Summary
This study tests whether a program that coaches parents on talking to their teens about alcohol and social media can help prevent underage drinking. Researchers will enroll 900 parent-teen pairs (teens aged 12-17) in Texas. Some parents get the program alone, others get it plus a personalized feedback tool for their teen. The goal is to see if teens become more confident in refusing alcohol and less willing to drink.
