We report the results of a growth model analysis of the impact of a Family Empowerment Intervention (FEI) on the heavy drinking over a 36-month follow-up period among youths processed at the Hillsborough County Juvenile Assessment Center. Families involved in the project were randomly assigned to either receive an Extended Services Intervention (ESI) or the FEI. Families in the ESI group received monthly phone contacts and, if indicated, referral information; FEI families received three one-hour, home-based meetings per week for approximately 10 weeks from a clinician-trained paraprofessional. By seeking to improve family functioning by empowering parents, it was hypothesized that target youths' behavior and psychosocial functioning would improve. Although the difference between FEI and ESI was not significant, the reported frequency of getting very high or drunk on alcohol declined more over time for FEI completers than FEI noncompleters. The results provide support for the impact of the FEI services.
