Official title
A Randomized Trial of Letting Go and Staying Connected, an Interactive Parenting Intervention to Reduce Risky Behaviors Among Students
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Alcohol abuse is the leading cause of death and serious injury among college students, and students also experience significant harms from other types of substance misuse and risk behaviors. The proposed project is a randomized controlled trials that will test the protective effects of Letting Go and Staying Connected, a handbook for parents of students who are transitioning for the first time from home to college, the time when students are at greatest risk. The handbook encourages parent skill development and good management of their student's new independence, providing a clear framework to guide them in parenting at this stage. Targeted outcomes include reduction of substance use and risk behaviors. The primary hypothesis is that students who are in one of the two handbook conditions with their parents will report lower substance use and risk behaviors in the two years after college entry.
