Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of family-based programs for reducing adolescent risk behaviors and promoting adolescent health; however, parent engagement, specifically in terms of recruitment and retention, remains a consistent challenge. Recruitment rates for family-based prevention programs range from 3 to 35%, while, on average, 28% of caregivers drop out before program completion. Thus, engagement of parents in prevention programming is of utmost concern to ensure families and youth benefit from implementation of family-based programs. In this manuscript, two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded projects share their experiences with engagement of parents in violence prevention programs. Problems related to parent engagement are reviewed, as are structural, attitudinal, and interpersonal barriers specific to recruitment and retention. Examples of successful implementation strategies identified across urban and rural sites are also analyzed and lessons learned are provided.
研究表明，以家庭为基础的项目在减少青少年危险行为和促进青少年健康方面具有有效性；然而，家长参与，特别是在招募和留住家长方面，仍然是一个持续存在的挑战。以家庭为基础的预防项目的招募率在3%至35%之间，而平均有28%的照顾者在项目完成前退出。因此，确保家长参与预防项目对于保证家庭和青少年从以家庭为基础的项目实施中受益至关重要。在本手稿中，两个由疾病控制与预防中心资助的项目分享了他们在让家长参与预防暴力项目方面的经验。文中回顾了与家长参与相关的问题，以及招募和留住家长所特有的结构、态度和人际障碍。还分析了在城市和农村地区确定的成功实施策略的实例，并提供了经验教训。
