Note: Level of parental participation: 1=no participation; 2=participated 1 or 2 sessions; 3=parent participated in all three CImPACT sessions. F test was used to compare three group means (Group 1, 2 and 3); t test was used to compare two group means (group 1 vs. group 2+3). BFOOY= Bahamian Focus on Older Youth; CImPACT= Caribbean Informed Parents and Children Together; GFI=Goal for It; BFOOY+CImPACT represents youth assigned to the adolescent sexual risk reduction intervention whose parents were assigned to the communication/sexual risk reduction intervention; BFOOY+GFI represents youth assigned to the adolescent sexual risk reduction intervention whose parents were assigned to the goal-setting intervention.
