项目摘要

Preventing Alcohol and Other Drug Use and Violence among Latino Youth Project Summary/Abstract This K01 research and training award advances my long-term goal of developing interventions designed to target alcohol and other drug (AOD) use and violence among Latino adolescents in the United States. Adolescent AOD use and violence are profoundly interrelated as evidence clearly indicates that adolescent AOD users are more likely to enact violence and that both acute intoxication and chronic use are related to aggression. Moreover, results from prospective studies suggest that youth involvement in violence also predicts subsequent AOD use. Latino early adolescents (ages 11 to 14) are disproportionally at risk to use alcohol and take part in violent behavior. And yet, there remains a critical need for the development of readily-scalable, preventative interven- tions that target AOD use and violence among Latino youth. The proposed research plan focuses on adapting an empirically-supported AOD use intervention (keepin' it REAL [kiR]) to include a focus on violence and, in turn, testing the adapted preventative intervention to examine its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects. The proposed multidisciplinary training plan is designed to assist me in developing the necessary skills to effectively function as an independent researcher and carry out high-impact translational research. Specifically, this will include training in the use of qualitative methods to inform the adaptation and development of interventions, the process of systematically adapting/developing interventions, and, finally, the testing of interventions and preven- tion outcomes research. My training plan is directly linked to the three study aims. In Aim 1, I will conduct focus group interviews designed to inform the adaptation of kiR to include a focus on violence prevention. In Aim 2, I will build upon this formative research by adapting kiR to incorporate a focus on youth violence and violence prevention. And, in Aim 3, I will lead a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which the adapted intervention is tested in order to assess the feasibility/acceptability of the adapted intervention and assess whether a signal of efficacy is present for AOD use and violence outcomes. The contribution of the proposed research is expected to be the development of a readily-scalable, multicomponent preventative intervention for AOD use and violence among Latino early adolescents that can be tested in a fully-powered RCT (R01). This study addresses a signif- icant gap in prevention science among a large and rapidly-growing minority group experiencing multiple, inter- related health disparities. Moreover, this K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award will provide me with the training, research experience, and preliminary data necessary to make the leap to independent investi- gator status. Such experience and training is foundational in my effort to build upon my prior research in ways that can translate into intervention research projects designed to yield real-world benefits.

防止拉丁裔青少年酗酒、吸毒和暴力项目概要/摘要这个 K01 研究和培训奖推进了我的长期目标，即开发旨在针对目标的干预措施美国拉丁裔青少年中的酒精和其他药物 (AOD) 使用和暴力行为。青少年AOD 使用和暴力密切相关，因为有证据清楚表明青少年 AOD 使用者更容易可能会造成暴力，急性中毒和长期使用都与攻击行为有关。而且，前瞻性研究的结果表明，青少年参与暴力也预示着随后使用 AOD。拉丁裔青少年（11 至 14 岁）饮酒和参与暴力的风险不成比例行为。然而，仍然迫切需要开发易于扩展的预防性干预措施针对拉丁裔青年中 AOD 的使用和暴力行为。拟议的研究计划侧重于适应基于经验的 AOD 使用干预措施（keepin' it REAL [kiR]）包括对暴力的关注，反过来，测试调整后的预防性干预措施，以检验其可行性、可接受性和初步效果。这拟议的多学科培训计划旨在帮助我发展必要的技能，以有效地作为独立研究人员并进行高影响力的转化研究。具体来说，这将包括使用定性方法的培训，为干预措施的调整和发展提供信息，系统地调整/制定干预措施的过程，最后是干预措施和预防措施的测试化成果研究。我的培训计划与三个学习目标直接相关。在目标 1 中，我将进行聚焦小组访谈旨在为 kiR 的调整提供信息，以纳入对暴力预防的关注。在目标 2 中，我将通过调整 kiR 以纳入对青少年暴力和暴力的关注，以这项形成性研究为基础预防。而且，在目标 3 中，我将领导一项试点随机对照试验 (RCT)，其中采用适应的干预措施进行测试，以评估调整后的干预措施的可行性/可接受性，并评估信号是否 AOD 的使用和暴力结果存在有效性。预计拟议研究的贡献针对 AOD 的使用和暴力制定易于扩展的、多成分的预防性干预措施在拉丁裔早期青少年中，可以通过全面的随机对照试验（R01）进行测试。这项研究解决了一个重要问题在一个庞大且快速增长的少数群体中，经历着多重、相互间的冲突，在预防科学方面存在着巨大的差距。相关的健康差异。此外，这个 K01 指导研究科学家发展奖将为我提供拥有实现独立调查所需的培训、研究经验和初步数据鳄鱼状态。这些经验和培训是我努力以以前的研究为基础的基础这可以转化为旨在产生现实世界效益的干预研究项目。
