Family Matters is a program that was designed to prevent adolescent tobacco and alcohol use by intervening with their families. The program consisted of mailing four booklets to the parent with subsequent telephone contacts by a health educator. Adolescent-parent pairs throughout the United States, identified by random digit dialing, were involved in the evaluation of Family Matters. Baseline data were collected from June 6, 1996 to February 24, 1997. As baseline data were collected, adolescent-parent pairs were randomly allocated to either receive the program or to serve as control. Follow-up interviews were conducted by telephone with parents and adolescents three months (January 24, 1997 to April 5, 1998) and one year after the program (August 19, 1997 to January 24, 1999). |
