DESCRIPTION (adapted from the applicant's abstract): This grant application is in response to a program announcement by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Exploratory/Development grant submissions (R21 mechanism) to design and develop interventions. This proposal attempts to intervene with delinquents by building on two previous HIV prevention successes: Project LIGHT, the National Institute of Mental Health's Multisite Prevention Trial (NIMH, 1998), and a 7-session version of Project LIGHT specifically targeted for high-risk adolescents. This project aims to use Project LIGHT with a new population using a different modality (computer delivery). The goal of this proposal is to adapt the Project LIGHT intervention for delinquent youth in Los Angeles County Probation Schools, design a CD-ROM to deliver the intervention, and to conduct a pilot study to examine the acceptability, feasibility, and utility of Project LIGHT with delinquent youth. Adaptation of Project LIGHT for delinquent youth requires identifying strategies for delivering the intervention that are highly attractive to youth (CD-ROM) that are tailored to everyday settings in which youth are served in a cost-effective fashion, and that remain effective in reducing risk behaviors. Phase 1 of the research plan will involve formative research (focus groups and interviews) to determine the characteristics of the intervention that need to be tailored for the new population of delinquent youth. At the conclusion of Phase 1, a CD-ROM computer program will be developed for delivering the intervention. In Phase 2, a pilot study will be conducted in four schools to examine the acceptability, comprehensiveness, quality of the computerized intervention, and the youths' perceptions of the intervention. Youth will be assessed at a baseline interview and followed longitudinally for 3-months. The results of this study will inform researchers and the public health community about the feasibility and acceptability of HIV interventions to be delivered in everyday settings using a computer-based delivery strategy.

描述（根据申请人的摘要改编）：此赠款申请是 回应国立卫生研究院的计划公告 （NIH）用于设计的探索/发展赠款提交（R21机制） 并制定干预措施。该提议试图干预犯罪 通过建立以前的两个艾滋病毒预防成功：项目灯， 美国国家心理健康研究所的多站点预防试验（NIMH，1998）， 以及专门针对高风险的项目光的7条版本 青少年。该项目旨在将项目灯与新的人群一起使用 不同的方式（计算机交付）。该提议的目的是适应 洛杉矶县犯罪青年的项目轻度干预 缓刑学校，设计一个CD-ROM来提供干预，并进行 一项试点研究，以检查项目的可接受性，可行性和效用 与犯罪青年一起光。 适应违法青年的项目光的适应需要确定 提供对青年极有吸引力的干预措施的策略 （CD-ROM）是针对日常设置量身定制的，其中年轻 具有成本效益的时尚，并且在降低风险行为方面仍然有效。 研究计划的第1阶段将涉及形成性研究（焦点小组和 访谈）确定需要的干预特征 为新的犯罪青年人量身定制。结束 第1阶段，将开发一个CD-ROM计算机程序，以交付 干涉。在第2阶段，将在四所学校进行试点研究 检查计算机化的可接受性，全面性，质量 干预以及年轻人对干预的看法。青年会 在基线访谈中进行评估，并纵向进行了3个月的时间。这 这项研究的结果将告知研究人员和公共卫生社区 关于要交付的HIV干预措施的可行性和可接受性 日常设置使用基于计算机的交付策略。
