DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Brief Intervention for Minority Adolescent Drinkers" is a five-year research project designed to develop and test a developmentally and culturally sensitive, school-based, brief intervention for high risk African-American and Hispanic/Latino adolescent drinkers enrolled in alternative high schools. Alternative school students report (a) earlier first drink, first time drunk, and first marijuana use, (b) more polysubstance use, and (c) more frequent and heavy use of illicit substances than traditional high school students. In addition, alternative school students are disproportionately from ethnic/cultural minority groups, and very little empirical research has examined the effectiveness of alcohol or other drug interventions for minorities of any age. The primary goal of the proposed research is to conduct a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of a developmentally and culturally congruent school-based motivational interviewing intervention with alcohol abusing alternative school students. Participants (n = 540) will be randomly assigned to two treatment conditions: (1) assessment plus a motivational interviewing feedback session (A+MI) or (2) assessment plus a brief advice session (A+BA). Participants will be evaluated at study entry, and at three-month, six-month and nine-month follow-ups. We hypothesize that adolescents assigned to A+MI will demonstrate significantly greater reductions in alcohol use than adolescents assigned to (A+BA). Additional study aims will examine the moderating effects of cultural and ethnic factors (e.g., perceived discrimination, cultural mistrust, acculturation, acculturation stress) on intervention response. The ultimate aim of the proposed study is to develop more effective interventions for high risk alternative school drinkers, particularly ethnic/cultural minority adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）：对少数族裔青少年饮酒者的简短干预”是一个为期五年的研究项目，旨在开发和测试一种对替代高中招收的高风险非裔美国人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年饮酒者的高风险，对高风险的高风险的发展。 替代学校的学生报告（a）早些时候第一次喝酒，第一次喝醉和第一次使用大麻，（b）比传统的高中生更多的polysubstance使用，以及（c）更频繁和大量使用非法物质。此外，替代学校的学生来自种族/文化少数群体的不成比例，几乎没有实证研究检查了任何年龄段的少数族裔酒精或其他药物干预的有效性。拟议的研究的主要目的是进行一项随机临床试验，以评估开发和文化上一致的基于学校一致的动机访谈干预干预饮酒的替代学校学生的疗效。参与者（n = 540）将随机分配给两个治疗条件：（1）评估以及动机访谈反馈会议（A+MI）或（2）评估以及简短的建议会议（A+BA）。参与者将在研究条目以及三个月，六个月和九个月的随访中进行评估。我们假设分配给A+MI的青少年比分配给（A+BA）的青少年的酒精使用量会明显更大。其他研究的目的将研究文化和种族因素（例如，感知的歧视，文化不信任，适应，适应压力）对干预反应的调节作用。拟议的研究的最终目的是为高风险的替代学校饮酒者，尤其是少数民族青少年的替代饮酒者制定更有效的干预措施。
