Digital Support Strategies for Caregiver Home Practice
This study is testing a smartphone app called "Engaging Families home practice app." This app is designed to help caregivers practice skills they learn in the Bridges program, which is a family-based program to prevent youth substance use and mental illness. You would be assigned to either use the Engaging Families app or another app called Cozi Family Organizer. Researchers want to see if the Engaging Families app is easy to use and helpful for caregivers. To join, you need to be a caregiver of a child aged 11-17, own and regularly use a smartphone, speak English or Spanish, and already be enrolled in the Bridges program. The study will measure how acceptable and feasible the app is, and how much home practice of skills occurs. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 96 participants. You would be assigned to one of two groups: either receiving the Engaging Families home practice app or the Cozi Family Organizer app.
- What's involved
- You would use a smartphone app for approximately 2-3 months. Your home practice of skills will be measured three times during the intervention, up to 8 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your participation will be assessed at post-intervention, approximately 2-3 months after the start of the study.

What this trial measures
- Acceptability of the interventionPost-intervention, approximately 2-3 months post baseline
Acceptability of the intervention will be assessed using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). This measure was developed specifically to support assessing the acceptability of implementation of a new intervention. Psychometric properties of this measure were assessed in prior studies. The final measures exhibited discriminate content validity and acceptable model fit. See Weiner, B.J., Lewis, C.C., Stanick, C. et al. Psychometric assessment of three newly developed implementation outcome measures. Implementation Sci 12, 108 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13012-017-0635-3 for more information. The following items are rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (Complete disagree to Completely agree): \[This program\] meets my approval. \[This program\] is appealing to me. I like \[this program\]. I welcome \[this program\].
- Intervention FeasibilityPost-intervention, approximately 2-3 months post baseline
Feasibility of the intervention will be assessed using the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (AIM). This measure was developed specifically to support assessing the feasibility of implementation of a new intervention. Psychometric properties of this measure were assessed in prior studies. The final measures exhibited discriminate content validity and acceptable model fit. See Weiner, B.J., Lewis, C.C., Stanick, C. et al. Psychometric assessment of three newly developed implementation outcome measures. Implementation Sci 12, 108 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13012-017-0635-3 for more information. The following items are rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (Complete disagree to Completely agree): 1. (THIS INTERVENTION) seems implementable. 2. (THIS INTERVENTION) seems possible. 3. (THIS INTERVENTION) seems doable. 4. (THIS INTERVENTION) seems easy to use.
- Home practice of skills3 times during the intervention, up to 8 weeks
At Sessions 2, 3, and 4, parents will respond to three questions about their experience completing home practice on a 6-point Likert-type scale: How many times did you practice \[the skill\]? (0 = did no practice to 5+ times) How well are you able to use \[the skill\] with your teen? (0 = did not practice, 1 = not at all to 5 = very well) How helpful was it to use \[the skill\] with your teen? (0 = did not practice, 1 = not at all to 5 = very helpful)
