Health and resilience program for Black youth and their caregivers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a “health and resilience” support program for Black/African American youth and their primary caregiver, using questionnaires and possibly brain scans. It may help families build coping skills and track changes in health-related responses over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Youth must be 10–13 years old and identify as Black/African American.
- A primary caregiver must join the study.
- The caregiver must live in the same household as the youth.
- The youth must be able to do MRI scans if asked (no metal in the body, and able to tolerate the scanner; not pregnant).
- Youth should not have medical conditions or medicines that strongly affect body inflammation tests (for example, diabetes, certain heart conditions, asthma, or cancer).
