简要总结
This trial examines the effectiveness of a novel neurodevelopmentally informed intervention - Adolescent Developmentally-Appropriate health Promotion Therapy (ADAPT) - on preventing alcohol use and promoting well-being among students in middle school in a heavy adolescent alcohol use region (Denmark). Using a 2-condition cluster-randomized controlled trial of students in 8th grade (ages 13-15), the following hypotheses are tested:
- Compared to adolescents in the Delayed Treatment Condition (DTC), ADAPT adolescents will show significant reductions in intentions to drink (primary outcome) from baseline to 3 months post intervention.
- Compared to adolescents in the DTC, ADAPT adolescents will show significant reductions in alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences, and significant increases in well-being and life satisfaction (secondary outcomes) from baseline to 3 months.
Additionally, acceptability and feasibility is examined.
详细描述
The main aim of this trial is to examine the effectiveness of a novel neurodevelopmentally informed intervention - Adolescent Developmentally-Appropriate health Promotion Therapy (ADAPT) - on preventing alcohol use and promoting well-being among students in middle school in a heavy adolescent alcohol use region (Denmark). Furthermore, we aim to examine ADAPT's feasibility and acceptability with students in middle school, their parents, and with staff (e.g., teachers and principals), to inform and guide next step, larger scale randomized controlled trials.
The study employs a 2-condition cluster-randomized controlled design in 8th grade students (ages 13-15), with the following conditions:
- ADAPT: ADAPT intervention (consisting of three group sessions with students and one meeting with parents per school class) will be conducted by study staff immediately after baseline.
- Delayed Treatment: ADAPT is offered to interested schools after the 3-month follow-up survey is completed.
The following hypotheses are tested:
- Compared to adolescents in the DTC, ADAPT adolescents will show significant reductions in intentions to drink (primary outcome) from baseline to 3 months post intervention.
- Compared to adolescents in the DTC, ADAPT adolescents will show significant reductions in alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences, and significant increases in well-being and life satisfaction (secondary outcomes) from baseline to 3 months.
