“…Examples include enhanced education services for primarily low-income, very young children to improve their cognitive, language, and socialcognitive skills; [48][49][50] and interventions that strengthen parenting skills, parent-child communication, and affective relationships. These include universal (eg, the Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14 28,72,73 and the Computer-Based Intervention 54,55 ), selective (eg, the New Beginnings Program 56 ), and indicated programmes (eg, Functional Family Therapy 74 ). Across programmes, significant effects were identified in early childhood to late adolescence and include reduced child abuse and neglect, alcohol and other drug misuse, risky sexual activity, depression, and delinquency and crime, and greater educational attainment.…”

The burden of morbidity and mortality from non-communicable disease has risen worldwide and is accelerating in low-income and middle-income countries, whereas the burden from infectious diseases has declined. Since this transition, the prevention of non-communicable disease as well as communicable disease causes of adolescent mortality has risen in importance. Problem behaviours that increase the short-term or long-term likelihood of morbidity and mortality, including alcohol,

“…Among youth, computer-based interventions are well established and their effectiveness is comparable to other classroom- and parent-involved programs [11, 13]. One ten-session prevention program targeting middle school youth reduced past-month alcohol and cigarette use and instances of heavy drinking, as well as negative alcohol-related consequences among intervention group youth at 6-year follow-up [13]. Another 12-session internet-based program reduced cannabis and alcohol use among eighth grade students [14].…”

This study examined the effectiveness of two transtheoretical model-tailored, computer-delivered interventions designed to impact multiple substance use or energy balance behaviors in a middle school population recruited in schools. Twenty middle schools in Rhode Island including sixth grade students (N=4,158) were stratified and randomly assigned by school to either a substance use prevention (decreasing smoking and alcohol) or an energy balance (increasing physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and limiting TV time) intervention group in 2007. Each intervention involved five in-class contacts over a 3-year period with assessments at 12, 24, and 36 months. Main outcomes were analyzed using random effects modeling. In the full energy balance group and in subsamples at risk and not at risk at baseline, strong effects were found for physical activity, healthy diet, and reducing TV time, for both categorical and continuous outcomes. Despite no direct treatment, the energy balance group also showed significantly lower smoking and alcohol use over time than the substance use prevention group. The energy balance intervention demonstrated strong effects across all behaviors over 3 years among middle school students. The substance use prevention intervention was less effective than the energy balance intervention in preventing both smoking and alcohol use over 3 years in middle school students. The lack of a true control group and unrepresented secular trends suggest the need for further study.

“…Building off our prior work with computer- and Internet-based studies (Schinke, Fang, & Cole, 2009; Schwinn & Schinke, 2010; Schwinn, Schinke, & Di Noia, 2010), these findings are the first of their kind from a health promotion program expressly aimed at adolescent girls and their mothers living in public housing. Findings suggest that a brief, web-based health promotion program for such girls and their mothers can affect positive and relatively sustained changes in health behavior and salient risk and protective factors.…”

“…Building off our prior work with computer-based interventions (Schinke, Fang, & Cole, 2009; Schwinn & Schinke, 2010; Schwinn, Schinke, & Di Noia, 2010) this pilot study tested a brief, health promotion program for low-income girls and their mothers. The program aimed to enhance the well-being of girls residing in public housing by improving dietary intake, increasing physical activity, and reducing drug use risks.…”

This study tested a brief web-based, family-involvement health promotion program aimed at drug use, physical activity, and nutrition for adolescent girls, aged 10 to 12 years, who reside in public housing. Separately, girls (n = 67) and their mothers (n = 67) completed baseline measures online. Following baseline, 36 randomly assigned mother-daughter dyads jointly completed a 3-session, health promotion program online. Subsequently, all girls and mothers separately completed posttest and 5-month follow-up measures. Attrition at posttest and 5-month follow-up measures was 3% and 9%, respectively. At posttest, intervention-arm girls, relative to control-arm girls, reported greater mother-daughter communication and parental monitoring. Intervention-arm mothers reported greater mother-daughter communication and closeness as well as increased vegetable intake and physical activity. At 5-month follow-up, intervention-arm girls and mothers, relative to those in the control arm, reported greater levels of parental monitoring. Intervention-arm girls also reported greater mother-daughter communication and closeness, reduced stress, greater refusal skills, and increased fruit intake. Findings indicate the potential of a brief, web-based program to improve the health of low-income girls and their mothers.
