The long term goal ofthis research is to develop effective and sustainable means to prevent tobacco and other substance use among Latino youth through community-based family-skills training. Though family-skills training has proven to be an effective means to prevent substance use in adolescents, few interventions have specifically targeted Latino families. Furthermore, few of these have been developed using a community based participatory research process that may increase the local relevance, appropriateness, and likelihood of sustainability of such a project. Over the last two years our partnership has engaged immigrant Latino families in a feasibility study of a evidence-informed parenting curriculum designed and conducted in collaboration with Latino families and Latino-servitig community agencies. The primary aim of the current proposed project is to evaluate the effectiveness ofthis eight session family-skills intervention directed at immigrant Latino families of middle school aged youth as delivered in partnership with eight community organizations. This study is a randomized controlled trial with a delayed treatment condition for the control group. Randomization will occur at the level ofthe family within the agencies. Specific aims are first to determine the effectiveness of this familybased intervention to reduce tobacco and other substance use intention and decrease the growth trajectory of tobacco intention in middle school aged (10-14) Latino youth utilizing a community-based randomized controlled trial. Our Secondary Aim is to assess the effect ofthe intervention on the Latino parent-youth relationship and parenting practices. Finally, our third and exploratory aim is to assess CBPR partnership, operational, and contextual factors that contribute to the successful implementation ofthe intervention at the eight community sites participating in the collaborative project. This study is innovative in a number of ways: 1) it addresses tobacco and other substance use prevention for a large and growing immigrant population in the United States; 2) we expect the proposed study to provide a model for collaborative design, implementation, and evaluation of substance use prevention interventions with diverse community agencies.

这项研究的长期目标是通过以社区为基础的家庭技能培训，制定有效和可持续的手段，防止拉丁裔青年使用烟草和其他物质。虽然家庭技能培训已被证明是防止青少年吸毒的有效手段，但很少有干预措施专门针对拉丁裔家庭。此外，其中很少是利用以社区为基础的参与性研究过程制定的，这可能会增加此类项目在当地的相关性、适当性和可持续性的可能性。在过去的两年里，我们的合作伙伴关系让拉丁裔移民家庭参与了一项可行性研究，该研究是在与美国政府合作的情况下设计和实施的
