Summary
This trial will test an intervention to help minority youth with stress, sleep, and school performance.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for 9th grade students at three diverse, suburban high schools. Participants must be able to read English and provide both their own assent and parental consent. Students with endocrine disorders, those on corticosteroid medications, or who are pregnant cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests an intervention aimed at boosting ethnic and racial identity development in minority youth. It will also assess the impact on stress biology (like sleep quality), emotional well-being, executive functioning, and academic performance.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a psychological/educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience changes in stress levels or emotional responses due to the nature of the interventions.
