项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is being submitted in response to RFA-TW-11-003, the third round of Fogarty's International Tobacco and Health Research and Capacity Building Program. The research goal of this project is to design, deliver, and evaluate a culturally-appropriate, coordinated, multiple component intervention to prevent and reduce tobacco use among adolescents in Montevideo, Uruguay. The intervention, called ¿Act¿vate!, will be grounded in evidence-based intervention strategies known to prevent and reduce tobacco use among young people in high-income (e.g., United States) and low-income (e.g., India) nations, "translated" for use in this middle-income country. Additional intervention strategies wil be employed to encourage and support physical activity, given new studies that suggest that promoting physical activity could actually prevent tobacco use. Given the comprehensive regulatory environment that currently exists in Uruguay and our use of the existing evidence-base and essential elements therein, we anticipate short- and long-term effects on tobacco use and will test for that. The efficacy of the intervention will be evaluated in a group-randomized, controlled trial that will follow a cohort of 3,200 youth in Montevideo, Uruguay over 3 years. Capacity building will be an integrated and significant part of our research program. Capacity building strategies will provide multiple training opportunities for public health professionals in Uruguay and the United States to suitably apply and enhance their skills specific to designing, implementing, and monitoring behavioral interventions for Latin American youth and conducting and evaluating large-scale research studies with adolescents. Capacity building activities will also engage and activate young people, their parents, and other community members to take action to prevent the onset and progression of tobacco use among adolescents in Uruguay. The US-based team is with the School of Public Health, University of Texas. They are well-positioned to lead this study, having been successful recipients of Fogarty funding in the previous two rounds of this mechanism. The Uruguay-based team is with CIET, the Tobacco Epidemic Research Center in Uruguay. CIET is at the forefront of tobacco control research, practice, and advocacy in Uruguay (and across the region of Latin America), well-known for their work with civil society and government officials, both locally and internationally.

描述（由适用提供）：该提案是为了响应RFA-TW-11-003，这是Fogarty的国际烟草和健康研究和能力建设计划的RFA-TW-11-003。该项目的研究目标是设计，交付和评估具有文化适当的，协调的多个成分干预措施，以防止和减少乌拉圭蒙特维迪奥的青少年中的烟草使用。该干预措施被称为“行为！”将基于循证干预策略，以预防和减少高收入（例如美国）和低收入（例如印度）国家的年轻人中烟草使用，“翻译”，用于在这个中收入国家中。考虑到新的研究表明，促进体育锻炼实际上可以防止使用烟草的使用，将采用其他干预策略来鼓励和支持体育活动。鉴于乌拉圭目前存在的全面监管环境以及我们对其中现有的证据库和基本要素的使用，我们预计对烟草使用会产生短期和长期影响，并将对此进行测试。干预效率将在一项群体随机，对照试验中进行评估，该试验将在乌拉圭蒙特维迪奥的3200名青年队中，超过3年。能力建设将是我们研究计划的综合且重要的一部分。能力建设策略将为公共卫生专业人员提供多种培训机会乌拉圭和美国适当地应用和增强其针对拉丁美洲青年的设计，实施和监视行为干预的技能，并与青少年进行和评估大规模研究。能力建设活动还将吸引并激活年轻人，他们的父母和其他社区成员采取行动，以防止乌拉圭青少年中烟草使用的发作和进展。总部位于美国的团队是德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院。他们在该机制的前两轮中成功地接受了Fogarty资金的成功接受者，他们的位置很好。总部位于乌拉圭的团队是乌拉圭烟草流行研究中心Ciet。 Ciet在乌拉圭（以及整个拉丁美洲地区）的烟草控制研究，实践和倡导处于最前沿，该研究以与民间社会和政府官员在本地和国际上的合作而闻名。
