View Resource

Presents the results of a randomized, attention-controlled trial comparing the Strong African American Families–Teen (SAAF–T) family-centered intervention program for adolescents to a comparable family-centered control program that focused on health and nutrition. African American families from six counties in rural Georgia with a 10th-grade student participated in the study. The study focused on family management skills, culturally consistent programming, and community-based implementation procedures.
