The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new smartphone-based intervention can help with factors related to opioid misuse in parents and adolescent/early adult children. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can this intervention improve knowledge of, and attitudes towards, opioid misuse over traditional opioid-related counseling alone? Participants will, in addition to receiving opioid counseling: * Join an online meeting with research staff to test the smartphone-based intervention * Report demographic information * Complete surveys about opioids * Complete a family medication safety plan * Complete surveys after 3, 6, and 9 months

Change in Adolescent Opioid Safety and Learning (AOSL) scale score over 9 month study
The fourth factor of the Adolescent Opioid Safety and Learning (AOSL) scale, Opioid Harm, measures understanding of negative social and professional effects of opioid misuse. Scores range from 3-15, where 3 indicates the lowest level of overall opioid harm awareness and 15 is the highest level.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.
Change in Safe Opioid Storage Behaviour over 9 months
This outcome contains 4 items from the Wisconsin Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success Community Survey - V02, comprised of yes/no questions. The minimum score for this scale is 0 (indicating least safe opioid storage behaviour) and the maximum is 4 (indicating most safe opioid storage behaviour).
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.
Change in Opioid Disposal Behaviour over 9 months
This outcome contains 6 items from the Wisconsin Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success Community Survey - V02, and includes yes/no questions. The minimum score for this scale is 0 (indicating least safe opioid disposal behaviour) and the maximum is 6 (indicating most safe opioid disposal behaviour).
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.
Change in Medication Understanding and Use Self-Efficacy (MUSE) scale scores over 9 months
This section covers the second factor, Learning About Medication, of the Medication Understanding and Use Self-Efficacy (MUSE) scale. This factor is comprised of 4 items, each scored 1-4. The minimum score is 4, and the maximum is 16. A score of 4 indicates lower understanding and self-efficacy in opioid use, whereas a score of 16 indicates highest level of understanding and self-efficacy in opioid use.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.
Change in Family Communication Behaviour Patterns over 9 months
This includes both the parent and child versions of the 26-item, 2-factor scales. The first factor, Conversation orientation, contains 15 items. The second factor, Conformity orientation, contains 11 items. Items are scored from 1-5, where 1 is "Disagree Strongly" and 5 is "Agree Strongly". Scale scores are averages for the two scales, with each item contributing equally. The minimum and maximum average scores, therefore, cannot exceed 1 and 5, respectively.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.
