Adolescent Behavioral Health and Substance Use Intervention Study

This study is testing two different web-based programs, ePACE and eFACE, to help adolescents (ages 12-17) who are starting to have problems with substance use and mental health issues. ePACE is a personalized program where you can choose what content you want to see, while eFACE offers content in a fixed order. Researchers want to see if these programs can reduce substance use and improve mental health over 3 and 6 months. You might be able to join if you are 12-17 years old, live with a parent, have mild to moderate substance use and mental health issues, and speak English well. The study is currently recruiting 120 participants.

  • Adolescent Substance Use from baseline to 3 months3 months

    Using a Timeline Followback approach, the total number of days on which any substances were used (excluding tobacco and appropriately used prescription medications) will be identified and the percentage of these days in the prior 90 days will be calculated for each assessment point. The change in substance use from baseline to 3-months will serve as a primary outcome measure.
