The purpose of this study is to understand how an online digital health application (app) called FostrSpace can reduce substance use among youth (ages 13-20 years old) in foster care.
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify gaps in substance use prevention across existing CASA trainings and the FostrSpace app for foster youth and test how substance use trainings for CASA volunteers could help facilitate FostrSace app referrals to reduce and prevent substance use among CASA youth.
