DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This 5-year project represents a collaboration between the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University and the Medical Research Council (MRC) of South Africa (PI: Dr. Priscilla Reddy). In addition to working with our primary partner, the MRC, the collaboration will include two well-established universities, the University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences (Dr. Dele Amousoun) and the Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine, University of Natal, Durbin (Dr. Jinhabahi). The study has two interrelated primary aims. AIM 1) Conduct a randomized trial comparing the effectiveness of two approaches to tobacco use prevention in a multiethnic sample of South African youth grades five to seven. One of the interventions will be based on a social skills/peer resistance model (Dr. Gil Botvin's Life Skills Training Curriculum), the other on a Harm Minimization model (KEEP LEFT), developed by the principal investigator with colleagues from Western Australia. Approximately 36 Schools will be randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups. Group 1 (comparison) schools will receive usual tobacco and substance use education. Group 2 will receive the Life Skills Training curriculum (adapted for South African youth) beginning in Grade 5, continuing through Grade 7. Group 3 will receive the KEEP LEFT, Harm Minimization curriculum (adapted for South African youth) beginning in Grade 5, continuing through Grade 7. The primary outcome for the school-based intervention study will be 30-day cigarette use. AIM 2) Conduct a comprehensive capacity building initiative to enhance the expertise, across the entire spectrum of tobacco control (e.g., prevention, cessation, and legislation) of South African educators, clinicians, researchers, and policy makers. The main objective to achieve this aim is to conduct an education and training program for five discrete audiences: health and allied professionals, university-based researchers from several disciplines, undergraduate and graduate students from health sciences faculties, university policy makers as well as parliamentary portfolio committees, and legislative, policy and program planners at the national and provincial levels.

描述(由申请人提供)： 这个为期5年的项目是埃默里大学罗林斯公共卫生学院和南非医学研究理事会(MRC)(PI：Priscilla Reddy博士)之间的合作项目。除了与我们的主要合作伙伴MRC合作外，合作还将包括两所著名的大学：开普敦大学健康科学学院(Dele Amousoun博士)和德宾纳塔尔大学纳尔逊·R·曼德拉医学院(金哈巴希博士)。这项研究有两个相互关联的主要目标。 目的1)在南非五至七年级的多民族青年样本中，进行一项随机试验，比较两种预防烟草使用方法的有效性。其中一项干预措施将基于社交技能/同伴抵抗模型(吉尔·博特文博士的生活技能培训课程)，另一项干预措施将基于由首席调查员与西澳大利亚同事共同开发的伤害最小化模型(Keep Left)。大约36所学校将被随机分配到三个试验组中的一个。第一组(对照)学校将接受常规的烟草和药物使用教育。第二组将从五年级开始接受生活技能培训课程(适合南非青年)，一直持续到七年级。第三组将从五年级开始，一直持续到七年级。第三组将接受保持左转，将伤害降至最低的课程(适合南非青年)。这项以学校为基础的干预研究的主要结果是30天吸烟。 目的2)开展一项全面的能力建设倡议，以增强南非教育工作者、临床医生、研究人员和政策制定者在整个烟草控制领域(如预防、戒烟和立法)的专业知识。实现这一目标的主要目标是为五个不同的受众开展教育和培训方案：卫生及相关专业人员、几个学科的大学研究人员、卫生科学学院的本科生和研究生、大学政策制定者以及议会投资组合委员会，以及国家和省级的立法、政策和方案规划者。
