The program is influenced by culturally specific models developed for Hispanic populations in the United States, and is delivered primarily through multi-parent groups, which aim to develop effective parenting skills. The multi-parent groups, led by a trained facilitator, meet for 8 weekly two-hour group sessions and 4 one-hour family visits during the 12 weeks. Each group has 12 to 15 parents, with at least one parent from each participating family. Group sessions are conducted by two trained facilitators and include problem posing and learning exercises. Group discussions aim to increase parents’ understanding of their role in protecting their adolescent from harmful and risky behaviors and to facilitate parental investment.
