本文概述了理论和由此产生的方法，在一个多层次的，综合的，协作的社区干预称为Adelante，由大学-社区合作伙伴关系在拉丁美洲移民社区实施，以解决共同发生的健康差异的药物滥用，性风险，和青年之间的人际暴力。干预的基础是对青年积极发展理论的社会生态学解释，其重点是作为预防机制的个人环境背景和社区资产的变化。这种方法被认为是适当的社区面临多重障碍的健康公平。本文介绍了这种积极的青年发展模式的翻译实践，包括干预的设计，干预组件，和评估协议。Adelante干预措施旨在减少健康差距，此外，还在证据基础上增加了更广泛的社区模式。
This article outlines the theory and resulting approach employed in a multilevel, integrated, collaborative community intervention called Adelante, implemented by a university-community partnership in a Latino immigrant community to address co-occurring health disparities of substance abuse, sex risk, and interpersonal violence among youth. The basis for the intervention is a social-ecological interpretation of positive youth development theory, which focuses on changes in the person environment context and community assets as a preventive mechanism. This approach is viewed as appropriate for a community facing multiple barriers to health equity. The article describes the translation of this positive youth development model to practice, including the design of the intervention, intervention components, and the protocol for evaluation. The Adelante intervention is intended to reduce health disparities and, in addition, to add a broader community model to the evidence base.
