Development of Community Kit for Alcohol Prevention

描述(由调查员提供)：该项目将发展健康 阿巴拉契亚社区酒精预防工具包的教材。 材料将反映阿巴拉契亚独特的文化。该套件将包含 适合阿巴拉契亚地区预防需要的三个组成部分 11-13岁、14-16岁和17-18岁的年轻人。阿巴拉契亚很重要：有一个在 居住在那里的12名美国人，该地区的人口相当于所有人口的总和 1990年人口普查中的拉美裔美国人。尽管阿巴拉契亚地区拥有重要的法律地位 以及社会对酒精使用的阻碍，酒精滥用在那里很常见。 然而，该地区缺乏适合酿酒的文化材料。 预防。依靠健全的预防科学，公司寻求发展 使用阿巴拉契亚家庭中妇女的核心作用的材料 接入点。工作人员在第一阶段展示了这种方法的可行性。 工作人员将领导各自发展部门成员的重点小组 了解母亲和年轻人对酒精预防的反应。基座 根据调查结果，工作人员将为套件的组件开发材料。什么时候 所有组件都完成了，工作人员将测试公司关于 通过前测/后测实验验证该方法的有效性。然后我们就会 在拨款结束前完成试剂盒的制作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): This project will develop health education materials for an Appalachian Community Kit for Alcohol Prevention. Materials will reflect the unique culture of Appalachia. The Kit will contain three components developmentally suited to the prevention needs of Appalachian youth aged 11 - 13, 14 - 16, and 17 - 18. Appalachia is important: With one in 12 Americans living there, the region has a population equal to that of all Latino Americans at the 1990 census. Though Appalachia has significant legal and social impediments to alcohol use, alcohol abuse there is common. Nevertheless, the region lacks culturally appropriate materials for alcohol prevention. Relying on sound prevention science, the firm seeks to develop materials that use the focal role of women in the Appalachian family as the access point. Staff demonstrated the feasibility of this approach in Phase I. Staff will conduct focus groups of members of the respective developmental ranges to understand how mothers and youth react to alcohol prevention. Based on findings, staff will develop materials for the components of the Kit. When all components are completed, staff will test the firm's hypothesis about the efficacy of the approach with a pre-test/post-test experiment. We then will finalize the kit by the grant's end.
