DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): (no more than 30 lines of text) This application proposes to test the feasibility of developing an online training program, Picture Me Alcohol Free (PMAF), intended to empower youth to become active participants in community-based efforts to reduce underage alcohol use and related consequences. Underage drinking continues to be serious public health concern in this country. This is reflected in the recent Call to Action by the U.S. Surgeon General's Office (2007) which places an emphasis on youth involvement in community-wide prevention. However, there are few, if any, commercially available tools that can be used by communities to train and support youth in community-based prevention. The proposed project will fill that need by using existing research and instructional technology to develop an innovative online training program that will guide youth, with the help of an adult facilitator, through the photovoice process in attempt to raise community awareness and motivate alcohol-related environmental and policy changes. Photovoice is a process by which participants learn to operate cameras and are invited to take pictures of strengths, weaknesses, and/or specific issues in their communities. Phase I will involve interviews with expert advisory panel members to determine the content and structure of the program, development of one online session, pilot testing of the prototype session with a sample of youth and leaders of youth-serving organizations, refinement of the prototype session, and development of a detailed outline of the final 8-session program. These Phase I tasks will be completed to demonstrate commercial and technical feasibility, as well as lay the ground work for full development and evaluation of the program in Phase II. Given the large number of youth-serving organizations that participate in community-based prevention of underage drinking, the commercial potential of PMAF is good. (1 or 2 sentences - relevance) This project has the potential to contribute to the health and well-being of underage youth, as well as increase the capacity of communities to employ comprehensive strategies and involve youth as stakeholders in the process of reducing underage drinking and associate problems. A contribution to the science of prevention will be made by developing and testing a targeted approach to prevention that has the potential to be applied to preventive interventions with other high-risk behaviors. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project has the potential to contribute to the health and well being of underage youth, as well as increase the capacity of communities to employ comprehensive strategies and involve youth as stakeholders in the process of reducing underage drinking and associate problems. A contribution to the science of prevention will be made by developing and testing a targeted approach to prevention that has the potential to be applied to preventive interventions with other high-risk behaviors.

描述（由申请人提供）：（不超过30行文本）本申请旨在测试开发在线培训计划的可行性，该计划旨在使青少年能够积极参与以社区为基础的努力，以减少未成年人饮酒及其相关后果。未成年人饮酒仍然是这个国家严重的公共卫生问题。这反映在美国卫生局局长办公室最近的《行动呼吁》（2007年）中，其中强调青年参与全社区的预防工作。然而，社区可用来培训和支持青年进行社区预防的商业工具很少，如果有的话。拟议的项目将通过利用现有的研究和教学技术来满足这一需求，以开发一个创新的在线培训计划，该计划将在成人主持人的帮助下，通过photovoice过程指导青年，以提高社区意识，并激励与酒精有关的环境和政策变化。Photovoice是参与者学习操作相机的过程，并被邀请拍摄他们社区的优势，弱点和/或具体问题。第一阶段将包括与专家咨询小组成员进行访谈，以确定方案的内容和结构，开发一个在线课程，以青年和青年服务组织领导人为样本对原型课程进行试点测试，完善原型课程，并制定最后8个课程的详细大纲。这些第一阶段的任务将被完成，以证明商业和技术的可行性，以及奠定基础工作的全面发展和评估该计划在第二阶段。鉴于有大量的青年服务组织参与以社区为基础的预防未成年人饮酒的工作，PMAF的商业潜力很大。（1或2句话-相关性）该项目有可能促进未成年青年的健康和福祉，提高社区采用综合战略的能力，并使青年作为利益攸关方参与减少未成年饮酒和相关问题的进程。通过制定和测试有针对性的预防方法，将对预防科学做出贡献，该方法有可能应用于其他高风险行为的预防干预。 公共卫生关系：该项目有可能促进未成年青年的健康和福祉，提高社区采用综合战略的能力，并使青年作为利益攸关方参与减少未成年饮酒和相关问题的进程。通过开发和测试有针对性的预防方法，将对预防科学做出贡献，该方法有可能应用于其他高危行为的预防干预措施。
