Family-Skills Training to Prevent Tobacco and Other Substance Use in Latino Youth: A CBPR RCT
The goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-based tobacco use
prevention intervention directed at immigrant Latino parents of middle school aged youth as
delivered in partnership with seven community organizations. The primary outcomes of the
study are youth susceptibility to tobacco use, and changes in parenting practices among the
parents of the youth. The planning, initiation, and delivery of the intervention will occur
in collaboration with community organizations that have identified this project as important
to the families they serve. Though the collaboratively designed training curriculum has been
successfully tested and a study design for the current project established, a substantive
development period for this project will allow the research team and collaborating
organizations to consider key aspects of design and delivery.

This study design is a randomized (at the level of the family) controlled trial (RCT), with
a delayed treatment condition for the control group. Participants will be enrolled from
community agencies known and trusted within the Latino community including two clinics, a
school, three social service agencies and a University of Minnesota Extension site that are
likely end-users of the intervention programming.
