Parent-adolescent pairs (N=180) will be recruited to participate in a randomized controlled trial. Parent consent and parent permission and youth assent will be sought. Participant pairs will be randomized into one of two study arms: intervention and wait-list control. All participants will complete a web-based pre-test questionnaire. Youth and parents in the intervention group will then receive access to DigiKnowIt News: Teen for one week. Approximately one week after completing the pre-test questionnaire, all participants will complete a web-based post-test questionnaire (the post-test for the intervention group will include Consumer Satisfaction Questions). Youth and parents in the wait-list control group will then receive access to DigiKnowIt News: Teen for one week. After one week, they will be asked to complete a Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DigiKnowIt News: Teen with parent-adolescent pairs.
