The applicant is requesting funding for five years through the Mentored Scientist Development Award (K01) mechanism to enhance his theoretical, methodological, and statistical analysis skills to enable his efforts to prevent or reduce self-destructive behaviors among at-risk youth. The applicant's strong academic training in social policy research and practice experience in working with youth along with his familiarity in conducting program evaluations serve as the foundation on which the career development activities outlined in this application builds to facilitate the achievement of his career goal to become an independent researcher in conducting prevention intervention studies. The following objectives will be achieved: 1) Enhance my understanding of behavioral science and adolescent theories relevant for designing individual, group, and family-based interventions to reduce self-destructive behaviors and promoting positive health behaviors among at-risk racial and ethnic minority youth; 2) Advance my research skills in the design, measurement, and statistical analyses relevant for conducting intervention prevention research on reducing multiple forms of self-destructive behaviors among racial and ethnic urban minority youth; 3) Increase my methodological skills to better design, implement, and evaluate scientifically rigorous and culturally appropriate prevention interventions designed to reduce self-destructive behavior among at-risk African American youth; 4) Enhance my skills and ability to conduct intervention by piloting and testing a study to determine the feasibility of using a family based intervention focusing on African American fathers to prevent three forms of self-destructive behavior (suicidal HIV/AIDS sexual, and substance abusing behavior) among at- risk urban African American adolescent males; and 5) Carry forth my research agenda to conduct a randomized trial study by preparing a competitive R01 proposal employing a randomized control study to test the effectiveness of a family-based intervention targeting African American fathers to help reduce self-destructive behavior among their at-risk adolescent male at-risk children.

申请人通过指导的科学家发展奖（K01）机制要求提供五年的资金，以增强其理论，方法论和统计分析技能，以便他的努力预防或减少高危青年之间的自我毁灭行为。 申请人在社会政策研究和实践经验方面与青年合作的强大学术培训，以及他在进行计划评估方面的熟悉程度，这是本申请中概述的职业发展活动的基础，以促进他的职业生涯目标，以成为进行预防干预研究的独立研究者。将实现以下目标：1）增强我对设计个人，团体和基于家庭的干预措施相关的行为科学和青少年理论的理解，以减少自我毁灭性行为并促进处于危险的种族和族裔少数民族青年之间的积极健康行为； 2）在设计，测量和统计分析方面提高了我的研究技能，这些分析与进行干预预防研究有关，以减少种族和族裔城市少数民族青年之间多种形式的自我毁灭行为； 3）提高我的方法论技巧，以更好地设计，实施和评估科学严格且在文化上适当的预防干预措施，旨在减少处于危险的非裔美国人青年中的自我毁灭行为； 4）通过试行和测试一项研究来提高我的技能和能力，以确定使用基于家庭的干预措施的可行性，该干预措施以非洲裔美国父亲的身份预防三种形式的自我毁灭性行为（自杀艾滋病毒/艾滋病/艾滋病性行为和滥用药物滥用行为） 5）提出我的研究议程，通过准备一项竞争性的R01提案，采用随机对照研究来测试针对非裔美国人父亲的家庭干预措施的有效性，以帮助减少其处于危险的青春期男性处于危险中的男性处于危险中。
