DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Underage drinking has numerous negative consequences. Drinking heavily is more common among rural than urban underage populations and more likely among Native Americans than other ethnic groups, with rural American Indians drinking even more than their urban counterparts. The proposed cooperative agreement, detailed in this grant application, has a primary goal of developing and enriching the capacity of the Indian Health Council (IHC) and affiliated coalitions to address the problem of underage drinking in their communities. IHC serves nine Indian reservations in rural northern San Diego County. In order to achieve this goal, this cooperative agreement draws upon the combined strengths of the Indian Health Council, Inc. (IHC), Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation's Prevention Research Center (PRC), and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla. The specific aims of this project are: 1. To evaluate and upgrade the capacity of IHC to assess the extent of underage drinking in the areas that it serves. This aim will be implemented by training IHC and coalition members in techniques of quantitative survey design and implementation and qualitative data collection, analysis and utilization in order to develop in-clinic capacity to implement brief surveys to assess the extent and nature of underage drinking on the reservations, including where and how reservation youth obtain the alcohol they consume. 2. To evaluate and strengthen the capacity of IHC to intervene to reduce underage drinking. To accomplish this IHC, PRC and TSRI staff will conduct a series of seminars, workshops and training sessions for coalition members, reservation leaders, and interested community members on techniques for environmental prevention of alcohol problems and training for IHC physicians and staff on Motivational Intervention as a brief intervention technique for intervention with youth who have emerging alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Process evaluation will document the actions taken by the IHC, community coalitions, and reservation leadership with respect to the treatment and prevention of underage drinking in order to form a baseline prior to the intervention phase (Phase II). 3. To mobilize specific sectors of the community to partner with IHC in preparation for implementation and evaluation of preventive interventions designed to address underage drinking in this population. The cooperative agreement promises to both enrich and document the ways in which American Indians living in and around rural reservations can apply environmental prevention and brief interventions to reduce the incidence of underage drinking in their communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：未成年人饮酒会产生许多负面后果。农村未成年人酗酒的情况比城市未成年人更常见，美洲原住民比其他族裔群体酗酒的可能性更大，农村印第安人的饮酒量甚至比城市印第安人还要多。本赠款申请中详细介绍了拟议的合作协议，其主要目标是发展和丰富印度卫生委员会 (IHC) 及其附属联盟的能力，以解决社区中的未成年人饮酒问题。 IHC 为圣地亚哥县北部农村地区的九个印第安人保留地提供服务。为了实现这一目标，该合作协议集结了印度健康委员会 (IHC)、太平洋研究与评估研究所预防研究中心 (PRC) 以及位于洛杉矶的斯克里普斯研究所 (TSRI) 的综合优势。乔拉。该项目的具体目标是： 1. 评估和提升 IHC 评估其服务地区未成年人饮酒程度的能力。这一目标将通过对 IHC 和联盟成员进行定量调查设计和实施以及定性数据收集、分析和利用技术方面的培训来实现，以发展临床能力来实施简短调查，以评估未成年人饮酒的程度和性质。保留地，包括保留地青年在哪里以及如何获得他们所消费的酒精。 2. 评估和加强 IHC 干预减少未成年人饮酒的能力。为了实现这一目标，IHC、PRC 和 TSRI 工作人员将为联盟成员、保留地领导人和感兴趣的社区成员举办一系列研讨会、讲习班和培训课程，介绍环境预防酒精问题的技术，并为 IHC 医生和工作人员提供动机干预方面的培训，一种简短的干预技术，用于干预出现饮酒和酒精相关问题的青少年。流程评估将记录 IHC、社区联盟和保留地领导层在治疗和预防未成年人饮酒方面所采取的行动，以便在干预阶段（第二阶段）之前形成基线。 3. 动员社区的特定部门与 IHC 合作，准备实施和评估旨在解决该人群未成年人饮酒问题的预防性干预措施。该合作协议承诺丰富和记录生活在农村保留地及其周边地区的美洲印第安人应用环境预防和简短干预措施以减少社区未成年人饮酒发生率的方式。
