PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The proposed study will implement and test an innovative and highly significant prevention program by integrating an existing school-based parent program with a youth prevention intervention into a new community-based approach to prevent substance use among acculturating Mexican heritage youth. This research applies the ecodevelopmental approach to strengthen family functioning, reduce youth's acculturative stress, and increase youth drug refusal skills. The intervention will prevent youth substance use as a means of reducing health disparities. The guiding hypothesis is that by synchronizing the two interventions in a community-based setting, the intervention will yield stronger youth and parent desired outcomes and will be more cost-effective. This hypothesis will be tested through a randomized control trial (RCT) in a community-based setting with hard-to-reach, underserved and vulnerable Latino (mostly of Mexican heritage) families. The RCT will compare 1) The aligned Parent-Youth intervention, with 2) The Parent-Only intervention; and 3) Control (treatment as usual). The study will test hypothesized mediators (e.g., family functioning, parenting skills and social support) and moderators (acculturation and acculturative stress) of the effectiveness of the program. The findings will increase knowledge about sustainable and efficacious community-based prevention and about specific approaches to overcome barriers to prevention that are present in the changing social and school environments of the Southwest and the nation.

项目摘要（请参阅说明）： 拟议的研究将通过将现有的基于学校的父母计划与青年预防干预融合到一种基于社区的新方法中，以防止墨西哥遗产年轻人在基于社区的新方法中实施并测试一项创新且高度重要的预防计划。这项研究采用了生态发育方法来加强家庭功能，减少青年的适应性压力并提高青年拒绝技能。干预将防止青年物质使用作为减少健康差异的一种手段。指导假设是，通过在基于社区的环境中同步两种干预措施，干预措施将产生更强大的青年和父母期望的结果，并且将更具成本效益。该假设将通过一项随机对照试验（RCT）在基于社区的环境中进行检验，该环境难以到达，服务不足和脆弱的拉丁裔（主要是墨西哥遗产）家庭。 RCT将比较1）对齐的父母干预措施，以及2）仅父级干预； 3）控制（照常治疗）。该研究将测试该计划的有效性的假设调解人（例如，家庭功能，育儿技能和社会支持）和主持人（适应和适应性压力）。这些发现将增加有关可持续和有效的基于社区的预防的知识，以及在西南和国家不断变化的社会和学校环境中存在的特定方法来克服预防障碍。
