A Family-Based Alcohol Preventive Intervention for Latino Emerging Adults

 描述（由申请人提供）：在拟议的研究中，我们将开发和试点测试一个以家庭为基础的未成年人饮酒预防计划，为拉丁美洲新兴的成年人。该方案将包括一个育儿组成部分，将提供给新兴成人的父母，和一个身份发展组成部分，将提供给新兴成人她/他自己。该项目将分为三个阶段：（1）制定干预措施组成部分（包括编写干预措施手册初稿）;（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。所有这三个步骤将在迈阿密戴德县，佛罗里达和莱恩县，俄勒冈州进行。将通过调整对青少年使用的有效育儿策略来开发育儿部分，以便这些活动适合初成年人的父母。将通过整合已成功用于青少年和新生成年人的基于身份的干预战略，开发身份发展部分，再次确保这些战略适合发展。在两个非常不同的背景下（城市与农村）和拉丁裔亚群（主要是古巴人，哥伦比亚人和哥伦比亚人在佛罗里达与主要是墨西哥人在俄勒冈州）开发，改进和试点测试干预将允许我们检查我们提出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.
