DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) Attracting young people into scientific careers in drug abuse, is a goal of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1993). The under representation of females in the scientific community underscores the need to encourage more females to pursue scientific careers (Yentsch & Sinderman, 1992), and in drug abuse research (NIDA, 1993). Based upon involvement with research projects in rural areas, and experiences with Appalachian youth, there is modest interest in scientific careers among these youth, and most frequently no knowledge of, or interest in, drug abuse research among females. The overall aim of this revised project is to develop, implement, and refine a curriculum manual -- Female Drug Abuse Science Curriculum (F-DASC) -- which targets Appalachian high school females to increase their scientific, technological, and interpersonal skills in order to facilitate their entry into drug abuse research. The specific aims for this project are: (1) To develop and implement the curriculum to increase the scientific, technological, and interpersonal skills of Appalachian high school females in the area of drug abuse research; (2) To provide female scientific mentors and community mentors to serve as role models; (3) To increase the scientific, technological, and interpersonal skills of Appalachian women in order to enhance their awareness of, interest in, and likelihood of entering scientific careers in the areas of drug abuse research; and (4) To refine the curriculum and develop a manual for replication. Fifty young women will participate in the intensive three year F-DASC experience. Scientific and community mentoring on-going throughout each year is coupled with a four week campus summer curriculum. The approach, based on the literature and the experience of the University of Kentucky Center for Science and Health Careers makes science exciting and offers rewards to maintain interest in research with increased skills to pursue careers in drug abuse research.

描述：（申请人摘要） 吸引年轻人从事药物滥用方面的科学事业， 国家药物滥用研究所（NIDA，1993年）。 代表性不足 女性在科学界的地位强调了鼓励 更多的女性从事科学事业（Yentsch和Sinderman，1992年）， 药物滥用研究（NIDA，1993年）。 基于参与研究 农村地区的项目，以及阿巴拉契亚青年的经验， 这些年轻人对科学事业的兴趣不大， 对女性药物滥用研究不了解或不感兴趣。 的 这个修订项目的总体目标是开发、实施和完善一个 课程手册-女性药物滥用科学课程， 针对阿巴拉契亚高中女生， 技术和人际关系技能，以方便他们进入 药物滥用研究 该项目的具体目标是：（1） 制定和实施课程，以增加科学， 阿巴拉契亚高中女生的技术和人际交往能力 （2）提供女性科学导师 及社区导师作为榜样;（3）增加 阿巴拉契亚妇女的科学、技术和人际交往能力 为了提高他们的意识，兴趣，和可能进入 （4）在药物滥用研究领域的科学事业;及 课程，并制定一份手册供复制。 50名年轻女性将 参加为期三年的密集F-DASC经验。 科学和 每年持续进行的社区指导加上四个 周校园暑期课程。 该方法基于文献和 肯塔基州大学科学与健康中心的经验 职业生涯使科学令人兴奋，并提供奖励，以保持兴趣， 研究与提高技能，追求职业生涯中的药物滥用研究。
