Life Skills Training (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help vulnerable teens avoid substance use.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial (20 teens) with no phase, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so effects may be modest or hard to sustain.
As listed by the trial registrant
