DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of the K01 is to expand the applicant's research capabilities in the area of acculturation and adolescent drug abuse prevention. The applicant's clinical background and research experience have been in the areas of adolescent substance abuse, ethnic identity, and prevention programs, largely involving qualitative methodologies. The present application proposes a structured program of mentoring, training, and supervised research to increase her capacity to conduct high-quality research blending state of the art qualitative and quantitative methodologies. This K01 will accomplish this through the following specific aims: AIM 1 is to provide a structured program of: 1) mentoring by a team of nationally known federally-funded researchers, 2) course work in areas of theory, methodology, and intervention design, and 3) training visits to nationally known substance abuse research centers to gather information regarding theory, methodology, intervention strategy, project management, and grantsmanship. AIM 2 is to provide a supervised research experience to allow the applicant to explore the role of acculturation and ethnic identification and their implications for prevention with multi-ethnic high-risk youth. The applicant will collaborate with Co-mentors at Arizona State University (Marsiglia) and University of Pennsylvania (Hecht) in the implementation of the Drug Resistance Strategies (DRS-4) project, a school based prevention curriculum with an acculturation component. Specifically, the applicant's involvement will incorporate two innovations stemming from the applicant's preliminary studies: 1) addition of expanded conceptualization and measurement of the acculturation and acculturative stress constructs to the DRS intervention in Arizona, and 2) exploratory testing of the DRS in Austin with multiethnic youth in community-based sites with high-risk youth often excluded by school-based programs. The Austin component will involve qualitative and qualitative techniques. AIM 3 is to design an R01 application to develop and evaluate new acculturatively appropriate prevention approaches with high-risk youth in community settings.

描述（由申请人提供）： K 01的长期目标是扩大申请人在文化适应和青少年药物滥用预防领域的研究能力。申请人的临床背景和研究经验一直在青少年药物滥用，种族认同和预防计划领域，主要涉及定性方法。本申请提出了一种指导、培训和监督研究的结构化计划，以提高她进行混合最先进的定性和定量方法的高质量研究的能力。本K 01将通过以下具体目标实现这一目标：AIM 1是提供一个结构化的方案：1）由全国知名的联邦资助的研究人员团队指导，2）理论，方法和干预设计领域的课程工作，以及3）对全国知名的药物滥用研究中心进行培训访问，以收集有关理论，方法，干预策略，项目管理的信息，还有格兰比亚目的2是提供一个有监督的研究经验，让申请人探索文化适应和种族认同的作用及其对预防多民族高风险青年的影响。申请人将与亚利桑那州立大学（Marsiglia）和宾夕法尼亚大学（Hecht）的共同导师合作实施耐药性战略（DRS-4）项目，这是一个以学校为基础的预防课程，其中包括文化适应部分。具体而言，申请人的参与将包括来自申请人的初步研究的两项创新：1）在亚利桑那州的DRS干预中增加了文化适应和文化适应压力结构的扩展概念化和测量，以及2）在奥斯汀的DRS探索性测试中，多种族青年在社区站点中，高风险青年通常被学校计划排除在外。奥斯汀部分将涉及定性和定量技术。AIM 3是设计一个R 01应用程序，以开发和评估针对社区环境中高危青少年的新的适应不同文化的预防方法。
