A Family-Based Alcohol Preventive Intervention for Latino Emerging Adults

 描述(由申请者提供)：在拟议的研究中，我们将为拉美裔初出茅庐的成年人开发和试点一个基于家庭的未成年饮酒预防计划。该计划将包括一个育儿部分，将交付给新兴成年人的父母，以及一个身份发展部分，将交付给新兴成年人她/他自己。该项目将分为三个阶段：(1)制定干预内容(包括编写干预手册初稿)；(2)初步试点测试和重点小组反馈(包括修改干预措施和修订手册)；(3)随机试点研究。这三个步骤都将在佛罗里达州的迈阿密-戴德县和俄勒冈州的莱恩县进行。将通过调整对青少年使用的有效的育儿战略来制定育儿部分，以便这些活动在发展上适合初出茅庐的成年人的父母。身份发展部分将通过整合已在青少年和初出茅庐的成年人中成功使用的基于身份的干预战略来制定，再次确保这些战略是适合发展的。在两个非常不同的背景(城市和农村)和拉丁裔亚群(佛罗里达州主要是古巴人、尼加拉瓜人和哥伦比亚人，而俄勒冈州主要是墨西哥人)中开发、完善和试点测试干预措施，将使我们能够检查我们提议的干预措施在多大程度上有可能在一系列背景和拉丁裔亚群中有效。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the proposed study, we will develop and pilot-test a family-based underage drinking prevention program for Latino emerging adults. The program will include a parenting component, to be delivered to the parents of the emerging adult, and an identity development component, to be delivered to the emerging adult her/himself. The project will be divided into three phases: (1) development of the intervention components (including writing first drafts of the intervention manuals); (2) initial pilot testing and focus group feedbak (including modifying the intervention and revising the manuals); and (3) a randomized pilot study. All three steps will be carried out in both Miami-Dade County, Florida, and Lane County, Oregon. The parenting component will be developed by adapting efficacious parenting strategies used with adolescents so that the activities are developmentally appropriate for parents of emerging adults. The identity development component will be developed by integrating identity-based intervention strategies that have been used successfully with adolescents and emerging adults, again ensuring that they are developmentally appropriate. Developing, refining, and pilot testing the intervention across two very different contexts (urban versus rural) and Latino subgroups (primarily Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Colombian in Florida versus primarily Mexican in Oregon) will permit us to examine the extent to which our proposed intervention has the potential to be efficacious across a range of contexts and Latino subgroups.
