DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching objective of the proposed research is to pilot test a newly developed observational coding instrument for study sequences of therapist-family interaction in sessions of Functional Family Therapy for adolescent drug abuse. The name of the instrument is the Functional Family Therapy Coding and Rating Scale (FFT CARS). The FFT CARS has undergone an initial round of pilot testing in which overall rates or proportions of specific types of therapist behavior have been studies and linked with adolescent and family outcomes. The current project would build upon and extend this pilot study of the FFT CARS by incorporating observational codes pertaining to the behavior of the family members during the sessions of FFT so to allow for the examination of theoretically relevant sequences of therapist-family interaction that may predict clinical outcomes. The specific aims of the propose project are: 1. To use an established family-based observational coding system to code the behavior of family members in sessions of FFT in which the behavior of the therapists have already been coded using the FFT CARS; 2. Merge coded data on family behavior in sessions of FFT with existing coded data on therapist behavior in the same FFT sessions obtained in a prior pilot study of the FFT CARS. 3. Analyze the merged data to empirically identify sequences of therapist family interaction during sessions of FFT. 4. Model statistical linkages between certain type's in-session sequences in FFT and adolescent and family clinical outcomes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed research is designed to contribute to the development and refinement of Functional Family Therapy (FFT), a treatment of proven efficacy for adolescent substance abuse. Such clinical process-outcome studies may help to facilitate and propel the dissemination of FFT in community-based adolescent treatment settings. These advances could increase the likelihood that FFT will have a favorable impact at a public health level on drug-abuse problems of adolescents and their families.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究的总体目标是试点测试一种新开发的观察性编码工具，用于研究青少年药物滥用功能家庭治疗的治疗师 - 家庭相互作用序列。该仪器的名称是功能性家庭治疗编码和评级量表（FFT汽车）。 FFT汽车已经进行了初始的试点测试，在该测试中，特定类型的治疗师行为的总比例或比例已经与青少年和家庭结局有关。当前的项目将通过在FFT会议期间结合与家庭成员的行为有关的观察代码来建立并扩展FFT汽车的试验研究，从而允许检查理论上相关的治疗师与家庭相互作用的序列，以预测临床临床结果。建议项目的具体目的是：1。使用既定的基于家庭的观察编码系统在FFT会议上对家庭成员的行为进行编码，在该会议上，治疗师的行为已经使用FFT汽车进行了编码； 2。合并FFT会话中家庭行为的编码数据与现有的关于治疗师行为的编码数据，在先前对FFT汽车的试点研究中获得的相同FFT会议中。 3。分析合并的数据，以凭经验确定FFT会议期间治疗师家庭相互作用的序列。 4。模型在FFT与青少年和家庭临床结果中某些类型的课内序列之间的统计联系。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的研究旨在为功能性家庭疗法（FFT）的发展和完善做出贡献，这是对青少年滥用药物的可靠疗效的治疗方法。这种临床过程研究可能有助于促进和推动基于社区的青少年治疗环境中FFT的传播。这些进步可能会增加FFT在公共卫生水平上对青少年及其家人的毒品问题产生有利影响的可能性。
