DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Skills Training for Parents and Teens to Improve the Transition to High School This is a proposal to conduct a five-year experimental test of the efficacy of Boys Town's Common Sense Parenting(R) (CSP) program targeted toward a selective sample of 8th-grade students to improve the transition to high school. Both the standard program and a modified version that is supplemented with materials piloted by the Social Development Research Group from the Stepping Up to High School (SUTHS) curriculum will be evaluated. Based on social learning principles, CSP is a widely used parent-training preventive intervention that seeks to improve family management and family interactions, as well as reduce child problem behaviors. Based on the social development model, SUTHS is comprised of two family-focused sessions designed to improve the transition to high school by reducing risks for substance use, delinquency, HIV-related risky sex behavior, and school failure. The move to high school is a critical developmental transition that presents significant challenges to teens and their families, especially among students who are at-risk for school failure. The end of middle school, therefore, provides an important window of opportunity for intervention; however, few prevention programs are tailored to address the transition to high school among students who are demographically at risk for school failure. CSP and CSP+SUTHS represent promising family-based prevention programs for facilitating successful entry into high school. Eligible families will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a standard CSP program condition, a modified CSP plus SUTHS program condition, and a minimal contact control condition. This will provide a rigorous test of the standard CSP curriculum, which currently is being widely disseminated by Boys Town, while also allowing the examination of a modified version that provides potential enhancements for targeting the developmental transition from middle school to high school. Seeking to improve the transition to high school among students at risk for school failure and dropout helps fill a critical programming need and holds promise for reducing the significant costs associated with substance use and related problem behaviors.

描述(由申请者提供)：为家长和青少年提供技能培训，以改善向高中的过渡这是一项提议，对Boys City的常识育儿(R)(CSP)计划的有效性进行为期五年的实验测试，目标是从8年级学生中挑选样本，以改善向高中的过渡。将对标准课程和修改后的版本进行评估，该版本补充了社会发展研究小组从升学到高中(SuTHS)课程试行的材料。基于社会学习原则，CSP是一种广泛使用的家长培训预防性干预措施，旨在改善家庭管理和家庭互动，以及减少儿童问题行为。基于社会发展模式，SUTHS由两个以家庭为重点的课程组成，旨在通过降低药物使用、青少年犯罪、与艾滋病毒相关的危险性行为和学校失败的风险来改善向高中的过渡。升入高中是一个关键的发展转型，给青少年及其家庭带来了巨大的挑战，特别是在面临学业失败风险的学生中。因此，中学结束为干预提供了一个重要的机会之窗；然而，很少有预防方案针对那些在人口统计学上面临学业失败风险的学生过渡到高中的问题。CSP和CSP+SUTHS是促进成功进入高中的有前景的以家庭为基础的预防方案。符合条件的家庭将被随机分配到三种条件中的一种：标准CSP计划条件、修改后的CSP加SUTHS计划条件和最低接触控制条件。这将对标准的CSP课程进行严格的测试，目前该课程正由Boys City广泛传播，同时还允许审查修改后的版本，该版本为从初中到高中的发展过渡提供了潜在的增强。寻求改善学业失败和辍学风险学生向高中的过渡有助于满足关键的编程需求，并有望降低与物质使用和相关问题行为相关的显着成本。
