About this trial
This study will test if a program called 'Bright Horizons' is effective at reducing binge substance use among adolescents.

Bright Horizons is a brief intervention that teaches emotion regulation, coping skills, and problem solving. The intervention also uses goal setting to reduce alcohol and other substance use and to connect to individuals with treatment.
