ClinConnect Summary

The Parenting in 2 Worlds Multisite Trial is a research study aimed at helping American Indian and Alaska Native parents who live in urban areas. The main goal is to see how effective a parenting program called Parenting in 2 Worlds (P2W) is in improving family life and reducing risky behaviors in teenagers aged 12 to 17. This program will be tested against another program that offers general health information. The study will take place in four regions: Buffalo/Niagara, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Denver, and Phoenix. Researchers are particularly interested in how different factors, such as a parent's financial situation or their connection to their culture, might affect the program's success.

To participate in this study, parents or guardians must be American Indian and responsible for a child aged 12 to 17 who attends an urban school. The children must also be identified as American Indian. Participants can expect to engage in discussions and activities that aim to strengthen their parenting skills and improve family relationships. The ultimate hope is that these positive changes will lead to healthier choices and behaviors for the teenagers involved. If you're interested, this study is currently recruiting participants and could be a valuable opportunity for families looking for support.
