The Strong African American Families Program, a universal preventive intervention to deter alcohol use among rural African American adolescents, was evaluated in a cluster-randomized prevention trial. This 7-week family skills training program is based on a contextual model in which intervention effects on youth protective factors lead to changes in alcohol use. African American 11-year-olds and their primary caregivers from 9 rural communities (N = 332 families) were randomly selected for study participation. Communities were randomized to prevention and control conditions. Intent-to-treat analyses indicated that fewer prevention than control adolescents initiated alcohol use; those who did evinced slower increases in use over time. Intervention-induced changes in youth protective factors mediated the effect of group assignment on long-term changes in use.
“强大非裔美国家庭计划”是一项旨在阻止农村非裔美国青少年饮酒的普遍性预防干预措施，该计划在一项整群随机预防试验中得到了评估。这个为期7周的家庭技能培训计划基于一种情境模型，即对青少年保护因素的干预效果会导致饮酒行为的改变。从9个农村社区随机选取了非裔美国11岁青少年及其主要照顾者（N = 332个家庭）参与研究。社区被随机分配到预防组和对照组。意向性分析表明，开始饮酒的预防组青少年比对照组少；那些开始饮酒的青少年饮酒量随时间的增长也较慢。干预引起的青少年保护因素变化介导了分组对饮酒长期变化的影响。
