Summary

This study tests a mobile health app designed to reduce parenting stress for caregivers of justice-involved youth aged 12-17. The app aims to help parents feel more mindful and less stressed, which may improve their teen's engagement in substance use treatment. Researchers will measure changes in parenting stress, mindfulness, and youth treatment participation over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mHealth parenting stress app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, accessible tool to help caregivers manage stress and support their children's treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply widely. The app may not reduce stress or improve treatment engagement as hoped.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: The following is a description for the inclusion criteria for aims 1 and 2 for caregivers participating in this research study. Eligible caregivers must be the parent or legal guardian of a youth who is: * currently detained in a juvenile detention center or correctional facility, mandated by the juvenile justice system to a congregate out-of-home placement (e.g., group home); * 12-17 years old; * has an identified substance use or substance use and co-occurring mental health need; * and is scheduled to be released into the community to the care of the enrolled caregiver. The following is a description for the inclusion criteria for aim 3 for system stakeholders participating in this research study. Eligible behavioral health providers (e.g., substance use counselor) must: * Provide substance use or dual diagnosis treatment justice-involved youth and their caregivers, * be over 18 years old, * and speak English fluently. Eligible juvenile probation officers must be: * 18 years or older * and speak fluent English. Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria for all participants includes: * lack of proficiency in English * and cognitive impairment or active psychosis which precludes provision of informed consent. Caregivers who do not have access to a device with internet access will also not be eligible as this would preclude them from being able to participate in the mHealth intervention.
