DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a Stage 1A /1B behavioral therapy development project with the aim of developing and piloting an early intervention for adolescents who are in the early stages of substance use/misuse based upon traditional martial arts. In recent years, research has primarily focused on either substance use prevention or treatments for adolescents who have already progressed to serious substance use disorders (SLID). A major research gap has been in developing and evaluating early interventions for adolescents who are in the early stages of substance use/misuse. Traditional martial arts already embody many of the principles common to most existing early interventions. With only minor modifications, existing martial arts programs have the potential of being transformed into effective and widely available early interventions for adolescents at risk for developing SLID. The initial phase of this application will consist of modifying an existing martial arts program and program manual into a 6-month intervention and intervention manual. The initial program and manual will be pre-piloted with two separate cohorts of six subjects each. Subjects will be adolescents with evidence of current drug use and at least one identifiable area of psychosocial/behavioral problems (education, emotional/behavioral dysfunction, or family and/or peer relationships). Revisions to the program and manual will be made utilizing feedback from interventionists and study subjects. Training and adherence procedures will also be developed and piloted. Once the program and manual are finalized, a larger pilot study will be conducted to evaluate the acceptability of the intervention and to obtain estimates of effect size for a larger controlled trial, should the intervention appear to be efficacious. 40 adolescent subjects, similar to those in the pre-pilot phase, will be randomized to receive either the 6-month martial arts intervention or a waitlist control group. Outcome measures will be assessed monthly and at the conclusion of the intervention, and will include assessments of drug use and behavioral/psychosocial functioning.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一个 1A /1B 阶段行为治疗开发项目，旨在基于传统武术为处于药物滥用/滥用早期阶段的青少年开发和试点早期干预措施。近年来，研究主要集中在药物滥用预防或已发展为严重药物滥用障碍 (SLID) 的青少年的治疗上。一个主要的研究空白是为处于药物滥用/滥用早期阶段的青少年制定和评估早期干预措施。传统武术已经体现了大多数现有早期干预措施所共有的许多原则。只需稍作修改，现有的武术项目就有可能转变为针对有发展为 SLID 风险的青少年的有效且广泛可用的早期干预措施。该应用程序的初始阶段将包括将现有的武术项目和项目手册修改为为期 6 个月的干预和干预手册。最初的计划和手册将由两个单独的组（每组六名受试者）进行预试点。受试者将是具有当前吸毒证据和至少一个可识别的社会心理/行为问题（教育、情绪/行为功能障碍或家庭和/或同伴关系）的青少年。将利用干预专家和研究对象的反馈对计划和手册进行修订。还将制定和试点培训和遵守程序。一旦计划和手册最终确定，将进行更大规模的试点研究，以评估干预措施的可接受性，并在干预措施显示有效的情况下，获得更大规模对照试验的效果大小估计。 40 名青少年受试者（与试验前阶段的受试者类似）将被随机分配接受为期 6 个月的武术干预组或候补对照组。结果测量将每月并在干预结束时进行评估，其中包括对药物使用和行为/心理社会功能的评估。
