DESCRIPTION: The proposed research is designed to examine reduction in youth substance use and other problem behavior resulting from the application of an innovative intervention partnership model called PROSPER (PROmoting School/community-university Partnerships to Enhance Resilience). The need for this research is indicated by epidemiological data on substance use and related problems among young adolescents, and by the limited diffusion of empirically-supported interventions designed to prevent such problems. The proposed study will draw upon results from several federally-funded projects at Iowa State University and Pennsylvania State University that have demonstrated (a) the feasibility of a diffusion partnership model linking land-grant university researchers, the Cooperative Extension System, the public school system, and community stakeholders, and (b) promising methods for the evaluation of partnership processes. A randomized, cohort sequential design will be applied. Eligible school districts (e.g., those with higher proportions of families eligible for the school lunch program) will be identified, with total school enrollments ranging between approximately 1,300 and 5,200 students. Fourteen school districts in IA and in PA (N = 28) meeting eligibility criteria will be selected, blocked on size, and randomly assigned to either the diffusion partnership condition or to a "usual programming" control condition. Approximately 2,500 6th graders in each of two consecutive cohorts in each state (N = 10,000) will complete a school-based assessment; approximately 1,200 randomly selected students and their parents in the second cohort will complete in-home interviews, including videotaped family interactions. Local partnership teams will select and implement interventions from a menu of empirically-supported family-focused and school-based interventions. The proposed study will evaluate partnership-assisted intervention outcomes-both mediators (e.g., targeted skills) and more distal outcomes (e.g., adolescent substance use) common to all interventions on the menu, conducting intervention-control comparisons at posttest and follow-up assessments, using multi-method, multi-informant procedures (Aim 1). Partnership processes will be assessed to identify factors that positively affect: (a) success of the partnerships from partner and outsider perspectives, (b) quality of intervention implementation, and (c) institutionalization of the partnership (Aim 2). Modeling of partnership and intervention-related change mechanisms also will be conducted. Results will guide application of the partnership model to other school districts in IA and PA and, subsequently, to other states.

描述：拟议的研究旨在调查青少年药物使用的减少 以及因应用名为 PROSPER（促进学校/社区大学合作伙伴关系以增强复原力）的创新干预伙伴关系模型而产生的其他问题行为。关于青少年中药物使用和相关问题的流行病学数据以及药物传播的有限性表明了这项研究的必要性。 旨在预防此类问题的经验支持的干预措施。拟议的研究将借鉴爱荷华州立大学和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的几个联邦资助项目的结果，这些项目证明了（a）将赠地大学研究人员、合作推广系统、公立学校系统和社区利益相关者联系起来的扩散伙伴关系模型的可行性，以及（b）有前途的方法 评估伙伴关系进程。 将采用随机队列序贯设计。将确定符合条件的学区（例如，符合学校午餐计划的家庭比例较高的学区），学校总入学人数约为 1,300 至 5,200 名学生。将选择爱荷华州和宾夕法尼亚州 (N = 28) 符合资格标准的 14 个学区，并在 大小，并随机分配给扩散伙伴关系条件或“通常编程”控制条件。每个州两个连续队列中的每组大约有 2,500 名六年级学生 (N = 10,000) 将完成校本评估；第二批中大约 1,200 名随机挑选的学生及其家长将完成家庭访谈，包括录制家庭互动的视频。当地合作伙伴团队将选择并 实施一系列以经验为基础、以家庭为中心和以学校为基础的干预措施。 拟议的研究将评估合作伙伴协助的干预结果——菜单上所有干预措施共有的中介因素（例如，有针对性的技能）和更远端的结果（例如，青少年药物使用），使用多方法、多信息程序，在后测和后续评估中进行干预控制比较（目标1）。将评估伙伴关系进程，以确定积极影响的因素： (a) (b) 干预措施实施的质量，(c) 伙伴关系的制度化（目标 2）。还将对伙伴关系和干预相关的变革机制进行建模。结果将指导合作伙伴模式在爱荷华州和宾夕法尼亚州的其他学区以及随后在其他州的应用。
