DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of our proposed project is to use a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach to develop and implement a school-based intervention focused on the needs of Somali, Latino and Hmong 9th grade youth to promote positive youth development and address key behavioral outcomes. These outcomes will be determined as part of the CBPR process but may include substance use, violence, and mental health/coping. Somali, Latino, and Hmong are the largest immigrant groups in Minnesota and comprise a large and growing proportion of children in urban public school districts. While these groups represent distinct cultures and experiences, the Somali, Latino and Hmong Partnership for Health and Wellness (SoLaHmo) have identified commonalities, including shared community values (including formal education) and assets and a shared desire for safe, healthy, strong families and communities. This application builds on preliminary work during the last two years of a partnership between SoLaHmo and the study PI, Michele Allen from the University of Minnesota. To date this partnership has used CBPR approaches to identify teacher and school culture related factors that promote school connection and PYD for Somali, Latino, and Hmong youth. This project will expand the current partnership to include among others the Saint Paul Public School District, in order to develop and implement an intervention based on formative data. The aims of the current application are to Aim 1: Build a collaborative process with representatives of youth, parents, schools, community organizations, and the Saint Paul School District to direct the project to identify key perspectives not yet included in the asset/need assessment, and direct collection of that data; Aim 2: Engage individuals representing a broad array of community, research, and school perspectives in a concept mapping approach that draws on formative qualitative work to develop key components and approaches of an intervention to promote PYD among middle or high school age Latino, Somali, and Hmong youth and identify key youth behavioral outcomes of focus; Aim 3: Pilot the intervention designed through Aims 1 and 2 in one or two high school in St. Paul during grant years 2 and 3.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们拟议项目的目标是使用基于社区的参与性研究 (CBPR) 方法来制定和实施基于学校的干预措施，重点关注索马里、拉丁裔和苗族九年级青少年的需求，以促进积极的青年发展并解决关键行为结果。这些结果将作为 CBPR 流程的一部分确定，但可能包括药物使用、暴力和心理健康/应对。索马里人、拉丁裔和苗族是明尼苏达州最大的移民群体，在城市公立学区的儿童中所占比例很大，而且比例还在不断增加。虽然这些群体代表着不同的文化和经历，但索马里、拉丁裔和苗族健康与保健伙伴关系 (SoLaHmo) 发现了一些共同点，包括共同的社区价值观（包括正规教育）和资产，以及对安全、健康、强大的家庭和家庭的共同渴望。社区。该应用程序建立在 SoLaHmo 与研究 PI、明尼苏达大学的 Michele Allen 过去两年合作的前期工作的基础上。迄今为止，该伙伴关系已使用 CBPR 方法来确定与教师和学校文化相关的因素，以促进索马里、拉丁裔和苗族青年的学校联系和 PYD。该项目将扩大目前的合作伙伴关系，将圣保罗公立学区纳入其中，以便根据形成性数据制定和实施干预措施。当前申请的目标是目标 1：与青少年、家长、学校、社区组织和圣保罗学区的代表建立协作流程，指导项目确定尚未纳入资产/需求评估的关键观点，并直接收集该数据；目标 2：让代表广泛社区、研究和学校观点的个人参与概念图绘制方法，利用形成性定性工作来制定干预措施的关键组成部分和方法，以在拉丁裔、索马里、和苗族青年，并确定重点青年行为结果；目标 3：在资助的第 2 年和第 3 年期间，在圣保罗的一所或两所高中试点通过目标 1 和 2 设计的干预措施。
