NCT ID NCT06839859
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online, 9-week program designed to help parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ youth of color become more supportive and accepting. Researchers will enroll 180 youth (ages 14-25) and their caregivers to see if the program reduces depression, anxiety, drug use, and other risks. Half the families start the program right away, while the other half wait and serve as a comparison group.

Active substance
Family Acceptance Project - Online (behavioral intervention: online group program for youth and caregivers)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a scalable online tool to reduce mental health risks and improve family relationships for LGBTQ+ youth of color.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (180 participants) with no control group for the first half, so results may not be generalizable. The program requires consistent internet access and English fluency, limiting reach.
