DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Five years of funding are being requested through the Mentored Career Development Award (K08) program to provide the applicant with skills to establish a program of research focusing on reducing violence and antisocial behavior among gang-affiliated juvenile offenders. A primary goal is to modify the Behavioral Employment Intervention Program (BEIP) for use with gang-affiliated offenders who are predominantly Latino and African American. The award will permit the applicant to build on a strong foundation of research and clinical experience focusing on evidence-based treatments for children and families and effective treatments for ethnic minority youth. The proposed training plan would provide instruction and mentoring in (1) how aspects of Latino culture influence mental health functioning and service use, (2) youth gang) processes that may affect behavioral, mental health, and employment outcomes, (3) methods for modifying and implementing evidence-based interventions, and (4) data analytic techniques for use in evaluating the results of controlled clinical trials. The research plan for this award will occur in two phases and will utilize the training activities supported by this award. First, BEIP will be modified for gang-affiliated offenders, operationalized in the form of a treatment manual, and implemented with a pilot sample of 5-10 gang-affiliated youth in Los Angeles. Second, a pilot efficacy trial will be conducted comparing Modified BElP to Services as Usual with a larger sample (n = 30) of gang-affiliated youth offenders. The data collected from this research plan will form the basis for a future R01 grant submission to conduct a larger scale clinical trial that tests the effectiveness of the Modified BElT intervention.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过“指导职业发展奖”计划（K08）计划要求提供五年的资金，以为申请人提供技能，以建立一项研究计划，重点是减少帮派隶属少年罪犯的暴力和反社会行为。一个主要目标是修改行为就业干预计划（BEIP），以与主要是拉丁裔和非裔美国人的帮派附属罪犯一起使用。该奖项将允许申请人建立在研究和临床经验的强大基础上，重点介绍儿童和家庭的循证治疗，以及针对少数民族青少年的有效治疗。拟议的培训计划将在（1）拉丁裔文化方面如何影响心理健康功能和服务的方面，（2）青年团伙）过程，可能影响行为，心理健康和就业成果，（3）修改和实施循证基于证据的干预措施的方法，以及（4）用于评估控制临床临床审判的数据分析技术。 该奖项的研究计划将分为两个阶段，并将利用该奖项支持的培训活动。首先，将以beip的形式修改为帮派附属罪犯，以治疗手册的形式进行操作，并通过洛杉矶的5-10名帮派附属青年进行试验样本。其次，将进行一项试验效力试验，将改​​良的BELP与往常一样，与较大的帮派隶属青年犯罪者（n = 30）进行比较。从本研究计划中收集的数据将构成未来R01赠款提交的基础，以进行大规模的临床试验，以测试修改后的皮带干预的有效性。
