Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this project is to compare the effect of a family-based HIV prevention program to the effect of an adolescent-only health promotion program on adolescent HIV risk and marijuana use among adolescents enrolled in the Juvenile Drug Court (JDC) of the Rhode Island Family Court.

Description:

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.
