PURSUIT: An Online Program for Youth Coping and Substance Use Prevention

This study is testing an online program called PURSUIT for young people aged 8 to 18 who are enrolled in a Michigan school. PURSUIT is designed to help youth and a caregiver learn coping skills for physical pain, stress, anxiety, and mood. For those aged 12 and older, it also includes information to prevent substance use. The main goal of this study is to see if PURSUIT is easy to use and if young people will stick with it. Researchers will also look at how PURSUIT might affect symptoms like pain, stress, and anxiety. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 100 participants.
