«Familias que Funcionan» es un programa de prevención familiar del consumo de drogas, fruto de la adaptación a España del prestigioso programa norteamericano «Strengthening Families Program 10-14». El programa se aplicó en cuatro Institutos de Enseñanza Secundaria de Asturias con una muestra de 380 alumnos de 1º y 2º de ESO. Se presenta en este artículo la evaluación de tal aplicación tras dos años de seguimiento, referidos a su eficacia en la reducción del consumo de drogas entre adolescentes y a sus efectos sobre ciertos factores de riesgo familiares. Los resultados muestran que el programa «Familias que Funcionan» es eficaz para reducir el incremento en el consumo de drogas adolescente a partir de la asistencia a 7 sesiones, tanto en el seguimiento a un año (t= -2,73; p<,05) como a dos años (t= -4,58; p<,005) y para reducir algunos de los factores de riesgo familiares.

Family-based drug use prevention: The «Familias que Funcionan [Families that work]» program.. «Familias que Funcionan»[Families that work] is a family-based drug-use prevention program resulting from the adaptation to the Spanish context of the prestigious North-American «Strengthening Families Program 10-14». The program was applied at four secondary schools (N = 380 pupils) in Asturias (northern Spain). This article presents the results of the assessment of this application after a two-year follow-up, regarding its effectiveness in the reduction of drug use among adolescents and its effects on certain family risk factors. Consistent attendance in the «Familias que Funcionan» program proved effective for reducing both rates (t= -2.73, p<.05 and t= -4.58, p<.005, for the 1- and 2-year follow-ups, respectively) of increase in adolescent drug use and some family risk factors.
