Teens and Technology (T&T): Formative Research to Develop an mHealth App to Prevent Violence and Alcohol Use among Teens

Welcome to the online source for information about the Teens and Technology Study (T&T)! On this page, you can learn more about the goals of this project and the research team.

This exciting new study is being conducted among teens (ages 14-17 years old), professionals who work directly with teens and guardians/caregivers of teens across the United States. As part of this project, researchers are seeking to better understand whether a phone app that works to help prevent aggression and alcohol use might work among teens. The research is designed to better understand the use of technology among teens and determine whether guardians and/or teachers/professionals would be open to using an in-school phone app that focuses on aggression and alcohol use prevention among teens.
