Overview
Why is this study being done?
Caregiver support is important for adolescent mental health and may help young people manage the negative impacts of difficult experiences, such as racial-ethnic discrimination. We hope to learn more about how caregivers support their adolescents and use the information gained from this study to create programs for Latine adolescent health and well-being.
Teens and their caregivers must be able to participate in the study, as it is important for us to gain both perspectives on these topics.
Who can take part in this study?
Teens (ages 13-17) who identify as Latine/Hispanic and a primary caregiver who identifies as Latine/Hispanic.
Description
What will happen during the study?
- Teens and parents/caregivers will complete a 30-minute survey.
- The survey will be conducted online by the teen and parent separately at a location most convenient for the participant and will include questions about discrimination experiences, mental health, and caregiver support.
- If interested, at a later time, they may be contacted to participate in a 1-hour interview.
- Interviews will be offered primarily in-person at a public location convenient to the participant (library, community center, etc.). If an in-person interview is not possible, we can arrange a video call interview, instead.
- Both teen and caregiver will receive a gift card for participating.
