DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching objective of the proposed research is to pilot test a newly developed observational coding instrument for study sequences of therapist-family interaction in sessions of Functional Family Therapy for adolescent drug abuse. The name of the instrument is the Functional Family Therapy Coding and Rating Scale (FFT CARS). The FFT CARS has undergone an initial round of pilot testing in which overall rates or proportions of specific types of therapist behavior have been studies and linked with adolescent and family outcomes. The current project would build upon and extend this pilot study of the FFT CARS by incorporating observational codes pertaining to the behavior of the family members during the sessions of FFT so to allow for the examination of theoretically relevant sequences of therapist-family interaction that may predict clinical outcomes. The specific aims of the propose project are: 1. To use an established family-based observational coding system to code the behavior of family members in sessions of FFT in which the behavior of the therapists have already been coded using the FFT CARS; 2. Merge coded data on family behavior in sessions of FFT with existing coded data on therapist behavior in the same FFT sessions obtained in a prior pilot study of the FFT CARS. 3. Analyze the merged data to empirically identify sequences of therapist family interaction during sessions of FFT. 4. Model statistical linkages between certain type's in-session sequences in FFT and adolescent and family clinical outcomes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed research is designed to contribute to the development and refinement of Functional Family Therapy (FFT), a treatment of proven efficacy for adolescent substance abuse. Such clinical process-outcome studies may help to facilitate and propel the dissemination of FFT in community-based adolescent treatment settings. These advances could increase the likelihood that FFT will have a favorable impact at a public health level on drug-abuse problems of adolescents and their families.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的总体目标是对一种新开发的观察性编码工具进行试点测试，该工具用于青少年药物滥用功能性家庭治疗中治疗师-家庭互动的研究序列。该工具的名称是功能性家庭治疗编码和评定量表（FFT汽车）。FFT汽车已经进行了第一轮的试点测试，其中特定类型的治疗师行为的总体比率或比例已经被研究，并与青少年和家庭结果相关联。目前的项目将建立在FFT汽车的试点研究的基础上，并通过纳入与家庭成员在FFT期间的行为有关的观察代码来扩展该研究，以便检查可能预测临床结果的治疗师-家庭互动的理论相关序列。该项目的具体目标是：1。使用已建立的基于家庭的观察编码系统对家庭成员在FFT会话中的行为进行编码，其中治疗师的行为已经使用FFT汽车进行编码; 2.将FFT会话中关于家庭行为的编码数据与FFT汽车先前试点研究中获得的相同FFT会话中关于治疗师行为的现有编码数据合并。3.分析合并后的数据，以经验识别序列的治疗师家庭互动期间的会议FFT。4.在FFT中某些类型的会话序列与青少年和家庭临床结果之间建立模型统计联系。 公共卫生关系：拟议的研究旨在促进功能性家庭治疗（FFT）的发展和完善，这是一种对青少年药物滥用有效的治疗方法。这种临床过程-结果研究可能有助于促进和推动FFT在社区青少年治疗环境中的传播。这些进展可能会增加FFT在公共卫生层面对青少年及其家庭的药物滥用问题产生有利影响的可能性。
