An Online Drug Abuse Prevention Program for Adolescent Girls
Mediation effects of a culturally generic substance use prevention program for Asian American adolescents
In this paper, we examined the mediation effects of a family-based substance use prevention program on a sample of Asian American families. These families were randomized into an intervention arm or a non-intervention control arm. Using path models, we assessed the effect of the intervention on adolescent girls' substance use outcomes at 2-year follow-up through family relationships and adolescent self-efficacy pathways. Bias-corrected bootstrapp…
Preventing Drug Abuse Among Hispanic Adolescents
Intervention research is essential to help Hispanic American adolescents avoid drug use. This article describes an intervention research program aimed at preventing drug use among these youths. Grounded in salient epidemiological data, the program is informed by bicultural competence, social learning, and motivational interviewing theories. The program, called Vamos, is aimed at the risk and protective factors as well as the cultural prerogatives…
Alcohol Use Among Asian American Adolescent Girls
Underage drinking among Asian American adolescent girls is not well understood. Based on family interaction theory, the study examined the interrelationships among acculturation variables, family relationships, girls' depressed mood, peer alcohol use, and girls' alcohol use in a sample of 130 Asian American mother-daughter dyads. The mediating role of family relationships, girls' depressed mood, and peer alcohol use on girls' drinking was also as…

Preventing Teenage Pregnancy
This paper explores the multiple dimensions of teenage pregnancy and suggests ways on how to prevent it. It reviews the contemporary historical context and the epidemiology of adolescent pregnancy, and describes past and promising approaches to its prevention. Although teenage pregnancy has long been recognized as a social problem by Americans, policymakers, and social scientists, little progress has been made to understand its social and behavio…
Assessing the Utility of the Drug Abuse Screening Test in the Workplace
The purpose of this study was to determine the utility and assess the psychometric properties of the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) in a sample of persons receiving services from an employee assistance program (EAP). Study participants (N = 176) were union members, including identified drug users and nonusers. As in other studies, the DAST was found to have a high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and item-total scale correlation. …
Tobacco Use Policies and Practices in Diverse Indian Settings
INTRODUCTION\nCigarette smoke is an equal opportunity killer. Although health data on American Indian populations are less comprehensive than desirable, it is clear that smoking-related diseases are a major cause of mortality. Because norms in the social environment are crucial in determining behaviors that lead to health or to illness, this paper reports data on policies that Indian agencies have implemented to regulate the personal use of tobac…

Reducing risk-taking behavior among vulnerable youth
The present study evaluated the effects of an interactive puppet program aimed at reducing the incidence of violence and drug abuse in a sample of 290 African-American youths. Ethnically representative puppets presented skits on problem situations that reflected the everyday realities of study youth. One condition viewed puppet skits and toured exhibits that reinforced the learning from skits; a second condition viewed skits only; and the third c…
Determinants of Intentions of Junior High School Students to Become Sexually Active and Use Condoms
The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with young adolescents' increased risk for AIDS. A multiethnic sample of 303 seventh-grade students in three schools in the greater New York area completed questionnaires assessing their basic demographic characteristics (gender and ethnicity), AIDS knowledge, substance use (cigarette smoking, alcohol use), and decision-making skills. AIDS knowledge, substance use, decision-making skills…
Group Intervention to Prevent Tobacco Use Among Native American Youth
Use rates for smoked and smokeless tobacco are rising more quickly among Native American people than among the general population. Effective preventive interventions must target variables specific to ethnic-racial cultures. This article reports findings from a culturally sensitive intervention to reduce tobacco use among Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest that used classrooms and communities as natural groups. Despite few significant resul…

Multicomponent, School-Based Strategies to Prevent HIV Infection and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among Adolescents
American adolescents are at high risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—the virus that causes AIDS—and for the acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Given the seriousness of these health problems, interventions for preventing HIV and other STD infections among adolescents are needed. Although behavioral science theories offer promise, effective interventions for preventing HIV and other STD infections have not b…

Social Work Research in Social Service Agencies
Agency-based rescarch is critical to the applied science of social work. Although the need for such research has been recognized, there are few guidelines for investigators contemplating research endeavors in social service agencies. Drawing on their experience as intervention researchers, the authors offer suggestions and caveats to help investigators anticipate and overcome barriers to conducting research in community agencies. Social workers a…

The Ecological Paradigm in Child, Youth, and Family Services
This paper identifies and explores the implications of the ecological paradigm for child, youth, and family services. Historical and theoretical roots of the "person-in-environment" configuration are examined along with recent empirical evidence that suggests the complementarity of "life skills teaching" and "social support facilitation" as elements of effective service programs for children, youths, and families. Implications are drawn for polic…
Skills intervention to prevent cigarette smoking among adolescents
Skills intervention to prevent cigarette smoking was evaluated with 689 adolescents. At 24-month follow-up, youths who received health information and skills intervention had lower intentions to smoke and less cigarette use than youths who received health information alone and youths who received no intervention. Conclusions about the effects of skills intervention are strengthened by the common preparation and random assignment of intervention l…
Coping With Daily Strain Among Pregnant and Parenting Adolescents
Pregnant and parenting adolescents and professionals identified sources of strain from daily interactions. Pregnant adolescents predicted more exposure to difficult situations and more trouble handling those situations than parenting teenagers actually experienced. Urban, suburban, and rural teenage parents differed on the type of problems and amount of strain encountered. Social supports and cognitive coping strategies were found to moderate the…

Crisis-intervention training with paraprofessionals
Effects of brief crisis-intervention training with paraprofessionals were examined by randomly assigning 41 dormitory resident assistants to one of two conditions. Participants in the first received four hours of training in knowledge and skills associated with three crisis-intervention roles: helper, behavior-change agent, and referral source; those in the second served as untrained controls. All then completed an assessment battery including kn…
