This project will develop prototypes of health education materials for an Appalachian Community Kit for Alcohol Prevention. Materials will reflect the unique culture of Appalachia. Appalachia is important: With one in twelve Americans living there, the region has a population equal to that of all Latino Americans at the last census. Though Appalachia has significant legal and social impediments to alcohol use, alcohol abuse there is common. Nevertheless, the region lacks culturally appropriate materials for alcohol prevention. Relying on sound prevention science, the firm will develop a culturally congruent kit that uses the focal role of women in the Appalachian family as the access point. To test this approach's feasibility, staff will conduct focus groups to understand how Appalachian mothers and youth react to alcohol prevention. Based on findings, the firm will develop prototypes of materials that use appropriate images and messages to empower women to prevent alcohol use among their offspring. Concurrently, staff will develop an instrument to evaluate materials and pretest this instrument to address issues of reliability and validity. By means of a survey, staff will determine whether women understand messages, accept them, and feel motivated. Toborg Associates will document its research and recommendations in a monograph. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The Community Kit will be marketed extensively throughout Appalachia, which includes all or part of 13 states, 406 counties, many small and medium-sized towns, and 21 million residents, a number of persons equal to all Latino Americans at the last census. The many health departments, community-based organizations, hospitals, health clinics, homemakers' clubs, church groups, and small colleges in the region as well as individual doctors' offices will provide a rich market.

该项目将为阿巴拉契亚社区预防酗酒工具包开发健康教育材料原型。 材料将反映阿巴拉契亚的独特文化。 阿巴拉契亚很重要：每12个美国人中就有一个住在那里，该地区的人口相当于上次人口普查时所有拉丁美洲人的人口。虽然阿巴拉契亚有显着的法律的和社会障碍，酒精使用，酗酒是常见的。然而，该区域缺乏文化上适当的预防酗酒材料。 依靠健全的预防科学，该公司将开发一个文化上一致的工具包，利用妇女在阿巴拉契亚家庭的核心作用作为切入点。 为了测试这种方法的可行性，工作人员将进行焦点小组，以了解阿巴拉契亚母亲和青年对酒精预防的反应。 根据调查结果，该公司将开发使用适当图像和信息的材料原型，以增强妇女防止其后代饮酒的能力。同时，工作人员将开发一种工具来评估材料，并对该工具进行预测试，以解决可靠性和有效性问题。 通过调查，工作人员将确定妇女是否理解信息，接受信息，并感到有动力。 Toborg Associates将在专著中记录其研究和建议。拟议的商业应用：社区工具包将在整个阿巴拉契亚地区广泛销售，其中包括13个州的全部或部分地区、406个县、许多中小城镇和2100万居民，相当于上次人口普查时所有拉丁美洲人的人数。 该地区的许多卫生部门、社区组织、医院、诊所、家庭主妇俱乐部、教会团体和小型学院以及个人医生诊所将提供丰富的市场。
