Thrive Person-Centered Planning Program for Young Adults With Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Randomized Controlled Trial of the Thrive Person-Centered Planning Program for Young Adults With FASD

This study evaluates the Thrive person centered planning program for young adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Participants are randomized to either an immediate start or delayed start group for the psychoeducation phase. Following this phase, participants are randomized again to receive the intervention in either an individual or group based format. Participants complete repeated online assessments at multiple timepoints over approximately 10 months to evaluate whether the program improves goal setting, social support, and quality of life.

This study is a randomized, multi stage trial with two sequential randomization timepoints. At baseline, participants are randomized to either an immediate start psychoeducation group or a delayed start group. After completion of the psychoeducation phase, participants undergo a second randomization to receive the intervention in either an individual or group based goal setting format. This results in four study arms representing combinations of intervention timing and delivery format. Participants complete repeated assessments at multiple timepoints over approximately 10 months to evaluate effectiveness, goal setting format differences, and maintenance of outcomes.
