DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Brief Intervention for Minority Adolescent Drinkers" is a five-year research project designed to develop and test a developmentally and culturally sensitive, school-based, brief intervention for high risk African-American and Hispanic/Latino adolescent drinkers enrolled in alternative high schools. Alternative school students report (a) earlier first drink, first time drunk, and first marijuana use, (b) more polysubstance use, and (c) more frequent and heavy use of illicit substances than traditional high school students. In addition, alternative school students are disproportionately from ethnic/cultural minority groups, and very little empirical research has examined the effectiveness of alcohol or other drug interventions for minorities of any age. The primary goal of the proposed research is to conduct a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of a developmentally and culturally congruent school-based motivational interviewing intervention with alcohol abusing alternative school students. Participants (n = 540) will be randomly assigned to two treatment conditions: (1) assessment plus a motivational interviewing feedback session (A+MI) or (2) assessment plus a brief advice session (A+BA). Participants will be evaluated at study entry, and at three-month, six-month and nine-month follow-ups. We hypothesize that adolescents assigned to A+MI will demonstrate significantly greater reductions in alcohol use than adolescents assigned to (A+BA). Additional study aims will examine the moderating effects of cultural and ethnic factors (e.g., perceived discrimination, cultural mistrust, acculturation, acculturation stress) on intervention response. The ultimate aim of the proposed study is to develop more effective interventions for high risk alternative school drinkers, particularly ethnic/cultural minority adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）：“少数族裔青少年饮酒者的简短干预”是一个为期五年的研究项目，旨在为高风险非裔美国人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年饮酒者开发和测试一种对发展和文化敏感、以学校为基础的简短干预措施就读于另类高中。 另类学校的学生报告（a）比传统高中生更早地首次饮酒、第一次醉酒和第一次吸食大麻，（b）更多地使用多种物质，以及（c）更频繁和大量地使用非法物质。此外，另类学校的学生不成比例地来自种族/文化少数群体，而且很少有实证研究检验酒精或其他药物干预措施对任何年龄段的少数群体的有效性。拟议研究的主要目标是进行一项随机临床试验，评估对酗酒另类学校学生进行发展和文化一致的基于学校的动机访谈干预的效果。参与者 (n = 540) 将被随机分配到两种治疗条件：(1) 评估加动机性访谈反馈会议 (A+MI) 或 (2) 评估加简短建议会议 (A+BA)。参与者将在研究开始时以及三个月、六个月和九个月的随访时接受评估。我们假设分配到 A+MI 的青少年将比分配到 (A+BA) 的青少年显着减少饮酒量。其他研究目标将考察文化和种族因素（例如感知歧视、文化不信任、文化适应、文化适应压力）对干预反应的调节作用。拟议研究的最终目的是为高风险替代学校饮酒者，特别是种族/文化少数群体青少年制定更有效的干预措施。
