DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alaska Native (AN) youth face significant health disparities associated with alcohol and suicide. Cuqyun (measuring tool) is a developmental project whose long term objective is programmatic research leading to an AN youth alcohol and suicide prevention trial to address these health disparities. The project builds on previous work with AN adults that used a community based participatory research (CBPR) methodology and a strengths-based, positive psychology focus in study of AN sobriety. Cuqyun proposes to extend this research to important variables in AN adolescent alcohol abuse and suicide. The project has three specific aims: (1) Culturally adapt for AN adolescents measures of variables associated with sobriety and reasons for living using a CBPR approach to measurement adaptation. (2) Test these adapted measures' psychometric properties with a sample of 475 AN adolescents age 3-18. (3) Test the predictive validity of these measures in an emically-derived model of AN sobriety and reasons for living suggested by previous CBPR. This final aim will also provide an empirical test of the multilevel pathway model of sobriety on which the proposed preventive intervention program of research is based. The measures that Cuqyun seeks to culturally adapt are variables conceived as proximal outcomes for specific intervention components within a prevention trial. Two additional variables are conceived as ultimate outcome variables. This developmental work will (1) provide necessary foundations for a prevention trial with Alaska Native youth, (2) advance CBPR methods with tribal communities in the area of measurement development, and (3) enhance our understanding of culture specific protective factors among Alaska Native and other ethnic minority groups to address health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：阿拉斯加人（AN）青年面临与酒精和自杀有关的重大健康差异。 Cuqyun（测量工具）是一个发展项目，其长期目标是程序化研究，导致青年酒精和预防自杀试验以解决这些健康差异。该项目基于使用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）方法的成年人的先前工作，并且基于优势的积极心理学重点是研究清醒。 Cuqyun建议将这项研究扩展到青春期酗酒和自杀中的重要变量。该项目具有三个特定的目标： （1）在文化上适应了青少年的衡量与清醒相关的变量和使用CBPR方法进行测量适应的生活的原因。 （2）测试这些改编的措施的心理测量特性，其样本为475年，年龄为3-18岁。 （3）测试这些度量的预测有效性，这是一个清醒的模型和先前CBPR建议的生活原因。这个最终目标还将提供对拟议的预防性研究研究计划的清醒模型的经验检验。 Cuqyun试图在文化上适应的措施是预防试验中特定干预组件的近端结果的变量。另外两个变量被认为是最终结果变量。这项发展工作（1）将为阿拉斯加原住民青年提供预防试验的必要基础，（2）在测量发展领域与部落社区进行了CBPR方法，（3）加强我们对阿拉斯加本土和其他族裔少数族裔群体中特定保护因素的理解，以解决健康差异。
