This trial is for African American adolescents aged 10-13 and their primary caregivers. Caregivers must be the youth's primary guardian and live in the same household. Those with severe disabilities, psychoses, or conditions affecting participation are excluded, as are youths with MRI contraindications or chronic illnesses impacting inflammatory panels.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Health and Resilience Project: Foundations is testing the Strong African American Families (SAAF) program to see if it helps prevent substance abuse among young African Americans. Participants will either receive SAAF or a parenting book, and their stress coping abilities based on a neuroimmune model will be assessed.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 associated with participating. However, participants may experience discomfort from discussing personal issues during sessions.
