Abstract:The objective of this project was to determine the feasibility of developing programs to assist parents in preventing driving after drinking among their children. The project began with a literature review to learn what information about developing parent prevention programs was already available. Next, three focus groups were held with parents of adolescents in order to obtain information not in the literature. Finally, results from the first two activities were used to generate a list of possible topics and delivery systems for parent prevention programs, and opinions about these options were obtained from parents in a fourth focus group. Tentative conclusions from the three data sources included these: no rigorous evaluation data exist to show that parent prevention programs succeed or fail; parents believe youth drinking-driving is a very serious problem, but do not appear willing to spend much time participating in prevention efforts for their children; parents are interested in many kinds of prevention information, especially parenting skills (e.g., how to stimulate family discussions about drinking-driving). More detail about the literature review appears in a companion report: "Identification of Parental Program Structures for Deterring Adolescent Drinking and Driving. Volume II: Literature Review". /Abstract from report summary page/
