About this study

In plain language

This study tests a parenting program for Hispanic teens who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual, or have same-sex attraction or sexual experiences. It looks at whether the program can prevent or reduce drug use and signs of depression. It also studies whether the program improves parent support, acceptance, and family relationships, and lowers stress.

This study will evaluate the effects of a parenting intervention for Hispanic sexual minority youth in preventing/reducing drug use and depressive symptoms. It will also examine whether the intervention improves parent social support for the adolescent, parent acceptance, family functioning, and whether it reduces general stress and stress associated with being a Hispanic sexual minority.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
