Brief Summary

This study was a randomized prevention trial investigating the efficacy of the Adults in the Making (AIM) prevention program against a control condition. The primary outcome variable is alcohol use. The study sample were 367 African American seniors in high school and their primary caregivers. The AIM program is a 6 session (12 hour) family-centered intervention designed to deter alcohol use.

Interventions

Adults in the Making program BEHAVIORAL

The AIM prevention program, modeled after an existing family-based skills-training intervention in a group format for rural African American preadolescents, consists of six consecutive weekly group meetings held at community facilities, with separate parent and youth skill-building curricula and a family curriculum. Each of the six meetings includes separate, concurrent training sessions for parents and youth, followed by a joint parent-youth session during which the families practice the skills they learned in their separate sessions. Concurrent and family sessions each last 1 hour. Thus, both parents and youth receive 12 hours of prevention training.
