Brief Summary
The goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-based tobacco use prevention intervention directed at immigrant Latino parents of middle school aged youth as delivered in partnership with seven community organizations. The primary outcomes of the study are youth susceptibility to tobacco use, and changes in parenting practices among the parents of the youth. The planning, initiation, and delivery of the intervention will occur in collaboration with community organizations that have identified this project as important to the families they serve. Though the collaboratively designed training curriculum has been successfully tested and a study design for the current project established, a substantive development period for this project will allow the research team and collaborating organizations to consider key aspects of design and delivery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Comparison of susceptibility rate differences between the control and intervention groups
Youth tobacco use intentions, Questions are 1) "Do you think you will try a cigarette soon?' (not asked of puffers), 2) "Do you think you will be smoking cigarettes one year from now?", and 3) "If one of your best friends were to offer you a cigarette, would you smoke it?" A never-smoker will be considered non-susceptible if answer to the first question is 'No' and answers to both questions 2 and 3 are 'Definitely not'; a puffer will be considered non-susceptible if answers to questions 2 and 3 are 'Definitely not'.
