 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The arrest rate for adolescent girls has risen 80% in the last twenty years and prevention approaches for adolescent girls that incorporate evidence-based principles of prevention along with girl-salient risk are badly needed. Research points to the importance of considering the conjoint effect of childhood victimization, internalizing distres and behavioral dysregulation as unique factors in the development of girls' delinquency, substance use and risky sexual behavior. However, very few programs currently exist to address these specific needs. Those that do exist address a more severe population and require considerable financial resources to implement. This R21 proposal will test the feasibility and effectiveness of a program for justice- involved girls at risk of escalating delinquency and substance use that is located within the juvenile court and uses innovative technology for parent engagement. Locating services within the court achieves cost savings and can promote more efficient services if done well. The program will use, as a foundation, cognitive- behavioral and moral reasoning principles found to be effective for at risk youth populations for delinquency and substance use reduction. This program will heighten the emphasis on emotional and cognitive restructuring as well as social problem-solving. Four key areas relevant to girl-salient prevention will be added: 1) Strategies for managing distressing internalizing symptoms; 2) Inclusion of relationship-based scenarios for skill generalization; 3) Expansion of cognitive restructuring strategies to include self-worth and risky interpersonal relationships; and 4) Parent engagement and skill-building through the application of research proven strategies for both in person and text-based support. Evaluation will include analysis of implementation feasibility as well as youth and parent-level outcomes.

 描述（由申请人提供）：过去 20 年来，青春期女孩的被捕率上升了 80%，迫切需要针对青春期女孩的预防方法，将基于证据的预防原则与女孩的显着风险结合起来。研究指出，必须考虑儿童受害、内在痛苦和行为失调的共同影响，将其视为女孩犯罪、药物滥用和危险性行为发展的独特因素。然而，目前很少有程序可以满足这些特定需求。那些确实存在的方案针对的是更严重的人群，并且需要大量的财政资源来实施。这项 R21 提案将测试一项针对面临犯罪和药物滥用风险升级的司法女孩的项目的可行性和有效性，该项目位于少年法庭内，并使用创新技术促进家长参与。将服务安排在法院内可以节省成本，如果做得好，还可以促进更高效的服务。该计划将使用认知行为和道德推理原则作为基础，这些原则对青少年犯罪和减少药物使用的风险有效。该计划将加强对情感和认知重建以及社会问题解决的重视。与女童突出预防相关的四个关键领域 将添加：1）管理令人痛苦的内化症状的策略； 2）包含基于关系的场景以进行技能泛化； 3）扩大认知重建策略，将自我价值和危险的人际关系纳入其中； 4) 通过应用经研究证明的面对面和文本支持策略来提高家长参与度和技能培养。评估将包括实施可行性分析以及青年 和家长层面的成果。
