The efficacy of a computer‐based intervention to increase parent‐adolescent communication among Latino parents and adolescents was tested in a randomized controlled trial. Parents assigned to receive the 2‐session intervention reported greater general communication, sexual communication, and comfort with communication at 3‐month follow‐up than did parents assigned to the wait‐list control condition. Adolescents whose parents received the intervention reported higher sexual communication than did adolescents whose parents were in the wait‐list control condition. Results provide support for the efficacy of brief parent interventions designed to maximize adolescent support systems. The acceptability of the computer‐based format for an underserved population provides an important venue for the delivery and use of health information.
