Durham, NC, May 22, 2014\u2014Researchers at innovation Research & Training (iRT) are seeking families with third, fourth, and fifth grade students to take part in a study looking at media, alcohol, and tobacco.<\/p>\n

The Family Media Project is a research study about how family use of a computer program may influence media use and children\u2019s health. The researchers are interested in learning whether using the software program together as a family can have a positive effect by reducing children\u2019s interest in using alcohol or tobacco in the future. Parents are eligible to receive up to $95 plus mileage reimbursement for the family\u2019s completion of the study together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim is to get a better understanding of how families use media together such as computers, televisions, video games, and mobile devices to reduce children\u2019s substance abuse experimentation,\u201d said Dr. Tara Weatherholt, project director. \u201cParticipation in this fun-filled and educational project encourages family time and helps foster conversations about substance use, even before it begins in young children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the Family Media Project is recruiting children in third, fourth, and fifth grades and their parents or legal guardians. As part of the project, parents will receive a free computer program to use at home for about three hours with their children. Families will have a month to play the game together. Parents and children must record the time that they spend using the computer program. Families will meet with a project staff member three times over a four-month period to complete questionnaires. These meetings will be scheduled in a public location at the family\u2019s convenience.<\/p>\n

To be eligible to participate in the project, families must be able to speak English and have access to the Internet and a CD ROM. The project is seeking families with third, fourth, or fifth grade children who reside in Ellis, Navarro, or Hill counties.<\/p>\n
