Parenting Stress mHealth App for Caregivers of Justice-Involved Youth
This study is testing a mobile health (mHealth) app designed to help caregivers reduce parenting stress. This app, called "mHealth parenting stress app," aims to improve how well young people engage in community-based treatment for substance use. You may be able to join if you are a parent or legal guardian of a youth, aged 12 or older, who is currently in a juvenile detention center or correctional facility, or has been ordered by the juvenile justice system to live in a group home. The study will measure changes in your mindful parenting and overall parenting stress at 3 and 6 months after you start using the app. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 60 participants.

What this trial measures
- Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale (Mindful Parenting)3 months post baseline
The Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale is an 8-item self-report of mindful parenting, including four sub-scales reflecting present-centered emotional awareness in parenting, present-centered attention in parenting, non-reactivity/low reactivity in parenting, and non-judgmental acceptance in parenting that will be used to measure mindful parenting as a construct. Each item is rated on a 1 to 5 scale and items are summed to create sub-scale scores (possible range=8 to 40); higher scores indicate greater mindful parenting.

Each item is rated on a 1 to 5 scale and items are summed to create sub-scale scores (possible range=8 to 40); higher scores indicate greater mindful parenting.
- Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents (Parenting Stress)3 months post baseline
The Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents (SIPA) is a 90-item self-report measure of parenting stress. Items are rated on a 1 to 5 scale and summed to create sub-scale scores; higher scores reflect greater parenting stress.
- Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents (Parenting Stress)6 months post baseline
The Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents (SIPA) is a 90-item self-report measure of parenting stress. Items are rated on a 1 to 5 scale and summed to create sub-scale scores (possible range=90 to 450); higher scores reflect greater parenting stress.
- Parenting Self-Efficacy3 months post baseline
Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale (PSES) is a 20-item assessment of caregivers' perceived parenting ability across 3 dimensions: parental connection, behavioral influence, and psychological autonomy and used to measure parenting self-efficacy. Items are rated on a scale from 0 to 10 (possible range=0 to 200) with higher scores reflecting greater parenting self-efficacy.

- Child and Adolescent Services Assessment (Barriers to Youth Treatment)3 months post baseline
The Child and Adolescent Services Assessment (CASA) is a parent-report instrument designed to assess the use of behavioral health services by children ages 8 years to 17 years. The CASA includes 31 settings covering inpatient, outpatient, and informal services provided by a variety of child-serving providers and sectors. This instrument collects information on whether a service was ever used, as well as more detailed information (length of stay/number of visits, focus of treatment) on services used in the recent past. Select items from the CASA will assess 16 barriers to youths' services use (e.g., language, transportation, cost, stigma). Caregivers will report whether each barrier was a concern during the 3 months prior to the youths' detention or for follow-ups, in the 3 months since the last assessment (6 months post baseline).

- Motivation for Youth Treatment3 months post baseline
Motivation for Youth's Treatment Scale (MYTS) is an 8-item measure of intrinsic motivation for youth treatment and assesses a youth and caregiver's problem recognition and treatment readiness. Responses are rated on a 1 to 5 scale and are summed to yield two sub-scale scores (problem recognition: possible range=3 to 15; treatment readiness: possible range=5 to 25). Higher scores reflect higher motivation.
