of criminal charges in de-identified youth records from Baseline compared with 36 months post-Baseline.

Secondary outcome measures

Changes from Baseline in attitudes towards Evidence-Based practices compared to 36 months post-Baseline (measured at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months).

Changes from Baseline in de-identified family outcomes (parent attendance and the number of positive youth drug screens) compared to 36 months post-Baseline (measured biweekly for 36 months).

Changes from Baseline in perceived agency support of evidence-based practices implementation compared to 36 months post-Baseline (measured at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months).

What ambitions is this experiment attempting to fulfill?

"This clinical trial, which will be conducted over a period of 36 months starting from Baseline, aims to measure changes in Parent Activation fidelity (measured at the beginning and subsequently every 3 months for 9 months then bi-annually until the conclusion). Furthermore secondary outcomes such as Maslach Burnout Inventory ratings, Parent Self-Agency Measure scores, and Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale results will also be recorded. These assessments are expected to take place during regular intervals throughout the duration of this study."
