“…Treatment rates of racial and ethnic minority groups are lower than their Caucasian counterparts as well (Nam et al, 2017). Targeted solutions could include culturally sensitive campaigns with a goal encouraging and destigmatizing both substance use treatment and mental health treatment in an effort to prevent or delay the initiation of illicit substance use, an approach which has demonstrated some success in the literature thus far (Hopfer et al, 2013;Pang et al, 2014;Roberts et al, 2017;Williams et al, 2016). Regardless, the core of culturally sensitive programming must acknowledge and reconcile racial and ethnic minorities' long-standing mistrust of the health care system (Lo et al, 2018;Nicolaidis et al, 2010), and be transparent and engaged with the local community from design to implementation of any programming to achieve greater audiences and greater chance of success in reduction of harms associated with illicit substance use.…”

This longitudinal study applied general strain theory to elaborate specific stressful events’ lagged effects on risk of illicit substance use among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic adolescents, and relatedly evaluated the moderating role of race/ethnicity in explaining illicit use. Data were drawn from five waves representing 9 years (2002–2010) of the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), totaling 16,868 person-waves, and we engaged temporal ordering and generalized estimating equations (GEE) for panel data in STATA for data analysis. Results showed specific events affected risk of illicit substance use differentially across racial/ethnic groups. Strains commonly encountered in disorganized spaces affected non-Hispanic White’s risk. Measured strains did not affect non-Hispanic Black respondents and findings for Hispanic respondents point to the family as a possible strain. Results indicated legal drug use and depression increased risk of illicit use greatly. Race/ethnicity’s role in illicit use’s associations with several variables illustrates differential implications for racial/ethnic groups in policy and preventive interventions.

The present study seeks to understand how parents as prevention agents approach substance use prevention messages during the period of early adolescence. Students (N = 410) in a drug prevention trial completed surveys from 7th to 9th grade. Using longitudinal data, a series of latent transition analyses was conducted to identify major trends of parent-adolescent drug talk styles (i.e., never talked, situated direct, ongoing direct, situated indirect, and ongoing indirect) in control and treatment conditions. Findings demonstrate a developmental trend in drug talk styles toward a situated style of talk as youth transitioned from 7th grade to 9th grade. Findings also show that even though the drug prevention trial did not specifically target parental communication, parents in the treatment condition provide more ongoing substance use prevention messages to their adolescent children than do parents in the control condition. The present study discusses relevant developmental issues, potential intervention effects, and future research directions for communication research in substance use prevention.

“…Both kiR and FPNG have shown to be efficacious and also effective in preventing substance use for both youth (Williams, Ayers, Baldwin, & Marsiglia 2016;Marsiglia, Ayers, & Kiehne in press;Kulis et al 2005) and their parents (Williams, Marsiglia, Baldwin, & Ayers 2015).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the combined effectiveness of a parenting intervention, Families Preparing the New Generation (FPNG), and a youth curriculum, keepin ' it REAL (kiR), on substance use prevention for middle school students in a large urban metro area of the Southwest USA. The study aimed to generate usable knowledge on what works in adolescent substance use prevention and how it works best-a combined parent and youth programing or parent-only programming. A total of 532 adolescents in the 7th grade from 19 participating middle schools were randomly assigned into three intervention conditions: Parent-Youth (PY), Parent-Only (PO), and Comparison (C). This article focuses on the comparison between PY and PO in order to determine which intervention strategy works best to reduce adolescent substance use including, alcohol, inhalant, cigarette, and marijuana uses. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model examined the longitudinal data. The results for alcohol use show that PO yielded better results than PY and that PY outperformed C after 20 months. Further, PO showed a decreasing trajectory in any substance use over time since the implementation of the intervention. The effect sizes based on Cohen's h indicate small effects in any substance use and alcohol use for PO condition and smaller effects for the PY condition. These findings have implications for the design of future culturally specific parenting and youth prevention interventions with Latino families.
