SAO MARTINHO, Sofia et al. Community intervention: assessment of parental training of a family prevention programme of substance use and associated risk behaviours. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.2, pp.164-175. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-2.ciap.

The manuscript presents the results of a family and community intervention project to prevent drug use. The project was theoretically based in two integrative models - Structural Model of Cowen and Eco-Developmental Model - taking a multicausal perspective and the methodological principle of empowerment. This study had two assessment moments: (T1) a week before the intervention and (T2) a week after the end of the intervention. Data was collected from 42 adults with parenting responsibilities and the results indicate significant changes in the increase of cohesion, expressivity, control, and the increase of the orientation for recreational activities. It has also observed a decrease of the educational strategies that characterise the authoritarian and permissive styles.

Palabras clave : community intervention; drug addiction; parental skills; prevention.
