DESCRIPTION (adapted from the applicant's abstract): This grant application is in response to a program announcement by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Exploratory/Development grant submissions (R21 mechanism) to design and develop interventions. This proposal attempts to intervene with delinquents by building on two previous HIV prevention successes: Project LIGHT, the National Institute of Mental Health's Multisite Prevention Trial (NIMH, 1998), and a 7-session version of Project LIGHT specifically targeted for high-risk adolescents. This project aims to use Project LIGHT with a new population using a different modality (computer delivery). The goal of this proposal is to adapt the Project LIGHT intervention for delinquent youth in Los Angeles County Probation Schools, design a CD-ROM to deliver the intervention, and to conduct a pilot study to examine the acceptability, feasibility, and utility of Project LIGHT with delinquent youth. Adaptation of Project LIGHT for delinquent youth requires identifying strategies for delivering the intervention that are highly attractive to youth (CD-ROM) that are tailored to everyday settings in which youth are served in a cost-effective fashion, and that remain effective in reducing risk behaviors. Phase 1 of the research plan will involve formative research (focus groups and interviews) to determine the characteristics of the intervention that need to be tailored for the new population of delinquent youth. At the conclusion of Phase 1, a CD-ROM computer program will be developed for delivering the intervention. In Phase 2, a pilot study will be conducted in four schools to examine the acceptability, comprehensiveness, quality of the computerized intervention, and the youths' perceptions of the intervention. Youth will be assessed at a baseline interview and followed longitudinally for 3-months. The results of this study will inform researchers and the public health community about the feasibility and acceptability of HIV interventions to be delivered in everyday settings using a computer-based delivery strategy.

描述（改编自申请人的摘要）：该拨款申请是 响应美国国立卫生研究院的一项计划公告 (NIH) 用于探索性/开发补助金提交（R21 机制）的设计 并制定干预措施。该提案试图对违法者进行干预 建立在之前两项艾滋病毒预防成功的基础上：Project LIGHT 国家心理健康研究所的多点预防试验（NIMH，1998）， 以及专门针对高风险的 Project LIGHT 的 7 个会话版本 青少年。该项目旨在将 Project LIGHT 与新人群一起使用 不同的方式（计算机交付）。该提案的目标是适应 针对洛杉矶县青少年犯罪的 LIGHT 项目干预 缓刑学校设计一张 CD-ROM 来提供干预措施，并进行 一项试点研究，以检验项目的可接受性、可行性和效用 光与不良青年。 为犯罪青少年调整“光明计划”需要确定 提供对年轻人极具吸引力的干预措施的策略 （CD-ROM）专为青少年在日常环境中接受服务而定制 具有成本效益的时尚，并且在减少危险行为方面仍然有效。 研究计划的第一阶段将涉及形成性研究（焦点小组和 访谈）以确定需要干预的特征 为新的犯罪青少年群体量身定制。结束时 第一阶段，将开发一个 CD-ROM 计算机程序来交付 干涉。第二阶段将在四所学校进行试点研究 检查计算机化的可接受性、全面性和质量 干预以及青少年对干预的看法。青春将是 在基线访谈中进行评估，并纵向跟踪 3 个月。这 这项研究的结果将为研究人员和公共卫生界提供信息 关于艾滋病毒干预措施的可行性和可接受性 使用基于计算机的交付策略的日常设置。
