The Health and Resilience Project (HARP): Foundations is studying how well the Strong African American Families (SAAF) program helps African American kids aged 10-13 stay healthy and make good choices. In this study, kids and their main caregivers get picked randomly to be in the SAAF program or a group that just gets information by mail. The study checks how stress affects the brain and body by looking at things like inflammation (swelling) and risky behaviors, such as substance use. The study takes about 2.5 years and needs around 325 families to join from Athens, GA, and nearby places. Families will visit the University of Georgia's Bioimaging Research Center for tests, such as brain scans and blood draws, and answer questions on a computer. Kids should be African American or Black and between the ages of 10-13, and live with their main caregiver. Families with health issues that could affect the study, like diabetes or asthma, can't join.

• The study lasts 2.5 years and includes tests like brain scans and blood draws.
• Families get randomly assigned to either the SAAF program or a control group.
• Families are compensated for their time and travel to the research center.
