项目摘要

In this proposal, we request 5 years of additional funding to follow adolescents and their families who participated in a randomized trial of a family-centered preventive intervention for rural African American youths. The Strong African American Families Program (SAAF) is a universal intervention designed to deter alcohol use in the targeted population. The trial includes 669 families with a child who was 11 years old at recruitment and who will be 15 years old when data collection for the proposed research is scheduled to begin. The continuation will allow us to follow the SAAF families across the challenging developmental transitions the youths will encounter as they progress through adolescence. The study's experimental design, in which some families participate in the program and others form a control group, provides a rare opportunity to determine whether SAAF will continue to protect the youths from the use of alcohol and other substances throughout high school. The families who participated in the SAAF research program are representative of rural Georgia communities, in which poverty and unemployment rates are among the highest in the nation (Proctor & Dalaker, 2003). Nevertheless, we have retained 93% of the sample by working closely with community leaders in the areas in which the participants reside. At posttest and long-term follow-up assessments that were administered 3 months and 24 month post-intervention, respectively, fewer SAAF youths than control youths had initiated alcohol use. SAAF youths who did initiate alcohol use increased their use more slowly, compared with controls, from a pre-intervention assessment to the long-term follow-up. We propose to extend our programmatic research by collecting three additional waves of data. This will enable us not only to continue our longitudinal study but also to examine the mediational family, peer, and intrapersonal processes through which SAAF is hypothesized to confer its effects. As in the original research, a multi-informant design that includes reports from adolescents, their friends, their primary caregivers, and their teachers will be used to collect the additional data.

在这项提案中，我们请求提供 5 年的额外资金，以跟踪参与一项计划的青少年及其家人。对农村非裔美国青年进行以家庭为中心的预防干预的随机试验。坚强的非洲人美国家庭计划 (SAAF) 是一项普遍干预措施，旨在阻止目标人群饮酒。该试验包括 669 个家庭，他们的孩子在招募时年龄为 11 岁，数据收集时孩子将年满 15 岁计划开始收集拟议研究的资料。续集将使我们能够追踪 SAAF 家族青少年在青春期成长过程中将遇到充满挑战的发展转变。这研究的实验设计，其中一些家庭参与该计划，其他家庭组成对照组，提供了这是一个难得的机会来确定 SAAF 是否会继续保护青少年免受酒精和其他药物的侵害整个高中的物质。参加 SAAF 研究项目的家庭代表佐治亚州农村社区的贫困率和失业率位居全国最高之列（Proctor & 达拉克，2003）。尽管如此，通过与社区领袖的密切合作，我们保留了 93% 的样本。参与者居住的区域。在干预后 3 个月和 24 个月进行的后测和长期随访评估中，分别地，开始饮酒的 SAAF 青少年比对照青少年少。确实开始饮酒的 SAAF 青少年与对照组相比，从干预前评估到长期随访，其使用增加得更慢。我们建议通过收集另外三波数据来扩展我们的计划性研究。这将使我们不不仅是为了继续我们的纵向研究，而且还为了检验家庭、同伴和个人内部的中介过程假设 SAAF 通过它来赋予其效果。与最初的研究一样，多信息设计包括青少年、他们的朋友、他们的主要照顾者和他们的老师的报告，将用于收集附加数据。
