CSAP Replication Studies
Because of SFP's positive results, agencies in five States
succeeded in attracting demonstration/evaluation research funding from
CSAP. These five grants involved eight different community agencies serving
high-risk families. The studies included the Alabama State Department
of Mental Health and Mental Rehabilitation study of low-income, African
American, drug-using mothers in rural Alabama and the Detroit City Health
Department's study of inner-city African American drug abusers. Both studies
documented positive results (Aktan, 1995; Aktan, Kumpfer, and Turner,
1996; Kumpfer, Molgaard, and Spoth, 1996). Additional studies demonstrated
similar improvements among low-income Hispanic families from housing complexes
in Denver, CO (Kumpfer, Wamberg, and Martinez, 1996); Asian/Pacific Islanders
and Hispanic families in three Utah counties served by four agencies (Harrison,
Proskauer, and Kumpfer, 1995); and Asian/Pacific Islander families in
Hawaii (Kameoka and Lecar, 1996). A study of one SFP that was linguistically
and culturally modified for high-risk French Canadian families and funded
by the Canadian Government is complete, and a new culturally modified
SFP for English-speaking families in Canada and Australia has been developed
and implemented.
