项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application, 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们请求提供 5 年的额外资金，以跟踪参与针对农村非裔美国青年的以家庭为中心的预防干预随机试验的青少年及其家庭。强大的非裔美国人家庭计划 (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已年满 11 岁，而在计划开始收集拟议研究的数据时，该孩子将年满 15 岁。续集将使我们能够跟随 SAAF 家庭度过青少年在青春期成长过程中将遇到的充满挑战的发展转变。该研究的实验设计中，一些家庭参与该计划，其他家庭组成对照组，这提供了一个难得的机会来确定 SAAF 是否会继续保护青少年在整个高中期间不使用酒精和其他物质。参加 SAAF 研究计划的家庭是佐治亚州农村社区的代表，这些社区的贫困率和失业率是全国最高的（Proctor & Dalaker，2003）。尽管如此，通过与参与者居住地区的社区领袖密切合作，我们保留了 93% 的样本。在干预后 3 个月和 24 个月分别进行的后测和长期随访评估中，SAAF 青少年开始饮酒的人数少于对照青少年。从干预前评估到长期随访，与对照组相比，开始饮酒的 SAAF 青少年饮酒量增加得更慢。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。这将使我们不仅能够继续我们的纵向研究，而且能够检查家庭、同伴和个人内部的中介过程，假设 SAAF 通过这些过程来赋予其影响。与最初的研究一样，将使用多信息设计来收集额外的数据，其中包括青少年、他们的朋友、他们的主要照顾者和老师的报告。
