项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): One aim of this study is to assess the impact of a recent natural disaster on female adolescent offenders, a group with increased likelihood of negative outcomes in response to disaster-related stress and other adverse life events. We propose to study the mental health effects of Hurricane Katrina and three potential maladaptive outcomes: substance abuse, delinquency/crime, and sexual risk behavior. We will determine if, and to what extent, young women incarcerated in Mississippi were directly affected by the hurricane or indirectly affected through their families and significant others. We will compare hurricane affected subjects with those not affected on measures psychological distress (anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress). A second aim is to test a stress model of deviant and health compromising behavior using path analysis and structural equation modeling. Controlling for pre-disaster deviance, we will test the effects of stressors, psychological distress, and mediating/moderating effects of coping, social support, and reciept of services on post-disaster deviance. Part of the sample for this project will be selected from participants who are currently enrolled in a National Institute on Drug Abuse funded STD/HIV risk reduction intervention (DA017509). Of the 140 active study participants, 84 of them were residing in FEMA designated disaster counties prior to the hurricane. Problems associated with the hurricane and it's aftermath may confound results of intervention effectiveness. Thus, a third aim of the proposed research is to assess this threat to validity. We will also recruit female adolescent offenders incarcerated since Hurricane Katrina to increase the sample size to 300 to allow sufficient power for the proposed analysis plan. Potential subjects will be recruited from the state training school for girls and from juvenile detention facilities located in the southern part of the state. Female adolescents with a history of incarceration have high rates of substance use, mental illness, and health problems, including sexually transmitted diseases. This study will contribute to the design of prevention interventions for this population to address multiple health problems simultaneously.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的一个目的是评估最近的自然灾害对女性青少年罪犯的影响，这是一个在应对与灾害有关的压力和其他不良生活事件时出现负面结果的可能性增加的群体。我们建议研究卡特里娜飓风对心理健康的影响和三个潜在的适应不良后果：药物滥用，青少年犯罪和性风险行为。我们将确定被监禁在密西西比的年轻妇女是否以及在多大程度上受到飓风的直接影响，或者通过她们的家人和重要的其他人间接受到影响。我们将比较受飓风影响的受试者与未受影响的受试者的心理困扰（焦虑，抑郁和创伤后应激）。第二个目的是测试的压力模型的偏差和健康危害行为的路径分析和结构方程模型。控制灾前偏差，我们将测试的压力源，心理困扰，以及中介/调节作用的应对，社会支持和接受服务的灾后偏差。本项目的部分样本将从目前参加国家药物滥用研究所资助的STD/HIV风险降低干预（DA 017509）的参与者中选择。在140名活跃的研究参与者中，有84人在飓风发生前居住在FEMA指定的受灾县。与飓风及其后果相关的问题可能会混淆干预效果的结果。因此，拟议研究的第三个目的是评估这种对有效性的威胁。我们还将招募自卡特里娜飓风以来被监禁的女性青少年罪犯，将样本量增加到300人，以便为拟议的分析计划提供足够的力量。潜在的受试者将从州女子培训学校和位于该州南部的少年拘留所招募。有监禁史的少女吸毒、精神疾病和健康问题，包括性传播疾病的发生率很高。这项研究将有助于为这一人群设计预防干预措施，以同时解决多种健康问题。
