Familias con Orgullo: Study protocol for an efficacy study of a family-based intervention for Hispanic sexual minority youth.

ABSTRACT: This manuscript describes the rationale and design of a family-based, Hispanic sexual minority youth (HSMY) specific preventive intervention, Familias con Orgullo (Families with Pride). HSMY (N = 306) and their primary caregivers will be recruited in South Florida and be randomized to Familias con Orgullo or prevention as usual. The intervention will be delivered by trained study facilitators. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and 6-, 18-, and 30-months post-baseline. The goals of this study are to evaluate whether the Familias con Orgullo intervention, compared to community practice, is effective in reducing drug use and depressive symptoms through the improvement of parent support for the youth, parent acceptance, family functioning, youth stress, and sexual minority stress.
