Abstract
ABSTRACT Project Opportunity is a prevention program for low-income, urban adolescents. It tests an innovative conceptual model that utilizes the workplace both to access teens who are dependents of low-wage employees and to provide services to the youths and parents at the site. Methodological lessons learned from implementing the Project are presented. Research considerations in selection of subjects, measures, and procedures must be adapted to match the specific challenges facing these families. Additional considerations not typically reported are critical, including establishing credibility among the various constituents, negotiating for access to families, and building staff commitment to an evaluation.
