Summary

This study is for primary caregivers in the Bronx who feel stressed. It tests a 12-week program called CARE, plus a phone app (Valera) that gives parenting tips and connects families to a care manager. The goal is to see if these tools can lower stress and help parents support their children better. About 390 caregivers will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: CARE Program and Valera health application
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a practical way to reduce parental stress and improve mental health support for families in underserved communities.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary based on individual participation. The study is still recruiting and outcomes are based on self-reported stress levels.
