Adolescents and parents admitted to our study receive either an adolescent-only health
education program that focuses on general health risk behaviors related to HIV/AIDS,
smoking, diet and exercise or one that focuses on family-based HIV/AIDS education through
safe decision-making and control of one's emotions as well as parent-child interactions that
are associated with dysregulated affect, subsequent parenting deficits and adolescent HIV
risk behaviors.
