Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week life skills training program can reduce the intention to use substances among 20 teens aged 12-17 living in foster homes. The program teaches emotional control, resisting peer pressure, and critical thinking. Researchers will also use EEG brain scans to see if the training changes brain activity related to decision-making.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
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.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Aug 2026

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
