ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Testing ALERT With GTO in Middle Schools," is looking to see how well a program called Project ALERT works to help prevent substance abuse among middle school students. The study will also use a tool called Getting To Outcomes to support the program's effectiveness. The goal is to gather information on how this program can be improved and how well it helps students stay away from drugs and alcohol.

If you're a 7th grader, typically aged 12-14, attending one of the participating schools, you might be eligible to join this study. Teachers and school staff who want to be part of the research are also welcome to participate. Those who join can expect to engage in activities that promote awareness and prevention of substance abuse, and there will be opportunities for both students and teachers to share their experiences. It's important to know that this study is currently looking for participants, so if you or someone you know fits the criteria, it could be a great opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause!
