Data were from 339 African American parents of preadolescents enrolled in the intervention arm of a randomized-controlled trial of the Parents’ Matter! Program (PMP). Four categories of predictors of success were examined: time and resource constraints, personal characteristics, the parent-child relationship, and parent perceptions of child readiness for sex communication. There were only sporadic associations between success and time and resource constraints for either outcome. Parent perception of child readiness for sex communication was positively associated with discussions of sex topics (b = 1.11, confidence interval [CI]: 0.24-1.97) and parental responsiveness (b = .68, CI:0.22-1.15). Although parents face time and resource constraints, most attended at least four sessions, and demographics such as income had limited effects on program success. In 2006, persons aged 13-29 accounted for the largest number of new HIV infections (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2008). In addition, an estimated one out of four adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States is infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, or STIs (human papillomavirus [HPV], chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomo |
