What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
brief motivational interviewing and a smartphone app for mindfulness training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to help teens reduce alcohol use in primary care settings.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage comparative effectiveness study. The mindfulness app may not provide additional benefit over counseling alone, and results may not apply to all teens.
