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（由申请人提供）：未成年人饮酒有许多负面后果。与城市未成年人群相比，在农村地区饮酒更为普遍，在美洲原住民中，饮酒比其他种族更有可能，而美国印第安人的饮酒量比其城市同行还多。该赠款申请中详细介绍的拟议合作协议的主要目标是发展和丰富印度卫生委员会（IHC）的能力和附属联盟，以解决社区中未成年人饮酒的问题。 IHC在圣地亚哥北部农村提供9个印度保留地。为了实现这一目标，该合作协议借鉴了印度健康委员会，Inc。（IHC），太平洋研究与评估研究所的预防研究中心（PRC）和Scripps研究所（TSRI）的联合优势。该项目的具体目的是：1。评估和升级IHC评估其服务领域未成年人饮酒程度的能力。该目标将通过培训IHC和联盟成员来实施定量调查设计和实施技术以及定性数据收集，分析和利用技术，以开发临时的能力，以实施简短的调查，以评估预订的未成年人饮酒的程度和性质，包括保留何处以及如何获得饮酒，并如何获得他们的饮酒。 2。评估和增强IHC干预以减少未成年饮酒的能力。为了完成这一IHC，PRC和TSRI员工将为联盟成员，预订领导者以及感兴趣的社区成员进行一系列研讨会，讲习班和培训课程，以预防酒精饮酒和培训的技术，并针对IHC医生和员工进行培训，以进行激励性干预技术，以与年轻人进行干预，以使其与酒精饮酒和酒精饮酒问题进行干预。流程评估将记录IHC，社区联盟和保留领导层在治疗和预防未成年人饮酒方面采取的行动，以便在干预阶段之前形成基线（第二阶段）。 3。动员社区的特定部门与IHC合作，准备实施和评估旨在解决该人群中未成年饮酒的预防干预措施。合作协议有望丰富并记录居住在农村保留地及其周围的美洲印第安人可以采用环境预防和简短干预措施以减少社区中未成年饮酒的发生率的方式。
