NCT06176638 · ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING
Resettled Refugee Families for Healing
This trial is testing a combination of family group sessions and a virtual peer mentoring program for teenagers in Nebraska whose parents came to the U.S. as refugees. The goal is to see whether these behavioral supports reduce anxiety, depression, PTSD, and aggressive behavior in youth affected by intergenerational trauma. This is a Phase NA effectiveness trial, meaning researchers are evaluating how well a structured program works in a real-world setting.
