Interventions

  • Engaging Families home practice app — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention is a smartphone application (or "app") that was developed to support caregiver home practice of intervention skills. The app was designed to support caregivers participating in the Bridges program, an evidence-based, family-based preventive intervention. Features of the app were developed to help caregivers overcome common barriers to practicing intervention skills at home.
  • Scheduling app — OTHER
    The Cozi Family Organizer is a smartphone application that will be given to caregivers randomized to the active control group. Cozi is a highly rated family organization app with features that include a family calendar, to do list, shopping list, and daily agenda. Cozi is available on Android and iPhone devices.

Study Details

This project is a pilot trial of the Engaging Families home practice smartphone application (or "app") as an add on to a family-based prevention program. Although there are many evidence-based preventive interventions delivered to caregivers to prevent youth substance use and mental illness and promote youth positive family and youth outcomes, the impact of these interventions is often limited by low home practice of intervention skills among caregivers. The Engaging Families home practice app is a digital behavior change intervention that was developed to support caregivers in practicing intervention skills at home. Researchers will ask participants if the app was acceptable and feasible for daily use at home. Researchers may also compare how often caregivers who use the study app do home practice of intervention skills compared with caregivers who do not receive the home practice app but are encouraged to use an app to help schedule their activities.
