First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called Launch for young adults (ages 18-26) who misuse multiple drugs and their supportive parent. The program provides peer support to the young adult and helps parents use a reward-based system at home. The goal is to see if the program is practical and well-liked, setting the stage for a larger future trial.
