Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two versions of an intervention focused on teaching 10-14-year-old Latina/o adolescent's skills that will decrease the likelihood that they will use tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. We are also interested in determining how cultural context is related to substance use and whether additional information about other tobacco products should be added to the GMIT intervention.
