3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this randomized pilot trial is to test the feasibility of online recruitment and intervention delivery of the same Intervention to Prevent Cyber-victimization among Adolescents through Text-Messaging (iPACT) intervention content, delivered via mobile app (instead of SMS). This study includes a brief remote introductory session, followed by eight weeks of daily, tailored two-way messages, with an 8-week assessment. If successful, the IMPACT intervention will demonstrate feasibility and acceptability of an easily disseminable intervention to improve wellness and resilience among at-risk youth and their social network.
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate acceptability and feasibility, and to gather preliminary data about efficacy, of "iPACT" (intervention to Prevent Adolescent Cyber-victimization with Text messages), a brief in-clinic introductory session + longitudinal automated text-message-based secondary prevention program for adolescents with a history of past-year cyber-victimization presenting to a pediatric clinic for well-child visits.
This Phase II SBIR project is designed to address the critical public health problem of bullying and cyberbullying among middle school age youth. The project involves developing and testing bullying and cyberbullying prevention materials, including interactive classroom sessions and corresponding serious games, based on the evidence-based substance abuse prevention approach called Life Skills Training. The product has the potential to fill a gap in the intervention tools currently available to schools that can be widely disseminated throughout the country using existing marketing and dissemination channels and decrease the adverse consequences of bullying and cyberbullying as well as substance abuse.
