DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Underage drinking has numerous negative consequences. Drinking heavily is more common among rural than urban underage populations and more likely among Native Americans than other ethnic groups, with rural American Indians drinking even more than their urban counterparts. The proposed cooperative agreement, detailed in this grant application, has a primary goal of developing and enriching the capacity of the Indian Health Council (IHC) and affiliated coalitions to address the problem of underage drinking in their communities. IHC serves nine Indian reservations in rural northern San Diego County. In order to achieve this goal, this cooperative agreement draws upon the combined strengths of the Indian Health Council, Inc. (IHC), Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation's Prevention Research Center (PRC), and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla. The specific aims of this project are: 1. To evaluate and upgrade the capacity of IHC to assess the extent of underage drinking in the areas that it serves. This aim will be implemented by training IHC and coalition members in techniques of quantitative survey design and implementation and qualitative data collection, analysis and utilization in order to develop in-clinic capacity to implement brief surveys to assess the extent and nature of underage drinking on the reservations, including where and how reservation youth obtain the alcohol they consume. 2. To evaluate and strengthen the capacity of IHC to intervene to reduce underage drinking. To accomplish this IHC, PRC and TSRI staff will conduct a series of seminars, workshops and training sessions for coalition members, reservation leaders, and interested community members on techniques for environmental prevention of alcohol problems and training for IHC physicians and staff on Motivational Intervention as a brief intervention technique for intervention with youth who have emerging alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Process evaluation will document the actions taken by the IHC, community coalitions, and reservation leadership with respect to the treatment and prevention of underage drinking in order to form a baseline prior to the intervention phase (Phase II). 3. To mobilize specific sectors of the community to partner with IHC in preparation for implementation and evaluation of preventive interventions designed to address underage drinking in this population. The cooperative agreement promises to both enrich and document the ways in which American Indians living in and around rural reservations can apply environmental prevention and brief interventions to reduce the incidence of underage drinking in their communities.

描述(申请人提供)：未成年饮酒有许多负面后果。大量饮酒在农村比城市未成年人中更常见，在美洲原住民中比其他种族更有可能，美国农村印第安人甚至比城市印第安人饮酒更多。本赠款申请中详述的拟议合作协议的主要目标是发展和丰富印度健康理事会(IHC)及其附属联盟的能力，以解决其社区的未成年饮酒问题。IHC为圣地亚哥县北部农村的九个印第安人保留地提供服务。为了实现这一目标，这项合作协议利用了印度健康理事会公司(IHC)、太平洋研究与评估研究所的预防研究中心(PRC)和拉霍亚的斯克里普斯研究所(TSRI)的综合优势。这一项目的具体目标是：1.评估和提升IHC评估其服务地区未成年人饮酒程度的能力。为实现这一目标，将对IHC和联盟成员进行定量调查设计和实施技术以及定性数据的收集、分析和利用方面的培训，以发展诊所能力，开展简要调查，以评估保留地未成年饮酒的程度和性质，包括保留地青年在哪里以及如何获得他们消费的酒精。2.评估和加强IHC的干预能力，以减少未成年人饮酒。为了实现这一目标，中国和TSRI的工作人员将为联盟成员、保留区领导人和感兴趣的社区成员举办一系列关于酒精问题环境预防技术的研讨会、工作坊和培训课程，并为IHC医生和工作人员提供关于激励干预的培训，将其作为干预出现酒精使用和酒精相关问题的青少年的一种简短干预技术。过程评估将记录IHC、社区联盟和保留领导在治疗和预防未成年人饮酒方面采取的行动，以便在干预阶段(第二阶段)之前形成基线。3.动员社区的特定部门与该中心合作，筹备实施和评估旨在解决这一人口中未成年饮酒问题的预防性干预措施。合作协议承诺丰富和记录居住在农村保留地及其周围的美国印第安人可以应用环境预防和简短干预的方式，以减少他们社区中未成年饮酒的发生率。
