This study will determine the comparative effectiveness of Go Act, a tailored advocacy curriculum versus Peer parent-directed peer learning for increasing parent activation for parents of youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Second, it will determine the comparative effectiveness of the two study arms for improving parent and youth health outcomes while assessing whether parent activation serves as a mechanism that mediates their effects on health outcomes.
