DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives of the three scientific meetings comprising this conference, titled "Developing Interventions for Latino Children, Youth and Families," are to advance knowledge and methods on integrating cultural constructs into extant and new interventions. We propose to bring together leading scholars in Latino mental health, behavioral sciences, and intervention research to address three objectives: to (1) identify, isolate, and crystallize conceptual definitions of core cultural constructs of diverse Latino groups considered essential for developing interventions for children, youth and parents (Year One Meeting), (2) (a) generate via expert consensus and empirical and theoretical literatures precise operational descriptions of how each core cultural construct is manifested behaviorally by Latinos in different age groups and (b) transform the constructs into intervention-behaviors that therapists must use with clients (Year Two Meeting), and (3) (a) sponsor adaptations of extant psychosocial interventions by junior investigators that integrate the definitions and (b) support research grant applications and publications (Year Three Meeting). Past literature on Latino mental health and behavioral sciences described cultural traditions, beliefs, values, and behavioral practices but they have not been clearly defined nor operationalized into a set of cultural constructs for incorporating into treatment protocols. Questions remain about which cultural constructs are important, how they are operationalized, and how they can be embedded into the therapy process. This conference will fill the critical gaps in knowledge in the development of interventions for Latino children, adolescents and families in the areas of depression, anxiety, and conduct disorders. The conference will be held annually in early April of 2006, 2007, and 2008 at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. An Organizing Committee will oversee the meetings to insure a successful, high quality endeavor. Products from the conference will include scientific papers to be published in high impact journals, conference proceedings, and 4 or more NIH grant applications to test the integration of Latino cultural constructs in empirically supported interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议的三个科学会议的目标，题为“为拉丁美洲儿童，青年和家庭制定干预措施”，是推进知识和方法，将文化结构融入现有和新的干预措施。我们建议将拉丁美洲心理健康，行为科学和干预研究的领先学者聚集在一起，以解决三个目标：（1）确定、分离和明确不同拉丁美洲群体的核心文化结构的概念定义，这些概念定义被认为是制定针对儿童、青年和父母的干预措施所必需的（第一年会议），（2）（a）通过专家共识和经验及理论文献，对不同年龄组的拉丁美洲人在行为上如何表现每一个核心文化结构进行精确的操作描述，以及（B）将这些结构转化为治疗师必须与来访者一起使用的干预行为（第二年会议），以及（3）（a）赞助初级研究人员对现有的心理社会干预进行调整，整合定义和（B）支持研究资助申请和出版物（第三年会议）。过去的拉丁美洲精神健康和行为科学文献描述了文化传统，信仰，价值观和行为实践，但它们没有被明确定义，也没有被操作成一套文化结构纳入治疗方案。问题仍然是哪些文化结构是重要的，它们是如何操作的，以及它们如何嵌入到治疗过程中。本次会议将填补知识的关键空白，在抑郁症，焦虑和行为障碍领域的拉丁裔儿童，青少年和家庭的干预措施的发展。会议将于2006年、2007年和2008年4月初在圣路易斯华盛顿大学的乔治沃伦布朗社会工作学院举行。组委会将监督会议，以确保成功，高质量的奋进。会议的产品将包括在高影响力期刊上发表的科学论文，会议论文集和4个或更多NIH资助申请，以测试拉丁美洲文化结构在经验支持的干预措施中的整合。
