The Adolescent Transitions Program for High-Risk Teens and Their Parents: Toward a School-Based Intervention.
Andrews, David W.; And Others
Education and Treatment of Children, v18 n4 p478-98 Nov 1995
This cognitive-behavioral middle school prevention program includes both parent- and teen-based curricula focusing on precursors to problem behavior such as communication, limit setting, problem solving, goal setting, and dealing with negative peer influences. Results from 158 participating families found the program effective in engaging both parents and teens, teaching targeted skills, and reducing parent-child conflict. (Author/PB)
