	Level of Exposure to Parenting Curriculum
	Low Exposure (<75% of Planned Sessions)			High Exposure (≥75% of Planned Sessions)
Parenting Measure	β*	95% CI	P Value	β*	95% CI	P Value
Total AAPI score	0.2	−7.0 to 7.3	.97	8.3	3.2 to 13.3	<.005
AAPI subscale scores
Inappropriate expectations	0.3	−1.3 to 1.9	.08	1.5	0.4 to 2.5	.01
Empathy	1.4	−0.7 to 3.5	.19	2.6	0.9 to 4.3	<.005

AAPI = Adult -Adolescent Parenting Inventory; CI = confidence interval.

* β = the mean difference in score between intervention home-visited adolescents (with high or low exposure to the curriculum) and control adolescents, using the generalized estimating equation (GEE), and adjusting for age, baseline AAPI scores, baseline depressive symptoms, and household violence.
