NCT ID NCT05743699
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a program called Bright Horizons can help prevent binge drinking and drug use in Native American youth aged 10 to 24. The program teaches skills like managing emotions, coping with stress, and setting goals. Researchers will compare it to standard case management to see if it reduces alcohol use over 30 days.

- Bright Horizons program (behavioral intervention teaching emotion regulation, coping skills, and goal setting)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective, culturally tailored program to prevent binge drinking and drug use in Native American adolescents.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not reduce substance use more than standard care.
