Center for Addiction Medicine at Mass General Hospital Seek Participants for a Randomized Clinical Trial of a Novel Drug Education and Diversion Program for Students

Middle and high school students are invited to participate in a randomized clinical trial conducted by Principal Investigator Randi Schuster, PhD, Clinical Investigator at Mass General Research Institute. Researchers at the Center for Addiction Medicine at Mass General Brigham are testing the effectiveness of iDECIDE (Drug Education Curriculum: Intervention, Diversion, and Empowerment) on middle and high school students who have violated their school substance use policies (e.g., using at school or school sanctioned events, showing up to school intoxicated). The goal is to provide schools with a science-based intervention as an alternative to punitive school responses in order to address substance use in schools, as well as provide students with the proper knowledge and skills they need to make healthy decisions. Study participants may be compensated up to $390.

To be eligible, participants must:

  1.  Be currently enrolled in middle or high school

  2.  Have violated their school substance use policy within the past 30 days

  3.  Be able to commit to nine study visits over approximately one year

  4.  Have access to reliable internet connection and a device that can run Zoom
