Guiding Good Choices for Health

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Adolescent Substance Use

In brief

This study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing Guiding Good Choices (GGC), an anticipatory guidance curriculum for parents of early adolescents, in three large, integrated healthcare systems. By "parents," the study team is referring here and throughout this protocol to those adults who are the primary caregivers of children, irrespective of their biological relationship to the child. In prior community trials, GGC has been shown to prevent adolescent substance use (alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana), depressive symptoms, and delinquent behavior. This study offers an opportunity to test GGC effectiveness with respect to improving adolescent behavioral health outcomes when implemented at scale in pediatric primary care within a pragmatic trial.

You may qualify if…

• Adolescent is empaneled with an intervention or control arm pediatrician in a participating clinic in one of the three healthcare systems (Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Henry Ford Health System)
• Adolescent is 12.00 - 12.99 years during intervention period (born between 6.1.2007 and 5.31.2009), which means that some adolescents may be 11 at baseline assessment

You may not qualify if…

• An intellectual, developmental or cognitive impairment that would prevent parent or adolescent from understanding the purpose of the study and measures, or, for those in the intervention arm, the Guiding Good Choices curriculum. For adolescents, exclusions will be operationalized by specific ICD-9/ICD-10 diagnostic codes documented in the EHR. For parents, impairment will be identified at the discretion of the pediatrician referring GGC or by study team members making study recruitment and intervention enrollment calls to parents.
• Parent's primary language is not English, as documented in the EHR or identified at study recruitment call
