DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary purpose of this application is to test the feasibility and efficacy of innovative, selective drug abuse prevention strategies using positive career and personal development communications for diverse substance using young people who are transitioning from high school into careers and college. The long-term objective of this project is to reduce marijuana, cigarette, and alcohol abuse and problems among high-risk older adolescents transitioning into adulthood who are often ignored in prevention research and services. The first phase of this project will involve formative research, including focus groups, instrument validation surveys, expert panels, and a pre-pilot study. This phase of research is aimed at enhancing the utility, validity and appeal of the modified and expanded outcome instrument, tailored adolescent strategies, and parent communication prompts integrating marijuana and cigarette smoking messages, along with existing alcoholic beverage specific consumption messages, into a positive-message career and personal development program. The second phase will involve two studies. The first is a pilot study testing the feasibility of the modified and expanded preventive intervention, titled the Healthy Transitions Project (HTP). The HTP intervention will consist of: 1) a Healthy Transitions Screen (HTS); 2) a tailored one-on-one Career Consultation with messages linking successful career and life decisions with avoiding drug and alcohol use; 3) a set of Personal Development Newsletters providing tips and resources needed in making important decisions regarding career, college, and personal success, with drug use avoidance messages embedded throughout; and 4) a series of Parent Communication Postcards prompting parent-adolescent communication regarding successful career choices, including maintaining healthy behaviors and avoiding high-risk health habits. The second study is a longitudinal randomized trial examining the short, medium and long-term efficacy of the HTP intervention among substance using high school seniors from diverse school settings (inner city, rural and suburban) who are transitioning into work or college, compared against a standard generic career awareness and prevention education control. This study will also examine whether the effects of the preventive intervention on marijuana, cigarettes and alcohol use were mediated by various alcoholic beverage specific consumption patterns and drug use risk/protective factors.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的主要目的是使用积极的职业和个人发展沟通来测试创新，选择性药物滥用的预防策略，该策略使用正在从高中过渡到职业和大学的年轻人为各种物质进行多种物质。该项目的长期目标是减少大麻，香烟和酗酒以及在过渡到成年期的高风险老年青少年中的问题，他们在预防研究和服务中经常被忽略。该项目的第一阶段将涉及形成性研究，包括焦点小组，仪器验证调查，专家小组和小便前研究。这一研究阶段旨在提高经过修改和扩展的结果工具，量身定制的青少年策略的效用，有效性和吸引力，并提示将大麻和香烟吸烟信息集成到现有的酒精饮料消费信息中，并将其纳入积极的媒体职业和个人发展计划。第二阶段将涉及两项研究。第一个是一项试点研究，测试了改良和扩展的预防干预措施的可行性，标题为“健康过渡项目（HTP）”。 HTP干预将包括：1）健康的过渡筛查（HTS）； 2）一对一的职业咨询，与避免毒品和饮酒的消息联系在一起的消息，将成功的职业和生活决策与避免毒品和饮酒联系起来； 3）一组个人开发新闻通讯，提供有关职业，大学和个人成功的重要决策所需的技巧和资源，并在整个过程中嵌入了毒品使用避免信息； 4）一系列父母沟通明信片，促使父母 - 青少年关于成功职业选择的沟通，包括保持健康的行为和避免高风险的健康习惯。第二项研究是一项纵向随机试验，研究了HTP干预的短期，中，长期疗效，使用来自不同学校环境（Inner City，Rural和郊区）的高中生中的高中生，他们正在过渡到工作或大学，与标准的一般职业意识和预防教育控制相比。这项研究还将研究预防干预对大麻，香烟和饮酒的影响是否是由各种酒精饮料特定的消费模式和药物使用风险/保护因素介导的。
