DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary aim of the proposed project is to advance scientific knowledge about research/community partnerships that can serve as the foundation for local adaptation, delivery, and testing of evidence-based prevention programs for inner-city African American and Latino adolescents. More specifically, we propose to examine factors that influence urban parents willingness to collaborate in the delivery of an intervention designed to reduce adolescent pregnancy, STDs and HIV infection among inner-city minority youth (Be Proud! Be Responsible!; Jemmott, Jemmott & Fong, 1998). In addition, we intend to test the impact of a community mentorship and training component on the implementation of Be Proud! Be Responsible! within urban middle schools, as well as, on youth sexual risk intentions and behavioral outcomes. The proposed project will involve a sample of urban parents (n=300) representing 10 inner-city middle schools that will be trained to deliver Be Proud! Be Responsible! in order to support health promotion and risk reduction efforts within their community. Parents nested within their child's randomly selected school (150 parents within 5 schools considered the experimental condition block of schools will receive a community collaborative training meant to increase theoretically derived characteristics, including: 1) positive intention to become a HIV educator; 2) HIV prevention knowledge; 3) salience of involvement in prevention activities; 4) positive attitudes, normative beliefs and expectancies about HIV prevention efforts and 5) self-efficacy around community participation and leadership. In addition, these 150 parents will receive mentorship from community parents who are currently involved in local HIV prevention efforts in order to reduce any environmental obstacles to program delivery. The remaining 150 parents nested within 5 separate randomly selected schools (the comparison condition block of schools) will receive standard preparation and training of Be Proud! Be Responsible! Following the training in each of the two study conditions, parents will then be involved in the delivery of the program to 400 youth (6th and 7th graders) in one of the schools in their respective block (not their child's school) in each of the two study conditions (total n=800). The specific aims of the present study are: 1) to examine factors that influence the extent to which urban parents collaborate with university-based researchers and middle schools in the delivery of an evidence-based adolescent sexual risk behavior prevention program; 2) to develop and test the impact of a community collaboration training and mentoring system for an existing sexual risk reduction intervention on delivery within urban middle schools; 3) to test the impact of the community collaboration training and mentoring on adolescent sexual risk taking, We believe that the proposed project could result in substantial knowledge regarding the necessary ingredients to create and sustain community/university partnerships focused on promoting youth health and preventing health risk, as well as, the potential added benefits of community collaboration on prevention program outcomes. The long-term goal of this proposed research is to develop a practical, effective, and cost efficient community "add on" component that can be used across a number of health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议项目的主要目的是提高有关研究/社区伙伴关系的科学知识，这些知识可以作为本地适应，交付和测试基于循证的非裔美国人的循证预防计划的基础和拉丁裔青少年。更具体地说，我们建议研究影响城市父母愿意在提供旨在减少青少年少数民族青少年青少年怀孕，性病和艾滋病毒感染的干预措施方面合作的因素（要骄傲！负责！ ，1998）。此外，我们打算测试社区指导和培训组成部分对实施“骄傲”的影响！负责！在城市中学以及关于青年性风险意图和行为结果的内部。拟议的项目将涉及一个城市父母的样本（n = 300），代表10所中学中学，他们将受到训练以骄傲！负责！为了支持其社区内的健康促进和降低风险的工作。父母嵌套在孩子的随机选择的学校中（在5所学校内有150名父母认为实验条件的学校将接受社区协作培训，该培训旨在提高理论上的特征，包括：1）成为艾滋病毒教育者的积极意图； 2）预防艾滋病毒知识； 3）参与预防活动的显着性； 4）对艾滋病毒预防努力的积极态度，规范性信念和期望和5）围绕社区参与和领导才能的自我效能。此外，这150名父母将获得社区父母的指导，这些父母目前正在参与当地的艾滋病毒预防工作，以减少任何环境障碍。剩下的150名父母嵌套在5个独立的随机学校中（学校的比较条件障碍）将获得标准的准备和培训，以骄傲！负责！在两个研究条件中的每一个中进行培训后，父母将在各自街区的一所学校（不是他们的孩子学校）中向400名青年（6年级和7年级）提供该计划两个研究条件（总n = 800）。本研究的具体目的是：1）研究影响城市父母与大学研究人员和中学合作的程度的因素，以提供基于证据的青少年性风险预防计划； 2）开发和测试社区合作培训和指导系统对现有性风险干预对城市中学分娩的影响； 3）测试社区合作培训和指导对青少年性风险服用的影响，我们认为该拟议项目可能会导致有关创建和维持社区/大学伙伴关系的必要成分的大量知识风险以及社区合作在预防计划成果方面的潜在额外好处。这项拟议的研究的长期目标是开发可在许多健康结果中使用的实用，有效和高效的社区“添加”组件。
