An intent-to-treat randomized design coupled with a time-series design will be used to assess differential adjustment between the treatment and control groups, and to assess differential changes in adjustment between adolescent parents across four time-points. A block randomization design will be used to randomly assign eight participating schools into one of four treatment conditions based on curriculum assignment. Schools can receive a co-parenting (COPAR), healthy romantic relationship (HRR), and/or a control (CONT) curriculum each semester. Treatment conditions reflect schools which receive a full treatment model (i.e., COPAR-HRR, HRR-COPARE) or a partial treatment model (i.e., COPAR-CONT, and HRR-CONT). The investigators hypothesize that youth participating in the full-treatment group will show statistically significant immediate and sustained improvements in well-being, as well as larger improvements in their co-parenting and relationship knowledge and behaviors post treatment and more sustained improvements in co-parenting and relationship behaviors six months post-treatment than youth in the partial-treatment group. Couples in the program will show better co-parenting and relationship outcomes than couples where only one adolescent participated.
