DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advances in prevention science have identified risk and protective factors that predict health outcomes including substance abuse as well as efficacious preventive interventions. Yet, translating prevention science into community prevention service systems has been difficult and has emerged as a priority for prevention services research (Backer, 2000; Biglan, 1995). The proposed project is a randomized controlled trial of the Communities That Care (CTC) prevention operating system. CTC provides a framework for risk and protective focused prevention as well as training, technical assistance, and tools to guide community assessment, planning and action to implement and institutionalize science-based prevention services systems (Hawkins, Catalano & Associates, 1992; Developmental Research and Programs, 1997, 2000). The study is a joint effort of the Social Development Research Group of the University of Washington, the State Substance Abuse Prevention Agencies of Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, and 24 communities in these states. The five-year experimental study seeks to test the effects of the CTC operating system on levels and trends in risk, protection, drug use, violence and antisocial behavior among adolescents in grades 6 through 12 and on prevention services in communities including levels of collaboration, use of epidemiologic data on risk and protection to guide prevention planning, and adoption and implementation of tested effective preventive interventions. Building on a current five-year study of prevention services in these 24 communities, the proposed study will randomly assign one community from each of 12 community pairs to receive the CTC intervention, while the other will serve as a control. Intervention communities will receive training, technical assistance and materials needed to install the CTC operating system, a community coordinator, and funding in years 2-5 to implement tested preventive interventions needed to fill prevention service gaps. Measures of coordination/collaboration, implementation of risk and protection focused prevention planning, and evidence-based prevention services will be collected in all communities. The impact of CTC on youth outcomes will be assessed by extending existing trend data on risk and protective factors and adolescent problem behaviors in participating communities through surveys of 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students administered in years 2, 4, and 5 of the proposed study, and by annual surveys of a representative panel of 4th grade students in each community constituted in the first year of the study.

描述（由申请人提供）：预防科学的进步已经确定了预测健康结果在内的风险和保护因素，包括滥用药物以及有效的预防性干预措施。然而，将预防科学转化为社区预防服务系统非常困难，并且已成为预防服务研究的优先事项（Backer，2000； Biglan，1995）。拟议的项目是护理社区（CTC）预防操作系统的随机对照试验。 CTC提供了一个风险和以保护性预防的框架，以及指导社区评估，计划和行动的培训，技术援助和工具，以实施和制度基于科学的预防服务系统（Hawkins，Catalano＆Associates，1992； Developmental Research and Progress，1997，2000）。这项研究是华盛顿大学社会发展研究小组的联合努力，该小组是科罗拉多州，伊利诺伊州，堪萨斯州，缅因州，俄勒冈州，犹他州和华盛顿的州滥用药物预防机构，以及这些州的24个社区。这项为期五年的实验研究旨在测试CTC操作系统对6至12年级的青少年的风险，保护，药物使用，暴力和反社会行为的水平和趋势的影响，以及社区中的预防服务，包括协作水平，使用流行病学数据对风险和保护的风险和保护，以指导预防计划，指导预防计划，并采用了预防性的预防效果。在当前对这24个社区进行预防服务的五年研究的基础上，拟议的研究将随机从12个社区对中的每个社区分配一个社区，以接受CTC干预，而另一个将作为控制。干预社区将获得安装CTC操作系统，社区协调员和2 - 5年的资金所需的培训，技术援助和材料，以实施填补预防服务空白所需的预防干预措施。在所有社区中，将收集协调/协作的衡量标准，以风险和保护为中心的预防计划以及基于证据的预防服务。 CTC对青年成果的影响将通过扩展有关风险和保护因素以及青少年问题行为的现有趋势数据，并通过在拟议的研究的第2、4和5年进行的第6、8、10和12年级的学生进行调查，并通过在每个社区的年度参与年级学生的年度调查中进行研究，该研究是在第4年级学生的年度研究中，该研究成立了，该社区的年度研究成绩是第一个年度研究，该研究是在每个社区的年度参与者中，该研究成立了。
