Summary/Abstract Youth under age 18 involved in the criminal justice system are disproportionately minorities and affected by substance abuse, mental illness, and HIV/STI. Most young offenders are released on community supervision without the STI, mental health, or substance use screening, diagnosis, and treatment afforded detained youth, despite similar rates of risk behavior. Their long-term trajectory is poor, the costs to society are high, and lasting effects on community well-being and individual employment prospects are profound. Altering this trajectory is a public health priority. Preventing HIV Among Teens (PHAT) Life is an evidence-based program that meets the need in juvenile justice to address youths' co-morbid health problems. The next––and perhaps most critical––step in ensuring that this decade-long line of research produces actual, real-world improvements in the lives of probation youth is to develop a PHAT Life training strategy that is effective, cost-effective, and sustainable within juvenile justice settings. This private/public collaboration between Oregon Research Behavioral Intervention Strategies and the University of Illinois at Chicago will leverage existing resources and competencies to create a commercially viable technology-based training tool for PHAT Life with great potential for sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Building on PHAT Life's past research, in this SBIR Phase I research we will (a) develop and evaluate a prototype interactive web browser and mobile app multimedia training tool to enable para-professionals (e.g., health educators, probation staff, youth care staff) to deliver PHAT Life to youth on probation, and (b) identify additional training materials needed to address facilitator gaps (e.g., HIV/STI knowledge, managing group dynamics). The proposed technology-based training tool should be highly sustainable, because it (a) relies on “indigenous” personnel to deliver the intervention, (b) is likely to prove cost-effective since we will utilize a technology that can deliver training at scale, and (c) will improve fidelity both by leveraging technology to provide consistent training experiences to para-professionals and by including a computer-mediated video recorded observation of group sessions that will be reviewed and graded by an expert trainer to increase the likelihood of intervention implementation fidelity.

摘要/摘要 参与刑事司法系统的 18 岁以下青少年不成比例地属于少数群体并受到影响 大多数青少年罪犯在社区监督下被释放。 没有为被拘留青少年提供性传播感染、心理健康或药物滥用筛查、诊断和治疗， 尽管他们的风险行为发生率相似，但长期轨迹不佳，但社会成本却很高且持久。 对社区福祉和个人就业前景的影响是深远的。 公共卫生优先。 预防青少年艾滋病毒 (PHAT) Life 是一项基于证据的计划，可满足青少年的需求 解决青少年共病健康问题的下一步——也许是最关键的一步——确保。 这项长达十年的研究为缓刑青少年的生活带来了实际的、现实的改善 是在少年司法领域制定有效、具有成本效益且可持续的 PHAT Life 培训策略 设置。 俄勒冈研究行为干预策略与 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校将利用现有资源和能力创建商业 PHAT Life 基于技术的可行培训工具，具有巨大的可持续性和成本效益潜力。 基于 PHAT Life 过去的研究，在本次 SBIR 第一阶段研究中，我们将 (a) 开发和评估原型 交互式网络浏览器和移动应用程序多媒体培训工具，使辅助专业人员（例如，健康 教育工作者、缓刑人员、青少年护理人员）向缓刑青少年提供 PHAT Life，并且 (b) 确定其他 解决促进者差距所需的培训材料（例如，艾滋病毒/性传播感染知识、群体动态）。 拟议的基于技术的培训工具应该具有高度可持续性，因为它 (a) 依赖于“本土” 人员进行干预，(b) 可能被证明具有成本效益，因为我们将利用一种可以 大规模提供培训，(c) 将通过利用技术提供一致的培训来提高保真度 向辅助专业人员提供经验，并通过计算机介导的视频记录小组观察 课程将由专家培训师进行审查和评分，以增加干预的可能性 实施保真度。
