First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a 10-week parenting program called Parenting in 2 Worlds (P2W), designed specifically for urban American Indian families. Researchers will compare it to a general health program in four U.S. cities with 1,440 parent-teen pairs. The goal is to see if P2W improves family relationships and reduces teen substance use, depression, and risky sexual behavior.

- If it works, this could provide an evidence-based program to strengthen urban American Indian families and reduce teen substance use, depression, and risky behaviors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial with 1,440 participants, so results are not yet proven. The program relies on self-reported outcomes, which may be biased, and effects may vary across different communities.
