Summary

This trial will assess if a parenting program can help Hispanic LGBT youth reduce drug use and depression, and improve family support and acceptance.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Hispanic sexual minority youth aged 13-17 living in South Florida who have disclosed their status to a parent. It's open to families where at least one parent identifies as Hispanic and agrees to participate. Families planning to move from South Florida or transgender adolescents are excluded.

What is being tested?

The 'Families With Pride' intervention aims to prevent/reduce drug use and depression among Hispanic sexual minority youth. It will test if the program enhances family support, acceptance, functioning, and reduces stress related to being a Hispanic sexual minority.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a parenting intervention study rather than a medical treatment, there aren't typical side effects like with medication. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing sensitive topics.
