DRUG USE PREVENTION PROGRAMMING IN CONTINUATION SCHOOLS

这项相互竞争的延续拨款将允许在面临高风险后 人口(续高中青年)进入青壮年。 这些受试者在第一次实验结束时的平均年龄(“父母”) 项目时间为18.5年。他们在四年期末的平均年龄 续期为22.5年。将实现三个主要目标 在这四年的时间里。首先，我们将研究在 我们高中进修队列中的吸毒行为 父母补助金，包括自我报告寿命的变化和 香烟的当前使用情况(过去30天内的使用频率)， 酒精、大麻和硬性毒品。此外，我们将研究 吸毒与人口、社会环境、 以及感知的人际和个人内部变量，以辨别 这些变量作为问题预测者的相对重要性 在这一高危人群中用于青年时期。此外, 我们将研究青少年药物滥用的发展。 和依赖，通过自我报告来衡量；我们将 研究青少年吸毒的其他后果， 包括学校和工作满意度、对公共援助的需求、婚姻 和父母地位，与药物滥用者一起生活，安全驾驶和 吸毒、意外伤害或逮捕、吸毒和帮派 会员身份、抑郁、暴力和吸毒。第二，在第一年 在更新方面，我们会研究 更彻底的药物滥用预防方案拟订(12课)，见 补习高中，关于香烟、酒精、大麻和 硬吸食毒品。一个由健康教育者提供的项目将是 与自我指导计划相比(通常在 补习高中；健康教育者协助)与 标准护理条件，在三条件随机设计中(n- 18所学校)，为期三年的跟踪调查，其中包括助推器 编程。此外，从第二年的更新开始，一个记忆 将在六组设计中使用可访问性模型来评估 承诺用这个新的队列制造一种新型的助推器。两者都是 设计以评估此助推器编程对 内存可访问性和设计利用率，以评估更长时间- 期限效应(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.
