This is a request for a NIDA Career Development Award for Sonia A. Alemagno, Ph.D. This award is proposed to allow Dr. Alemagno to develop and implement a new telecommunications-based methodology for community- based public health research and intervention projects on transient populations such as runaway and street youth, foster care and adjudicated youth, adult homeless, migrant workers, and those in transition due to institutionalization or other temporary housing. The Statewide Telecommunications Risk Evaluation, Education and Tracking (STREET) System will be developed as a public health telecommunications warning network for drug abuse and HIV risk behaviors. The system will have the capacity to conduct baseline risk interviews, provide voice mail for longitudinal tracking of clients, offer computer bulletin board and support groups services by telephone, and conduct follow-up risk interviews. The system will be developed using voice response technologies developed at Cleveland State University under a previous NIDA grant that developed a case management telecommunications system for drug-addicted pregnant women. The system will be evaluated using pilot reliability and validity studies on subpopulations such as teenage runaways and adult homeless. Intervention pilot studies will also be performed to examine the system's utility for tracking transient populations for longitudinal studies. The system will be implemented in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services. For the pilot studies, eight shelters located throughout Ohio will collaborate in a telecommunications network for risk behavior tracking. Results will be distributed by standardized fax output to the network and to those who request aggregate statewide results. The training curriculum for this award will lead to a Masters in Public Administration degree with an emphasis in Drug Abuse Health Services Research. The mentors for this career development project will be Dr. Farrokh Alemi (Cleveland State University, Associate Professor of Health Care Administration) and Dr. Richard C. Stephens (University of Akron, Department of Sociology).

这是为Sonia A. Alemagno博士提出了该奖项，以允许Alemagno博士发展 并为社区实施新的基于电信的方法 - 基于瞬态的公共卫生研究和干预项目 诸如失控和街头青年，寄养和裁决等人口 青年，成人无家可归者，移民工人以及由于 制度化或其他临时住房。全州 电信风险评估，教育和跟踪（街道）系统 将作为公共卫生电信警告网络开发 毒品滥用和艾滋病毒风险行为。 该系统将具有能力 要进行基线风险访谈，请为纵向提供语音邮件 跟踪客户，提供计算机公告板和支持小组 通过电话提供服务，并进行后续风险访谈。 系统 将使用克利夫兰开发的语音响应技术开发 州立大学以前的NIDA赠款制定了案件 毒品成瘾孕妇的管理电信系统。 将使用飞行员可靠性和有效性研究对系统进行评估 关于诸如青少年逃亡者和成人无家可归者之类的亚种群。 干预试验研究还将进行检查 用于跟踪纵向研究的瞬态种群的实用程序。 该系统将与俄亥俄州部合作实施 酒精和吸毒服务。对于试点研究，八个庇护所 位于俄亥俄州的整个俄亥俄州将在电信网络中进行合作 用于风险行为跟踪。 结果将由标准化分发 向网络和全州要求汇总的人输出传真 结果。 该奖项的培训课程将导致公共硕士 管理学位，重点是药物滥用卫生服务 研究。 这个职业发展项目的导师将是博士。 Farrokh Alemi（克利夫兰州立大学，卫生副教授 护理管理局）和理查德·C·斯蒂芬斯（Richard C. Stephens）博士（阿克伦大学， 社会学系）。
