Only one study included an experimental design of a program to increase parent-child communication. The Facts and Feelings program (Miller, Norton, Jenson, Lee, Christopherson, & King, 1993) assigned 548 families with a seventh- or eighth-grader to one of three conditions: receiving a videotape and newsletter designed to encourage discussion between parents and children; receiving the videotape only without the newsletter; or being in the control condition where the family did not receive any materials. The videotape included six 15- to 20-minute units on the following topics: changes, values, facts, meanings, choices, and skills. Families that were assigned to the intervention receiving both the video and the newsletter were given materials that helped foster additional discussions. Videotapes were given to the families for a three-month period and then collected. Results showed that although parent-child communication increased during the time that families had the videotapes, there were no significant long-term (9 months) impacts on youths' intentions to have sexual intercourse or their initiation of first sex. However, very few youths in the program initiated first sex during the measurement period, so it was difficult to show any impact.
