Funded Activity Summary

Parent-adolescent interactions predict adolescent involvement in alcohol and tobacco use, and parent-oriented programs reduce conduct problems. Nevertheless, parent training is a rare alcohol-tobacco-related prevention strategy. This research will evaluate a brief parent program for adolescents at risk of escalating alcohol-tobacco problems. The technology should be cost-effective and readily complement existing school prevention strategies.
