The present study examined the relationship between specific areas of family functioning and both family engagement in prevention services and youth delinquency involvement. Out of 308 families who initiated services with a non-profit agency during a calendar year, 147, who completed the Family Assessment Measure (version III): General Scale, were included in the study. Results of binary and multinomial logistic regression analyses indicated significant relationships between areas of family functioning and both family treatment engagement and youth delinquency involvement. In addition to demographic variables, communication, task accomplishment, and denial made significant individual contributions to one or more of the evaluated models. Implications for prevention services are discussed and suggestions are made for future research.
