Overall Duration
This study takes place over two sessions. The first session can be completed virtually or in-person, depending on your preference. The second session is virtual.

Study Activities
In the first session, teens and their legal guardians will review the study information and complete consent and assent. Teens will complete a short clinical interview and two questionnaires, and guardians will complete one questionnaire.

In the second session, teens and guardians will participate in a focus group where they are introduced to a digital tool being developed for the study and asked to share their feedback. The discussion includes both joint and age-specific group sessions. After the focus group, teens and guardians will each complete two additional questionnaires.

Optional Notes
All activities can be completed online, and no travel is required. This phase of the study is designed to understand whether the digital tool is easy to use, acceptable, and helpful for teens and their guardians.

Participating teens and their guardians may receive up to $150 each for their time in this study. Additional opportunities to participate and earn compensation may be available in future phases of the project.

There is no cost for you to participate in our research study.
