Abstract	A study examines the long-term effects of a family process program on social and cognitive competence and aggressive and deviant behavior among rural African American adolescents. Results suggest that family processes influence the status and changes in adolescent competence and behavior, while analysis of covariant structures suggest that maternal depressive symptoms and financial problems indirectly arbitrate high-risk behavior among rural teenagers.
