0-12 months
Cross-race Friendships
Parents will report the race of their K-2nd grade child's 5 closest friends - the number of cross-race friendships will consist of the number of friends that are race discordant to their child.
0-12 months
Colorblind Racial Attitudes (CoBRAS) Scale
Color-blind racial attitudes among parents will be assessed using the COBRAS Scale.
0-12 months
Child Prosocial Behavior Questionnaire (CPBQ)

0-12 months
Prosocial Children Measure
Children (ages 5-8 years old) will be introduced to a child and told scenarios in which that child must choose other children to engage in various activities with, among a group of diverse children. Children will be asked (1) whether they liked or disliked how that child chose the children to participate in the activity with and (2) if there is anything they would like to say to that child about their choice in children.
0-12 months
Child Bystander Response Questionnaire
Children will report the frequency with which they engage in different bystander behaviors when they see someone being treated poorly or unfairly due to their race, ethnicity, or cultural background.
0-12 months
Study Arms (2)
ColorBRAVE
EXPERIMENTALThe experimental group will be asked to download a multi-module mobile app designed to guide parents and caregivers in having conversations about race with their K-2nd grade children
Wait-list Control
OTHERThe wait-list control group will be placed on the wait-list for the first 6-weeks, the period in which the experimental group will complete the intervention program. Following the 6-week wait-list period they will receive the ColorBRAVE program.
Interventions
The intervention is a multi-module program delivered via a mobile app for parents of children in K-2nd grade. Each module in the program will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, with lessons facilitated through interactive storytelling, videos, and games.
