“…In addition, a quarter of participants who did not attend expressed that a higher cash incentive may have motivated them to do so. Cash incentives in intervention attendance have been discussed previously in the literature, 47 and certainly much research finds cash incentives important in obtaining survey participants. 48,49 Nonetheless, these findings were somewhat disappointing because cash incentives are expensive, and thus requiring these incentives dramatically reduces program sustainability.…”

Objective.-Examine uptake (e.g., initial session participation) and retention (e.g., booster session participation) in an intervention about responding to sexual assault and partner abuse disclosures.Participants.-Participants were 836 students (primarily White; upper-middle class) at a medium-sized university.Method.-Participants completed baseline surveys, were invited to a two-session intervention, and responded to a follow-up survey.Results.-Initial session attendance was 36.2% (n = 303); of those, 83.1% (n = 252) attended the booster. Women, sexual minority students, and students with fewer prior negative reactions, and higher initial session satisfaction were more likely to attend than other students. Participants' reported reasons for not attending included scheduling problems and topic discomfort. Participants reported that remote attendance and higher cash incentives would have made attendance more likely. Conclusion.-Findings indicate the draw of cash incentives, a need to reach high-risk students and integrate into existing organizations, and the potential for individualized prevention.

“…However, our measurement of the dependent variable was limited to attendance. Although facilitators and observers reported high levels of family engagement in the program sessions, a more fine-grained measure of family participation in program sessions and responses to program material may be associated with different predictors (Mauricio et al, 2018). Another limitation is that we were unable to reach many families to understand why they did not attend sessions, so data on those barriers are anecdotal.…”

“…However, recruiting and retaining families in such programs, especially those requiring in-person attendance, has been a real-world implementation challenge (Spoth & Redmond, 2000;Spoth et al, 2013). Participation in family-focused prevention programs is frequently low (Mauricio et al, 2018), and military families are no exception to this (Aronson et al, 2018). The unique challenges military families face, including long-term parent-child separations, combat-related stress and mental health problems, and frequent relocations are all potential barriers to program participation.…”

Substance Misuse Prevention Program Attendance: Predictors Among Military Families

Typical life circumstances for military families may impact their participation in prevention programs, yet little is known about what factors influence their participation. The current study examined predictors of attendance in the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10–14, for Military Families, a universal in-person program designed to improve family functioning and reduce youth substance misuse and other problem behaviors. Participants included 159 parent–child dyads randomly selected to be offered the 7-week family program. Analyses examined demographic characteristics, deployment experiences, time spent waiting for the program to begin, and psychosocial functioning as predictors of attendance in a series of regression models. Of the 39 percent of families that attended any program sessions, the majority (71 percent) attended at least four of the seven sessions. Attendance varied significantly across the geographic areas in which groups were held. Prior service utilization, youth conduct problem behavior, parental history of deployment, and family conflict were each positively associated with attendance, whereas parent tobacco use was negatively associated with attendance. These results highlight the challenges in recruiting military families into in-person prevention programs and suggest that extra efforts may be needed to engage families that do not perceive that they have a need for support.

“…The small sample sizes and low number of studies that have analyzed SFP (10-14) adoption, reach, and sustainability clearly demonstrate that much remains to be done to understand how the program will perform under a large-scale implementation and transferred to social policies and systems. It is crucial to build capacity in order to favor reach (Mauricio et al, 2018 ), support systems-oriented scaling up of SFP (10-14) or other evidence-based preventive interventions (*Spoth, Rohrbach, et al, 2013 ; Spoth, Trudeau, et al, 2013 ), mainly in scarce resources settings (Mejía et al, 2019 ). This aligns with the state-of-the-art in prevention science, in general (Fishbein et al, 2016 ; *Spoth, Rohrbach, et al, 2013 ; Spoth, Trudeau, et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Type 2 Translation “involves the translation of program development to implementation (i.e., efficacy trials with emphasis on internal validity and effectiveness trials with emphasis on internal and external validity)” (Fishbein, Ridenour, Stahl, & Sussman, 2016 , p. 7) and helps establish evidence-based interventions (Fishbein et al, 2016 ). However, it is one of the most deprived targets in the field of prevention science (Spoth, Rohrbach, et al, 2013 ; Spoth, Trudeau, et al, 2013 ) and family and parental programs, in particular (Mauricio, Gonzales, & Sandler, 2018 ).…”

A scoping review, based on the RE-AIM framework, was conducted to analyze evidence of reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the Strengthening Families Program (10-14), a preventive family-based substance abuse program for adolescents. Sixty-five articles were included. The results disclosed that effectiveness, implementation, and maintenance at the individual-level were the most evaluated aspects, while reach, maintenance at the setting-level, and adoption were the least investigated aspects. Positive effects on drug abuse prevention and protective parenting factors were found in the U.S. studies. Likewise, Latin American studies have shown the improvement of parenting practices. However, European studies have produced mixed results, with predominantly null effects on substance abuse. The implementation quality was high. There is no available evidence of adoption and maintenance at the setting-level by the organizations that implemented it. New studies must examine the reach, adoption, and sustainability of the program to lay foundations for its future use as an instrument of public policies.
