Summary

This pilot trial tests a program called FLARE, designed to prevent relationship abuse among sexual and gender diverse youth (ages 14-18) and their trusted adults. The program includes in-person, virtual, and self-paced activities created with input from teens and caregivers. The study measures how acceptable and feasible the program is, and whether it improves recognition of abusive behaviors and attitudes toward diverse identities.

What this could mean

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help prevent relationship abuse among sexual and gender diverse youth by improving recognition of abusive behaviors and fostering healthier relationships.
What could go wrong
