ABSTRACT
The Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10–14 (SFP 10–14) is a video-based program designed to reduce substance abuse and other problem behavior in youth. Objectives include: (1) building skills in youth to reduce risk and build protective factors, (2) improving parenting practices known to reduce risk in youth, and (3) building stronger family units to support and guide youth. The SFP 10–14 is a universal program designed for ethnically-diverse general populations at all economic and educational levels. The 10 to 14-year-old youth, late elementary and middle school age, attend the program and practice skills together with their parents.
