The goal of this study is to understand how Bright Horizons impacts adolescents who have a recent binge substance use event. Participants will receive a lesson on binge substance use and answer questions at three different time points: when participants enroll in the study; 4 weeks later; and 4 weeks after that visit. Evaluation questions will ask about participants' substance use, family and peer relationships, and other emotions and behaviors.~Control participants will receive the Bright Horizons intervention after enrollment of all intervention participants is complete.
This study will test if a program called 'Bright Horizons' is effective at reducing binge substance use among adolescents.~Bright Horizons is a culturally adapted intervention developed and tested through a partnership between The White Mountain Apache Tribe and Johns Hopkins University. Bright Horizons is a brief intervention that teaches emotion regulation, coping skills, and problem solving. The intervention also uses goal setting to reduce alcohol and other substance use and to connect to individuals with treatment.
