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的科学职业，是 国家药物滥用问题研究所(NIDA，1993年)。以下为代表 女性在科学界的重要性强调有必要鼓励 更多的女性追求科学事业(Yentsch&Sinderman，1992)，以及 在药物滥用研究(NIDA，1993)。基于对研究的参与 农村地区的项目和阿巴拉契亚青年的经验，有 这些年轻人对科学事业的兴趣不大，而且最常见的是 对女性滥用药物的研究不了解或不感兴趣。这个 此修订项目的总体目标是开发、实施和完善 课程手册--女性药物滥用科学课程(F-DASC)-- 目标是阿巴拉契亚的高中女生增加她们的科学， 技术和人际交往技能，以便利他们进入 进行药物滥用研究。这项计划的具体目标是：(1) 开发和实施课程，以增加科学性， 阿巴拉契亚地区高中女生的技术技能和人际交往技能 在药物滥用研究领域；(2)提供女性科学导师 和社区导师作为榜样；(3)增加 年阿巴拉契亚妇女的科学、技术和人际交往技能 以提高他们对进入的意识、兴趣和可能性 在药物滥用研究领域的科学职业；和(4)完善 课程设置，并编写一份复制手册。五十名年轻女性将 参加为期三年的F-DASC强化体验。科学和 每年持续进行的社区辅导与四个 每周校园暑期课程。该方法基于文献和 肯塔基大学科学与健康中心的经验 职业让科学令人兴奋，并提供奖励以保持对科学的兴趣 具有更高技能的研究，以追求药物滥用研究的职业生涯。
