Bright Horizons for Alcohol and Substance Use in Native American Youth

This study is evaluating a program called 'Bright Horizons' to see if it can help reduce binge drinking and substance use in young people. Bright Horizons is a brief program developed with the White Mountain Apache Tribe that teaches skills like managing emotions and solving problems. You might be able to join if you are Native American, between 10 and 24 years old, live near the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, and have recently had a binge drinking event. The study will measure changes in alcohol use over 8 weeks to see how effective Bright Horizons is. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This study is an interventional study planning to enroll 100 participants. It compares the Bright Horizons program to case management.
What's involved
Participants will receive a lesson on binge substance use and answer questions at three time points: at enrollment, 4 weeks later, and 8 weeks after that visit.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
