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）： 拟议的研究将作为施瓦茨博士开展艾滋病毒预防研究职业的跳板，重点关注自我和环境对西班牙裔青少年艾滋病毒危险行为（药物使用和不安全性行为）的共同影响。拟议的研究有三个目标。首先，它将为 Seth Schwartz 博士提供宝贵的指导经验。作为拟议研究的一部分，施瓦茨博士将在家庭研究、纵向研究方法、预防干预设计和实施以及高级统计分析方面接受指导。 职业发展将围绕探索性验证研究进行组织，使用两个单独的样本。这项研究将用于确定个人和种族身份的发展是否比生态发展变量对艾滋病毒风险行为的贡献更大。将测试三个具体假设： (a) 生态发展变量随时间的变化预测个人和身份发展随时间的变化； (b) 个人和种族认同的发展（无论是总体认同还是生态发展过程无法解释的变异性）将预测随着时间的推移物质使用、行为问题和不安全性行为的发展； (c) 随着时间的推移，Familias Unidas 的干预对原始个人和种族认同得分产生显着影响，但一旦排除了生态发展预测因素造成的方差，干预措施就不会影响这些得分。 第三，如果假设支持个人和/或种族身份，那么个人和/或身份发展部分将被设计为补充 Familias Unidas 中使用的干预策略，Familias Unidas 是一项基于家庭的预防计划，旨在防止药物滥用和不安全性行为。西班牙裔移民青少年的行为。
