DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION TOOL KIT FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS

该项目将展示基于社区的预防的可行性。 模块。这项干预将针对四名预测药物的调解人 使用开始：(1)理想，(2)规范信仰，(3)亲社会纽带，以及 (4)个人承诺。干预措施将打包以供 社区团体(娱乐中心、教堂团体和团体，如 41-I俱乐部和女孩和男孩童子军)。这些组目前无法访问 以研究为基础的预防方法，其形式适合这些 组织的设置。这个项目将是一个合作的努力， 将涉及内布拉斯加州委员会，一个拥有广泛社区基础的组织 计划体验。在L阶段，将开发节目素材。 材料将允许计划交付的灵活性，以便社区 团体可以在正常范围内完成药物使用预防目标 框架。L阶段将包括(1)社区计划调查 两个州(内布拉斯加州和北卡罗来纳州)的供应商评估计划 可行性和(2)准试验性先导研究，其中 预计将成为该计划最终用户的典型用户将 参与进来。该计划对关键中介变量的影响将是 评估过了。社区计划负责人和青少年将被评估 他们对该计划的满意程度。 建议的商业应用： 许多吸毒和酗酒的高危青年属于或 可以被教堂、服务俱乐部和体育运动等团体联系到 团队。基于研究的项目在这些项目中的传播有限 组。我们预计包装成工具箱的材料，带有 关于如何使用每种工具的说明将具有广泛的潜力 吸引这些群体。

This project will demonstrate the viability of community-based prevention modules. The intervention will address four mediators that predict drug use onset: (1) ideals, (2) normative beliefs, (3) prosocial bonding, and (4) personal commitments. The intervention will be packaged for use by community groups (recreation centers, church groups, and groups such as 41-I Clubs and Girl and Boy Scouts). These groups currently lack access to research-based approaches to prevention in a format that fits these organizations' settings. This project will be a collaborative effort that will involve the Nebraska Council, a group with extensive community-based program experience. During Phase l, program materials will be developed. Materials will allow flexibility in program delivery so that community groups can accomplish drug use prevention goals within their normal framework. Phase l will include (1) a survey of community program providers in two states (Nebraska and North Carolina) to assess program feasibility and (2) a quasi-experimental pilot study in which groups typical of those expected to be ultimate users of the program will participate. The impact of the program on key mediating variables will be assessed. Community program leaders and teens will be assessed regarding their satisfaction with the program. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Many youths at-risk for experimenting with drugs and alcohol belong to or can be reached by groups such as churches, service clubs, and sports teams. Research-based programs have limited dissemination among these groups. We anticipate that materials packaged as a tool box, with instructions about how each tool can be used will have a broad potential appeal to these groups.
