Findings from Dr. Bry's ongoing studies of risk and protective factors,
and other correlates have supported the development and continuing
evaluation of two manualized and preventive interventions-the
school-based Behavioral Monitoring and Reinforcement Program and the
family-based Targeted Family Intervention. Because the former program
has been designated by the U.S. Department of Education`s Safe and
Drug-Free Schools program and the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention as an effective strategy, Dr. Bry consults frequently with
schools and agencies who are adopting the program. The empirical bases
and implementation for both of her interventions are covered in her
book with Dr. Nancy Boyd-Franklin, Reaching Out in Family Therapy: Home-Based, School, and Community Interventions.
