Help improve health information for parents of preteens
Parents deserve access to science-backed health information they can use while raising their families. The BIPAS Study is a chance to learn more information about health issues that matter to you and your child, while also improving the program.
The BIPAS Study
Our digital program communicates with parents about alcohol and preteens – completely through your smartphone. Engage with the program on your own time, when and where you choose.
Parents who choose to participate will enroll with their preteen and receive information in our study app. Parents and preteens will complete surveys about their health experiences and perspectives over two years.
Interested in participating?
If you are eligible, a study team member will follow-up to schedule a phone call with you. On this call, we will tell you more about the study and help you set up our study app on your phone. Afterwards, you will fill out a survey at enrollment and then another survey after 3, 12, and 24 months. Your child will also fill out surveys at these time points. ​ You and your child will each receive an instant $25 gift card to a vendor of your choice after you complete each survey. Families who complete all study activities will receive $200 in gift cards.
About
BIPAS STUDY
The BIPAS study will enroll 2,000 families across the United States to participate for two years. Our long-term goal is to understand how well our program educates parents about early alcohol use in pre-teens. What we learn in this study will help us further develop this program and other programs about health topics that parents care about.
Our research team is led by Dr. Nisha Gottfredson O’Shea and comes from RTI International in Durham, NC and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This work is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
