DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Healthy Youth Development Prevention Research Center (UMN PRC) is to collaborate with health departments, related agencies and community partners to develop and disseminate actionable knowledge and practices that promote healthy development and health equity among all young people. Our specific aims, reflected in our unit-specific work plans, include the use of interdisciplinary research, training, community education, TA, capacity-building, strategic communications, and evaluations to build health, competence, and capacity throughout the second decade of life and beyond, and to build capacity in partners working with and on behalf of young people. Our long-term objectives focus on expansion of scientific knowledge and increased use of evidence-based public health programs that advances the national health agenda as reflected in Healthy People 2020's adolescent-focused goals (5 of 7 priority areas), promotes health equity as articulated in the National Prevention Strategy, and addresses CDC adolescent-related Winnable Battles (i.e., reproductive health). The UMN PRC core project, Partnering for Healthy Student Outcomes (PHSO) is a comparative study of the relative effectiveness of a school-based, social-emotional learning (SEL) prevention program for students attending culturally diverse, economically disadvantaged middle schools in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN metro area. Our primary research question is: Will a multi-year, school-based prevention program, infused with professional development (PD) aimed at increasing the capacity of middle school teacher teams to engage their students in learning, yield changes in middle school students' health risk behaviors and academic outcomes that exceed outcomes from a school-based student-focused prevention program alone? The research has two primary aims: Primary Aim 1: Conduct a pilot study to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a school-based, SEL+PD program (Positive Action plus teacher-team professional development and support) designed to reduce health risk behaviors (violence, bullying, substance use, sexual risk behaviors) and increase academic achievement among middle school students; and Primary Aim 2: Implement a SEL plus teacher-team professional development program and evaluate its effectiveness on student outcomes compared to a SEL program alone. We will evaluate the two conditions in a matched pairs, randomized trial involving approximately 840 students in 4 urban middle level schools across 3 school years.

描述（由申请人提供）：健康青年发展预防研究中心（UMN PRC）的使命是与卫生部门、相关机构和社区合作伙伴合作，开发和传播可操作的知识和实践，促进所有年轻人的健康发展和健康公平。我们的具体目标，反映在我们的单位具体的工作计划，包括使用跨学科的研究，培训，社区教育，技术援助，能力建设，战略沟通和评估，以建立健康，能力，并在整个生命的第二个十年及以后的能力，并建立与年轻人合作并代表年轻人的合作伙伴的能力。我们的长期目标侧重于扩大科学知识和更多地使用循证公共卫生计划，以推进国家卫生议程，如《健康人民2020》以健康为重点的目标（7个优先领域中的5个）所反映的那样，促进《国家预防战略》中所阐述的健康公平，并解决与疾病预防控制中心健康相关的打赢战役（即，生殖健康）。 UMN PRC的核心项目，为健康的学生成果（PHSO）的合作伙伴关系是一个比较研究的相对有效性的学校为基础的，社会情感学习（SEL）的预防计划，学生参加文化多样性，经济上处于不利地位的中学在明尼阿波利斯-圣保罗，明尼苏达州都会区。我们的主要研究问题是：将一个多年的，以学校为基础的预防计划，注入专业发展（PD），旨在提高能力的中学教师团队，让他们的学生在学习中，收益的变化，中学生的健康风险行为和学术成果，超过结果从以学校为基础的学生为中心的预防计划单独？本研究有两个主要目的：主要目的1：进行试点研究，以确定以学校为基础的SEL+PD计划的可行性和可接受性（积极行动加上教师团队专业发展和支持），旨在减少健康风险行为（暴力、欺凌、药物使用、性风险行为）并提高中学生的学业成绩;和主要目标2：实施SEL加教师团队专业发展计划，并评估其对学生成绩的有效性相比，单独的SEL计划。 我们将在一项配对的随机试验中评估这两种情况，该试验涉及4所城市中学的约840名学生，为期3个学年。
