DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed study will be used as a springboard for Dr. Schwartz to launch a career in HIV prevention research focusing on the joint effects of self and context on HIV risk behaviors (substance use and unsafe sexual behavior) in Hispanic adolescents. The proposed study has three objectives. First, it will provide Dr. Seth Schwartz with valuable mentored experiences. As part of the proposed study, Dr. Schwartz will be mentored in family research, longitudinal research methods, preventive intervention design and implementation, and advanced statistical analyses. Career development will be organized around an exploratory-confirmatory study, using two separate samples. This study will be used to ascertain whether the development of personal and ethnic identity contributes to HIV risk behaviors over and above the contributions made by ecodevelopmental variables. Three specific hypotheses will be tested: (a) changes in ecodevelopmental variables over time predict changes in personal and identity development over time; (b) the development of personal and ethnic identity (both in total and in terms of variability not explained by ecodevelopmental processes) will predict the development of substance use, conduct problems, and unsafe sexual behavior over time; and (c) the Familias Unidas intervention significantly influences the raw personal and ethnic identity scores over time, but the intervention does not influence these scores once variance attributable to ecodevelopmental predictors is factored out. Third, provided that the hypotheses are supported for personal and/or ethnic identity, personal and/or identity development components will be designed to complement the intervention strategies used in Familias Unidas, a family-based prevention program designed to prevent substance use and unsafe sexual behavior in Hispanic immigrant adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议的研究将用作Schwartz博士的跳板，以发起艾滋病毒预防研究职业，重点介绍了自我和环境对艾滋病毒风险行为（药物使用和不安全的性行为）的共同影响。拟议的研究有三个目标。首先，它将为塞思·施瓦茨（Seth Schwartz）博士提供宝贵的指导经验。作为拟议研究的一部分，Schwartz博士将在家庭研究，纵向研究方法，预防性干预设计和实施以及高级统计分析中进行指导。 将使用两个单独的样本围绕一项探索性确认的研究组织职业发展。这项研究将用于确定个人和种族身份的发展是否有助于艾滋病毒风险行为，而不是生态发育变量所做的贡献。将测试三个特定的假设：（a）随着时间的推移，生态发育变量的变化可以预测随着时间的推移个人和身份发展的变化； （b）发展个人和种族身份（无论是在生态发育过程中无法解释的可变性和可变性方面）的发展，将预测随着时间的推移的物质使用，进行问题和不安全的性行为的发展； （c）Familias Unidas干预会显着影响原始的个人和种族身份随着时间的评价，但是一旦归因于生态发育预测指标的差异，干预就不会影响这些分数。 第三，如果对个人和/或族裔身份的假设得到支持，则将设计个人和/或身份发展组成部分，以补充Familias Unidas中使用的干预策略，Familias Unidas是一项基于家庭的预防计划，旨在防止药物使用和西班牙裔移民青少年中的不安全性行为。
