but the expected teen outcomes are not more frequent, then perhaps that is because the relationship between that parenting behavior and the teen outcome is not as strong for African Americans as European Americans. A randomized test of an SDM-inspired intervention designed to improve parent/teen relationships found the effects of the program were stronger among African Americans for some outcomes (Haggerty, Skinner, MacKenzie, & Catalano, 2007). What remains untested is the role of parenting behaviors in the link between the intervention and the outcomes.
