 AB    Family-based communication about sexual behavior and sexuality is a
       predominate theme in the key risk reduction and service objectives for
       human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and related issues in
       Healthy People 2000. These recommendations are particularly poignant for
       younger adolescents who are not yet sexually active and whose social
       orientation is primarily to family and parents. A family-centered,
       home-based, video program to foster parent and teen knowledge and
       communication regarding issues related to HIV prevention and to increase
       family and teen communication skills was used in an intensive field test
       of program efficacy. Sixty-nine families with at least one adolescent
       age 12 to 14 years were recruited through their primary-care physicians
       and were randomly assigned to either experimental (video with
       information and skills training) or control (video with information
       only) conditions in a pre-posttest with a 4-month follow-up design. Both
       versions of the video program resulted in substantial increases in
       HIV-related knowledge for parents and teens, but only the skill-training
       (experimental) version produced increases in knowledge of communication
       skills and behavioral demonstrations of family problem solving.
       Approaches for a broader and more effective parent-training video
       program and for dissemination through primary-care physicians are
       discussed.
