Summary

"This trial aims to find the best way to help teenagers with mild alcohol problems in primary care settings. The study will compare different levels of caregiver involvement, like no involvement, a single live session, or

Who is the study for?

This trial is for U.S. teens aged 12-17 who have mild to moderate alcohol use problems, as determined by their primary care provider or clinical assessments. Participants must be fluent in English and are willing to undergo brief interventions aimed at reducing alcohol consumption.

What is being tested?

The study tests three approaches: Teen Intervene without caregiver involvement, Teen Intervene with a live session including the caregiver, and Family Check Up which is an online program for caregivers. The goal is to find out which method best reduces teen drinking.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves counseling sessions like motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy rather than medication, there are no typical drug side effects; however, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing substance use.
