Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Parent training has been demonstrated as an effective strategy for reducing adolescent involvement in substance use, delinquency, and other problem behaviors (Hawkins and Catalano, 2004; Services, 2001; Sherman et al., 1997; Spoth et al., 2002). However, researchers have also identified significant challenge in recruiting families to participate in universal parenting programs (Gottfredson et al., 2006; Haggerty et al., 2006; Spoth and Redmond, 2002). This presentation describes the strategies used to recruit parents into universal parent training programs implemented by cities participating in the Community Youth Development Study, a randomized controlled evaluation of the efficacy of the Communities that Care prevention framework. Four different programs that targeted parents and adolescents in grades 5-8 were implemented over three years. Despite multiple and repeated recruitment strategies, and varied incentives for participation, the overall participation in programs was low. Although communities in this study implemented effective parent training programs with high rates of implementation fidelity, they were unable to reach a significant proportion of their populations. These results suggest that parent training may not be an effective mechanism through which to realize widespread public health benefits.
