Abstract
Results
This study showed that the SFP 10–14 may indeed be quite suitable for Italian families given the particularities of Italian
society regarding strong family bonds and extended social networks. We described the language translation, cultural adaptation
process for program materials, staff training, onsite supervision, and the process evaluation feedback that were undertaken
as part of the adaptation efforts.

Conclusions
The field of prevention could greatly benefit from the identification of tools and techniques that are applicable to populations
with diverse social and cultural backgrounds. The family is extremely important for Italians and represents a rich context
in which prevention efforts could be addressed.
