目的总结一项新试验的研究和干预设计，以评估Northland项目的适应性，该项目是一个多组成部分的社区范围内的酒精预防项目，用于生活在大城市的文化多样性青年。最初的Northland项目成功地减少了以白人为主的农村青少年的酒精使用。方法：我们重点介绍了为适应不同文化背景的城市青年、家庭和社区而采取的干预策略。本研究设计是一项随机对照试验，以评估经调整的Northland项目在降低城市青少年早发性和流行性酒精使用方面的有效性。结论从本试验中获得的信息，包括预防策略的适应过程，将有利于全国不同城市社区的酒精使用预防工作。
Objective Summarizes the research and intervention design of a new trial to evaluate an adaptation of Project Northland, a multicomponent, community-wide alcohol prevention program for culturally diverse youth living in a large city. The original Project Northland was successful in reducing alcohol use among a sample of mostly White, rural adolescents. Methods We highlight the steps taken to adapt the intervention strategies for culturally diverse inner-city youth, families, and neighborhoods. The research design is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the adapted Project Northland for reducing the early onset and prevalence of alcohol use among young urban adolescents. Conclusion The information gained from this trial, including the process of adaptation of prevention strategies, will be beneficial for alcohol-use prevention efforts within diverse urban communities across the country.
