This study, called Pathways 2 Success, is looking at three different programs to help high school students who are at risk for conduct problems like Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Conduct Disorder. You might be assigned to a program called L2B, which teaches mindfulness skills in a group setting. Another option is L2B + App, which adds a mobile app to the L2B program to help you practice mindfulness daily. The third program is "skills for success," focusing on decision-making and healthy relationships. The study wants to see how well these programs work and if they are easy to use. Success will be measured by looking at changes in self-reported delinquency and executive functioning (skills like planning and self-control) over about six months. To join, you need to be a 9th or 10th grader in a partner school district, referred due to social/emotional risk or conduct concerns, and you and your parents must speak English. The current recruitment status is unclear.
