Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-based intervention that can be implemented in conjunction with existing school-based programs designed to prevent or reduce sexual risk behavior or to prevent or reduce tobacco use in young adolescents. The parent programs are expected to have effects on adolescent behavior over and above the effects of the school-based programs.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Linking Lives parent-based intervention

Parent intervention consists of mothers attending two, 2.5 hour-long, face-to-face sessions at the school during which they are given an intervention manual, two homework assignments, and a manual for their adolescent. Parents also receive two booster telephone calls approximately one-month and six-months after completing the intervention. As part of the comparison condition, school-based interventions for adolescents also consist of two, 2.5 hour-long, face-to-face sessions at schools during which they complete either the Project TNT intervention for preventing tobacco use or the Making a Difference intervention for reducing sexual risk behavior.
