TECH App Marijuana Use Intervention for Court-Involved Adolescents

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cannabis Use, Adolescent

In brief

The study is about helping teens who are involved in the court system to cut down or quit using marijuana. Teens may be asked to test out an experimental smartphone app, called TECH, that will be used only by teens in this study. This app is a private online community where teens can work towards changing their substance use and other behavior with the help of other anonymous teens. We will use this information to learn how the app may help teens make a change and to improve the TECH app.
