NCT ID NCT06672679
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tested a 6-week family-based program called Juntos to prevent dating violence among Latine adolescents aged 12-16 and their caregivers. 41 families in Pittsburgh were randomly assigned to the program or a resource guide. The study measured how acceptable and feasible the program is, and whether it boosts confidence in preventing dating violence.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Juntos family-based intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help reduce dating violence among Latine adolescents by strengthening family communication and prevention skills.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 41 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program is still being tested for feasibility and acceptability, not yet proven to prevent violence.
