What this trial studies
This research evaluates a mobile app-based intervention called ColorBRAVE, aimed at guiding parents of K-2nd grade children in having productive conversations about race. The study will recruit a national sample of parents and their children, utilizing a wait-list controlled trial design to assess the intervention's impact. Key outcomes include improvements in prosocial behaviors and emotional well-being indicators among children. The study seeks to enhance parent-child communication regarding race and foster a supportive environment for children's development.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could empower parents to effectively discuss race with their children, promoting emotional well-being and prosocial behaviors.
