BrotherlyACT: A Tech-Enhanced Violence and Substance Use Intervention for Black Boys and Young Men

BrotherlyACT is a digital intervention to prevent youth violence and substance use among trauma-exposed young Black males, ages 125-24. This intervention combines life skills coaching, safety planning tools, and an AI-driven chatbot to reduce the risk and effects of violence and early substance use.

During the waiting period, participants in the control group do not receive the BrotherlyACT intervention but may continue with their usual activities or interventions.
