Summary

This trialstudies a computerized treatment for teens aged 13-17 in South Carolina with alcohol/cannabis use. Follow-ups will be taken 1 & 3 months after treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people aged 13-17 who are looking for help with alcohol or cannabis use and have used both in the past three months. They must be willing to seek treatment and have a caregiver who can consent to their participation. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests a computerized task called modified Approach-Avoidance Task (mAAT) designed to change automatic tendencies towards substance use. Participants will either receive mAAT that aims to modify this bias or one that does not, assessing its effectiveness over time.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention is a behavioral computerized task, there are no direct physical side effects like those associated with medication. However, participants may experience psychological discomfort if confronting substance-related cues.
