What this research studies
This research aims to develop a mobile intervention called 'Adolescent Clear30' specifically designed for youth aged 13-17 who regularly use cannabis. The tool will provide personalized feedback, daily communications, guided meditations, and multimedia content to support adolescents in reducing their cannabis use. It will work alongside existing support systems like therapy and school-based programs, and will also include a parent support guide to enhance its effectiveness. The intervention will utilize an AI-driven chatbot to offer additional support and resources.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents aged 13-17 who are regular cannabis users.
Not a fit: Patients who do not use cannabis or are outside the age range of 13-17 may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce cannabis use among adolescents, leading to improved mental health and overall well-being.
How similar studies have performed: While there are few existing mobile health solutions for cannabis use among adolescents, this approach is innovative and aims to fill a significant gap in available interventions.
