Long Term Follow-up of Focus on Families

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个建议，以进行后续的“风险为重点的预防培训美沙酮维持家庭”（在这里称为重点家庭使用首字母缩略词FOF）（补助金#DA 05824 -06），一个随机临床试验的干预美沙酮治疗的父母和他们的家庭。我们寻求三年的支持，以收集和分析FOF样本家庭的数据，这些家庭是在他们参加该项目后12年半和他们最后一次接受采访后大约10年。FOF计划是一项选择性预防干预措施，针对以美沙酮治疗接受者为户主的家庭。这种选择性干预的目的是防止父母复吸，帮助他们科普复吸，并减少其子女滥用药物的可能性。获得进一步的随访数据将使评估长期计划结果成为可能。在后续研究中的纵向测量已经证明了衰变（Schinke & Gilchrist，1984）、维持（佩里等人，1980）;和延迟的正效应（Hawkins等人，1999; Spoth等人，2000年）。本研究中用于预防父母复发和子女使用药物的干预措施也可能对目标风险和保护因素以及药物使用产生延迟或“睡眠”效应。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to conduct a follow up of "Risk Focused Prevention Training for Methadone Maintenance Families" (referred to here as Focus on Families using the acronym FOF) (Grant # DA05824-06), a randomized clinical trial of an intervention with methadone treatment parents and their families. We seek three years of support to collect and analyze data on families from the FOF sample 12-and-a-half years after they were enrolled in the project and about 10 years after they were last interviewed. The FOF program is a selective preventive intervention with families headed by recipients of methadone treatment. The goal of this selective intervention was to prevent parents' relapse, help them cope with relapse if it occurred, and reduce the likelihood of substance abuse among their children. Obtaining further follow up data will make it possible to assess long-term program outcomes. Longitudinal measurement in follow-up studies has demonstrated patterns of decay (Schinke & Gilchrist, 1984), maintenance (Perry et al., 1980); and delayed positive effects (Hawkins et al., 1999; Spoth et al., 2000). The interventions used in this research study to prevent relapse among parents and substance use among their children may also produce delayed or "sleeper" effects on targeted risk and protective factors and substance use.
