 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed R34 pilot study will conduct feasibility and exploratory intervention outcome research that will lead to the development of a personalized intervention framework for early stage adolescent drug users. The study will explore putative moderators representing two theoretically distinct frameworks and determine whether they are suitable candidates for a subsequent R01 study. One moderation framework is based on risk severity (RS) as reflected by individual differences in delay discounting (DD), a form of impulsive decision making that is positively associated with escalation to more serious levels of abuse and addiction. A second more exploratory framework is based on differential sensitivity (DS) theory. The DS framework stipulates that individuals, due to specific sensitivity factors, vary in their responsiveness to environmental influence such as the influence provided by an intervention. The study will explore DS markers associated with the reward motivational system, including dopaminergic genes, the post-auricular physiological reflex and a high sensory- processing sensitivity trait. A school-agency-university partnership will collaborate in providing services to 120 adolescents (ages 13-16) who were referred to a community counseling center because of a recent alcohol and/or marijuana incident. Recruitment will select mild/moderate drug users. Participants will be randomized to one of two evidence-based drug abuse interventions. The two interventions offer the same delivery dosage but differ in terms of their mechanism of therapeutic change (i.e., degree of environmental influence). The Teen Intervene program (TI; Winters and Leitten, 2007) is a youth-focused intervention that uses motivational interviewing, goal setting, and skills training to foster the internal development of responsible decision-making with the goal of choosing attitudes and behaviors that are healthier alternatives to drug use behaviors. The Everyday Parenting program (EP; Dishion et al., 2003; 2010) is a family focused-intervention that works with parents to provide environmental scaffolding necessary to help teens gradually internalize decision-making skills that reinforce and promote healthy lifestyle alternatives to drug use. From a risk severity perspective, we anticipate individual differences in DD will account for a moderate amount of variance in intervention response with youth scoring as steep discounters requiring the more comprehensive EP to show treatment gains. We anticipate that individuals with high sensitivity values in one or all DS factors will show positive intervention effects whether randomized to either TI or EP, owing to the assumption that both TI and EP provide sufficient intervention impact for high DS youth. In contrast, youth scoring low in sensitivity factors will require the more environmentally enriched EP to show similar benefits. The aims of this R34 are to (1) assess feasibility of recruiting, assessing, and following-up enrolled youth in an intervention tril, (2) assess the ability of staff to implement TI and EP with fidelity, and (3) obtain promising data on moderator and outcome variables that will help answer the question of "what intervention works best for which youth" in a subsequent R01 study.

 描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的R34试点研究将进行可行性和探索性干预结果研究，将导致为早期青少年吸毒者开发个性化干预框架。这项研究将探索代表两个理论上不同框架的假定主持人，并确定他们是否适合随后的R01研究。一种缓和框架基于风险严重性(RS)，这反映在延迟折扣(DD)上的个体差异，DD是一种冲动决策形式，与滥用和成瘾升级到更严重的水平呈正相关。第二个更具探索性的框架是基于微分敏感度(DS)理论。DS框架规定，由于特定的敏感性因素，个人对环境影响的反应不同，例如干预提供的影响。这项研究将探索与奖励激励系统相关的DS标记，包括多巴胺能基因、耳后生理反射和高感觉处理敏感性特征。学校-机构-大学将合作为120名青少年(13-16岁)提供服务，这些青少年因最近的一次酒精和/或大麻事件而被转介到社区咨询中心。招募将选择轻度/中度吸毒者。参与者将随机接受两种循证药物滥用干预措施中的一种。这两种干预措施提供相同的分娩剂量，但在治疗变化的机制(即环境影响的程度)方面有所不同。青少年干预计划(TI；温特斯和莱顿，2007)是一项以青少年为重点的干预计划，使用激励性访谈、目标设定和技能培训来促进负责任决策的内部发展，目标是选择更健康的态度和行为来替代药物使用行为。日常育儿计划(EP；Dishion等人，2003；2010)是一项以家庭为重点的干预计划，与父母合作，提供必要的环境支架，帮助青少年逐渐内化决策技能，加强和促进健康的生活方式，以替代药物使用。从风险严重性的角度来看，我们预计DD的个体差异将解释干预反应的适度差异，青年评分作为陡峭的折扣需要更全面的EP显示治疗收益。我们预计，在一个或所有DS因素中具有高敏感值的个体，无论是随机分配到TI还是EP，都将显示出积极的干预效果，因为假设TI和EP都能为高DS青少年提供足够的干预影响。相比之下，在敏感性因素方面得分较低的年轻人将需要环境更丰富的EP表现出类似的好处。R34的目的是(1)评估在干预试验中招募、评估和跟踪被录取的青年的可行性，(2)评估工作人员忠实地执行TI和EP的能力，以及(3)获得有前景的数据 在随后的R01研究中，关于主持人和结果变量的研究将有助于回答“什么干预措施对哪个年轻人最有效”的问题。
