What goals is this medical research looking to accomplish?

"The primary purpose of this 12-month trial is to measure the effectivity of a certain number of sessions. Two secondary objectives are also assessed: family functioning (utilizing IPPA, which includes 25 questions for each parent and adolescent with 5-point Likert scale responses) and family communication (using 10 items from Family Problem-Solving Communication Index). Furthermore, Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced will be used as an indicator for types of coping strategies employed by participants."
