In addition to the schools and prevention agencies who typically implement the SFP 10-14, a variety of other groups around the country have successfully used program:

• Court-referred youth
• Families in low-income housing projects
• Churches
• Native American groups
• Asian families (Hmong)
• Hispanic, including non-English speaking parents
• Families with older teens
• Families with mental health problems

While these groups have not received the large grants needed to complete a scientific study of the program (i.e. random assignment, control group, follow-up evaluations), most have conducted pre- and post-tests, using the surveys included in the manual. Based on analyses of these surveys, parents and youth in these groups seem to have made significant gains in specific targeted behavior.

Program Adaptation for Non-English Speaking and Other Ethnic Groups
A supplemental teaching manual, SF 0002(S), is available for use with special groups for whom the videotapes may not be appropriate. These groups include 1) ethnic groups who may not relate to the African-American, Hispanic, or white actors in the videotapes or 2) groups with parents who are not able to understand or read English.

The supplemental manual has the same content as the basic manual. However, instead of seeing role plays portrayed on video, parents take part in scripted role plays which are included in both English and Spanish. Role plays may also be performed by two facilitators instead of asking parents to read parts. The information delivered on the videos by the narrators is included in bulleted points for the on-site facilitator to deliver. All printed materials that are necessary for parent and family sessions, including posters, handouts, and game cards, are included in both English and Spanish. Youth and family sessions make use of the basic teaching manual, rather than the supplemental manual. It is assumed that youth in the groups can read some English for the small amount of written material in youth sessions.   

Several groups in the country have successfully used this supplemental manual and conducted the program without videotapes for Spanish-speaking parents and other groups.

Familas Fuertes
In 2000, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) collaborated with Virginia Molgaard to create a Spanish version of SFP 10-14. This version using a set of video tapes features Latino actors speaking Spanish. The leader's manual is also in Spanish. Familas Fuertes is a derivative of SFP 10-14.
