DRUG USE PREVENTION PROGRAMMING IN CONTINUATION SCHOOLS

这种竞争性的连续补助金将允许以下高风险 人口（续高中青年）进入青年期。 这些受试者在第一次（“父母”） 该项目为期18.5年。 他们在四年结束时的平均年龄 更新时间为22.5年。 三个核心目标将完成 在这四年的时间里。 首先，我们将研究 在我们的延续高中队列中， 父母补助金，包括自我报告寿命的变化， 当前使用（过去30天内使用的频率）香烟， 酒精，大麻，和毒品 此外，我们将研究 吸毒与人口、社会环境 以及感知到的人际和个人内部变量， 这些变量作为问题预测因素的相对重要性 在这一高风险队列中的年轻成年人中使用。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 我们将研究青少年药物滥用的发展情况， 和依赖，通过自我报告来衡量;我们将 研究年轻人吸毒的其他后果， 包括学校和工作满意度，公共援助需求，婚姻 和父母身份，与药物滥用者生活在一起，安全驾驶， 吸毒，意外伤害或逮捕和吸毒，以及帮派 成员资格、抑郁、暴力和吸毒。 第二，在第一年 我们会研究以下措施的成效： 更彻底的药物滥用预防方案拟订（12节课）， 继续高中，对香烟，酒精，大麻，和 严重吸毒 一个健康教育者提供的计划将是 与自学程序相比（通常在 续读高中;健康教育工作者协助）与 标准护理条件下，在三个条件的随机设计（n- 18所学校），并进行为期三年的随访，其中包括助推器 编程. 此外，开始第二年的更新，一个记忆 可访问性模型将用于六组设计，以评估 一种新型的助推器的承诺与这个新的群体。 既 评估这一助推器方案规划的直接影响 存储器可访问性，以及利用设计来评估更长的时间- 长期影响（超过两年），将实施。

This competing continuation grant will permit following a high risk population (continuation high school youth) into young adulthood. The average age of these subjects at the end of the first ("parent") project is 18.5 years. Their average age at the end of the four-year renewal will be 22.5 years. Three central aims will be completed over this four-year time period. First, we will examine changes in drug use behavior among our continuation high school cohort from the parent grant, including changes in self-reported lifetime and current use (frequency of use in the last 30 days) of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and hard drugs. Further, we will examine the longitudinal relations of drug use with demographic, social milieu, and perceived interpersonal and intrapersonal variables, to discern the relative importance of these variables as predictors of problem use in young adulthood among this high risk cohort. In addition, we will examine the development of young adult substance abuse and dependence, as measured through self-reports; and we will examine other consequences of drug use in young adulthood, including school and job satisfaction, need of public aid, marital and parental status, living with substance abusers, safe driving and drug use, accidental injuries or arrests and drug use, and gang membership, depression, violence and drug use. Second, in Year 1 of the renewal, we will examine the efficacy and effectiveness of more thorough drug abuse prevention programming (12 lessons), at continuation high schools, on cigarette, alcohol, marijuana, and hard drug use. A health educator-delivered program will be compared to a self-instruction program (usually delivered in continuation high schools; health educator assisted) versus a standard care condition, in a three-condition randomized design (n- 18 schools), with a three-year follow up that includes booster programming. Also, beginning Year 2 of the renewal, a memory accessibility model will be utilized in a six-group design to assess promise of a novel type of booster with this new cohort. Both a design to assess immediate effects of this booster programming on memory accessibility, and utilization of a design to assess longer- term effects (over two additional years), will implemented.
