DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): (no more than 30 lines of text) This application proposes to test the feasibility of developing an online training program, Picture Me Alcohol Free (PMAF), intended to empower youth to become active participants in community-based efforts to reduce underage alcohol use and related consequences. Underage drinking continues to be serious public health concern in this country. This is reflected in the recent Call to Action by the U.S. Surgeon General's Office (2007) which places an emphasis on youth involvement in community-wide prevention. However, there are few, if any, commercially available tools that can be used by communities to train and support youth in community-based prevention. The proposed project will fill that need by using existing research and instructional technology to develop an innovative online training program that will guide youth, with the help of an adult facilitator, through the photovoice process in attempt to raise community awareness and motivate alcohol-related environmental and policy changes. Photovoice is a process by which participants learn to operate cameras and are invited to take pictures of strengths, weaknesses, and/or specific issues in their communities. Phase I will involve interviews with expert advisory panel members to determine the content and structure of the program, development of one online session, pilot testing of the prototype session with a sample of youth and leaders of youth-serving organizations, refinement of the prototype session, and development of a detailed outline of the final 8-session program. These Phase I tasks will be completed to demonstrate commercial and technical feasibility, as well as lay the ground work for full development and evaluation of the program in Phase II. Given the large number of youth-serving organizations that participate in community-based prevention of underage drinking, the commercial potential of PMAF is good. (1 or 2 sentences - relevance) This project has the potential to contribute to the health and well-being of underage youth, as well as increase the capacity of communities to employ comprehensive strategies and involve youth as stakeholders in the process of reducing underage drinking and associate problems. A contribution to the science of prevention will be made by developing and testing a targeted approach to prevention that has the potential to be applied to preventive interventions with other high-risk behaviors. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project has the potential to contribute to the health and well being of underage youth, as well as increase the capacity of communities to employ comprehensive strategies and involve youth as stakeholders in the process of reducing underage drinking and associate problems. A contribution to the science of prevention will be made by developing and testing a targeted approach to prevention that has the potential to be applied to preventive interventions with other high-risk behaviors.

描述（由申请人提供）：（不超过30行的文本）本申请建议测试开发在线培训计划的可行性，Itage Me Five Brood（PMAF），旨在使青年能够积极参与基于社区的参与者，以减少未成年人酒精使用和相关后果。在这个国家，未成年饮酒仍然是公共卫生的严重关注。美国外科医生办公室（2007年）最近的行动呼吁反映了这一点，该召集着重于青年参与社区范围的预防。但是，社区可以用来培训和支持青年在基于社区的预防方面的培训和支持，几乎没有（如果有的话）可以使用市售工具。拟议的项目将通过使用现有的研究和教学技术来制定创新的在线培训计划，以通过光电图过程来指导青年，以提高社区意识并激励与酒精相关的环境和政策变化，从而填补这一需求。 Photovoice是一个参与者学习操作相机的过程，并被邀请为其社区中的优势，劣势和/或特定问题拍照。第一阶段将涉及与专家咨询小组成员的访谈，以确定计划的内容和结构，开发一个在线会议，对原型会议进行试点测试，并与青年人的样本和青年服务组织的样本，原型会议的完善以及开发最终8次交流计划的详细大纲。这些I阶段任务将完成以证明商业和技术可行性，并为在II阶段的全面开发和评估该计划的基础工作。鉴于大量参加基于社区的未成年人饮酒的青年服务组织，PMAF的商业潜力是好的。 （1或2个句子 - 相关性）该项目有可能为未成年青年的健康和福祉做出贡献，并提高社区采用全面策略的能力，并使青年人成为利益相关者，以减少未成年人饮酒和关联问题。对预防科学的贡献将通过开发和测试有针对性的预防方法，该方法有可能应用于其他高风险行为的预防干预措施。 公共卫生相关性：该项目有可能为未成年青年的健康和福祉做出贡献，并提高社区采用全面战略的能力，并使青年人成为利益相关者，以减少未成年人的饮酒和关联问题。对预防科学的贡献将通过开发和测试有针对性的预防方法，该方法有可能应用于其他高风险行为的预防干预措施。
