Long Term Follow-up of Focus on Families

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项“美沙酮维持家庭风险聚焦预防培训”（简称FOF）（授权号DA05824-06）后续研究的提案，这是一项对美沙酮治疗父母及其家庭进行干预的随机临床试验。我们寻求三年的支持，从FOF样本中收集和分析家庭数据，从他们参加该项目12年半到他们最后一次接受采访大约10年。FOF计划是对以美沙酮治疗接受者为首的家庭进行的选择性预防性干预。这种选择性干预的目的是防止父母复发，帮助他们应对复发，并减少他们的孩子滥用药物的可能性。获得进一步的后续数据将使评估长期方案成果成为可能。在后续研究中的纵向测量显示了衰退模式（Schinke & Gilchrist, 1984）、维持模式（Perry et al., 1980）；延迟积极效应（Hawkins et al., 1999; Spoth et al., 2000）。本研究中用于防止父母复发和子女药物使用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.
