First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests a coaching program called GRIT for teens aged 11-14 who have had four or more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and do not yet regularly use alcohol or cannabis. The program, delivered by community health workers over six video sessions, teaches self-regulation skills to both teens and their caregivers. Researchers will compare these families to a control group that receives a digital citizenship course, tracking substance use and emotional regulation for a year to see if GRIT helps prevent early substance use.
