If the student met study inclusion criteria and assent
(student) and consent (parent) forms were signed, then the
studentwas subsequently assigned to the study.During Phase I
of the study, eligible students/parents were randomly assigned
within school to one of the two active conditions (BI-A or
BI-AP). Upon reaching the target number of participants in
the two active conditions (n = 136, BI-A; n = 123, BI-AP),
we then moved to a Phase II recruitment procedure, whereby
schools offered to eligible students/parents an opportunity to
participate in an assessment-only program. During this phase,
we had to cut short our recruitment period to accommodate
the need to conduct the full compliment of outcome
assessments within the grant period. Thus, we recruited 56
controls (CON). The rationale for the Phase I and Phase II
recruitment procedure is that prior pilot work with the
schools indicated a large decline rate by parents when faced
with the possibility of being assigned to an assessment-only
condition. As noted above, the youth background characteristics
among the three groups did not differ. In addition, we
experienced very low participation refusal rates across the
three groups (n = 3, 4, and 3, respectively).
