DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ethnic minority adolescents are exposed to a number of stressors that place, them at increased risk of developing physical and psychological problems. However, few developmental studies have examined the inter-relationship between minority status, physical health, and psychological distress. Moreover, the existing literature on minority health has focused on comparisons between minorities and Whites. Thus, the long-term objectives of this proposal are to extend the literature on minority health in different ways: (a) by studying the normative development of two groups of Puerto Rican youth in contrasting contexts, one in which they are in their home culture and one in which they are part of the minority group, (b) by focusing on Puerto Rican youth, a largely understudied group that is currently the second largest Hispanic group in the US, (c) by identify the risk and culturally relevant protective factors for youths' distress, and (d) by considering the inter-relationship between physical health, psychological distress, and minority status. The current project uses data from the NIH-funded Puerto Rican Youth Study. This dataset has a number of advantages. First, this is the first longitudinal child and adolescent epidemiological study of the same ethnic group in two contrasting contexts, in San Juan and in the South Bronx. Second, both samples are large probability samples of the target areas (N=1,271). Third, for children ages 10-13, which are the focus of this project, both parent and child reports are available for the outcome measure, distress. This project uses multilevel models to examine whether early adolescents' trajectories of distress vary depending on the context in which they are in, and to investigate the relationship between physical health and distress. This project pays special attention to the relationship between asthma and young adolescents' distress, given that Puerto Ricans are the ethnic group with the highest prevalence of asthma in the US. Furthermore, this project uses latent growth modeling techniques in SEM to test whether site differences in distress can be accounted for by greater exposure to risk factors such as discrimination, parent-child conflict, and exposure to violence. Lastly, this project considers the protective role of culturally relevant factors such as religiosity, familism, and close monitoring, for early adolescents' psychological adjustment. The proposed project has direct implications for public health. This is the first early adolescent study to document Puerto Rican youths' trajectories of psychological distress in two contrasting contexts. Moreover, this project examines risk and resilience factors for distress, including the intriguing relationship between asthma and distress, thereby offering opportunities for prevention and intervention efforts for at risk youth.

描述（由申请人提供）：少数民族青少年暴露于许多压力源，这些压力源是他们出现身体和心理问题的风险增加。但是，很少有发展研究研究了少数群体状况，身体健康和心理困扰之间的关系。此外，现有有关少数民族健康的文献集中在少数民族和白人之间的比较上。因此，该提议的长期目标是以不同的方式扩展有关少数群体健康的文献：（a）在相比之下的两组波多黎各人的规范发展中，他们是家庭文化中的一种，其中一个是他们在家庭文化中的一部分，而他们是少数民族群体的一部分，（b）通过在普里尔特·里卡尼（Puerto）的青年中重点介绍一群人，这是一群人，这是我们在众多的群体中，这是一群人，这是一群人，这是一群人的第二个差异。通过考虑身体健康，心理困扰和少数群体状况之间的关系，确定年轻人困扰的风险和文化相关的保护因素。 当前的项目使用了由NIH资助的波多黎各青年研究中的数据。该数据集具有许多优点。首先，这是在圣胡安和南布朗克斯的两个对比背景下对同一族裔的第一个纵向儿童和青少年的流行病学研究。其次，两个样本都是目标区域的概率样本（n = 1,271）。第三，对于该项目的重点，10-13岁的儿童，父母和儿童报告都可以用于结果措施。 该项目使用多层次模型来检查早期青少年的困扰轨迹是否取决于他们所处的上下文，并研究身体健康与苦难之间的关系。鉴于波多黎各人是美国哮喘患病率最高的族裔，该项目特别关注哮喘和年轻青少年的困扰之间的关系。 此外，该项目使用SEM中的潜在增长建模技术来测试是否可以通过更大的危险因素（例如歧视，亲子冲突和暴力暴露）来解释困扰中的现场差异。最后，该项目考虑了与早期青少年的心理适应性有关文化相关因素的保护作用，例如宗教，家族主义和密切监测。 拟议的项目对公共卫生有直接影响。这是第一项早期的青少年研究，记录波多黎各青年在两个对比的情况下对心理困扰的轨迹。此外，该项目研究了遇险的风险和韧性因素，包括哮喘与困扰之间的有趣关系，从而为预防和干预措施为AT Fisk青年提供了机会。
