NCT ID NCT05371665
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 6-week program designed to prevent anxiety and depression in American Indian children aged 8-12. The program uses games and role-play to help kids handle stress, and was adapted with input from the tribal community. Researchers worked with 28 children from two schools on a Northern Plains reservation to see if the program was feasible and well-liked.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Culturally adapted cognitive-behavioral prevention program (6 weekly sessions of games and role-play)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a culturally tailored, school-based program to help prevent anxiety and depression in American Indian children.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study with only 28 children, so results may not apply broadly. The program is still being refined and needs larger trials to confirm effectiveness.
