DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of our proposed project is to use a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach to develop and implement a school-based intervention focused on the needs of Somali, Latino and Hmong 9th grade youth to promote positive youth development and address key behavioral outcomes. These outcomes will be determined as part of the CBPR process but may include substance use, violence, and mental health/coping. Somali, Latino, and Hmong are the largest immigrant groups in Minnesota and comprise a large and growing proportion of children in urban public school districts. While these groups represent distinct cultures and experiences, the Somali, Latino and Hmong Partnership for Health and Wellness (SoLaHmo) have identified commonalities, including shared community values (including formal education) and assets and a shared desire for safe, healthy, strong families and communities. This application builds on preliminary work during the last two years of a partnership between SoLaHmo and the study PI, Michele Allen from the University of Minnesota. To date this partnership has used CBPR approaches to identify teacher and school culture related factors that promote school connection and PYD for Somali, Latino, and Hmong youth. This project will expand the current partnership to include among others the Saint Paul Public School District, in order to develop and implement an intervention based on formative data. The aims of the current application are to Aim 1: Build a collaborative process with representatives of youth, parents, schools, community organizations, and the Saint Paul School District to direct the project to identify key perspectives not yet included in the asset/need assessment, and direct collection of that data; Aim 2: Engage individuals representing a broad array of community, research, and school perspectives in a concept mapping approach that draws on formative qualitative work to develop key components and approaches of an intervention to promote PYD among middle or high school age Latino, Somali, and Hmong youth and identify key youth behavioral outcomes of focus; Aim 3: Pilot the intervention designed through Aims 1 and 2 in one or two high school in St. Paul during grant years 2 and 3.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出的项目的目标是使用基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）的方法来开发和实施以学校为基础的干预措施，重点是索马里，拉丁美洲和苗族9年级青年的需求，以促进积极的青年发展和解决关键的行为结果。这些结果将作为CBPR过程的一部分确定，但可能包括物质使用，暴力和心理健康/应对。索马里人、拉丁美洲人和苗族人是明尼苏达州最大的移民群体，在城市公立学区的儿童中占很大比例，而且比例还在不断增长。虽然这些群体代表着不同的文化和经历，但索马里、拉丁美洲和苗族卫生和健康伙伴关系（SoLaHmo）确定了共同点，包括共同的社区价值观（包括正规教育）和资产，以及对安全、健康、强大的家庭和社区的共同愿望。该应用程序建立在SoLaHmo和研究PI（来自明尼苏达大学的Michele艾伦）之间过去两年合作的初步工作基础上。到目前为止，这种伙伴关系已经使用CBPR方法来确定教师和学校文化相关的因素，促进索马里，拉丁美洲和苗族青年的学校连接和PYD。该项目将扩大目前的伙伴关系，除其他外，将圣保罗公立学区包括在内，以便根据形成性数据制定和实施干预措施。当前应用程序的目标是目标1：与青年、家长、学校、社区组织和圣保罗学区的代表建立一个协作过程，指导项目确定资产/需求评估中尚未包括的关键观点，并直接收集这些数据;目标2：让代表广泛的社区、研究、以概念图的方式，从学校的角度，利用形成性的定性工作，制定促进PYD的干预措施的主要组成部分和方法，目标3：在赠款年2和3期间，在圣保罗的一所或两所高中试行通过目标1和2设计的干预措施。
