Chile has high rates of tobacco, alcohol and drug use among adolescents. Parenting interventions have shown to reduce these risky behaviors. However, there are no parenting interventions validated in Chile to prevent adolescent substance use. This article reports the development of the ¡Vamos por Mas! (¡VxM!) program to strengthen family relations and prevent adolescent substance use following the recommendations of the Medical Research Council's framework for designing and evaluating complex interventions. In the first phase, key intervention components were identified. Then, a preliminary version of the intervention was designed. In the second phase, perceptions of key stakeholders were collected through focus groups (N = 14) and surveys (N = 101) including adolescents, guardians, school staff and community experts. These participants evaluated the preliminary version of the program and provided feedback. In the final phase of the intervention development process, stakeholder opinions were integrated into the proposal. The final version of the ¡VxM! program included five components: (i) school partnership, (ii) in-person workshops, (iii) virtual engagement, (iv) family support and (v) external supervision. This version is ready to be piloted to evaluate feasibility and preliminary efficacy, before being assessed in a randomized trial.
