Padres Unidos por la Salud y el Éxito de Nuestros Hijos will assess an intervention aimed at reducing behaviors among youth that lead to elevated levels of HIV/AIDS in urban Latino communities. The intervention, Salud y Éxito, consists of parent education delivered through bilingual audio-CDs to promote positive parenting practices. Salud y Éxito Más will also be tested. This enhanced version of the parent-mediated approach integrates audio-CD parent education with a school-based parent involvement program, PALMS Tools for Latino Family Outreach. Both intervention components encourage parental involvement in their preteens’ and young adolescents’ academic success and future education planning.
