Programs that focus on improving parental management skills and developing the adolescent's goal- and limit-setting skills, peer supports, and problem-solving abilities have been credited with improving youth engagement in family problem-solving sessions. One hundred forty-three adolescents between the ages of 10 and 14 were randomly assigned to one of four conditions in the Adolescent Transitions Program: 1) parent focus, 2) teen focus, 3) parent and teen focus, and 4) self-directed materials only (Andrews, Soberman, & Dishion, 1995; Dishion & Andrews, 1995). The goal of the parent focus group was to improve parent management skills. Parents were encouraged to foster their adolescent's prosocial behaviors, set appropriate limits, and engage in problem-solving/conflict resolution with the teen. The goals of the teen group focused on developing the adolescent's ability to set goals, develop peer supports, set personal limits, and engage in problem-solving/conflict resolution. The combined group used consultants to help the parents and adolescents engage in discussions. Adolescents in the parent focus group, the teen focus group, and the parent and teen focus group exhibited less negative engagement during the family conflict/problem-solving sessions than the control group.
