About this study
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a brief parent-based adolescent sexual health intervention called Families Talking Together Plus (FTT+). FTT+ is based on an established intervention called Families Talking Together (FTT) and will enhance FTT by adding modules on human papillomavirus (HPV). The goal of the study is to evaluate whether FTT will help parents increase sexual health communication, delay adolescent sexual debut, and increase HPV vaccination. FTT will be delivered to parents of minority youth and will be delivered by student nurses.
