CMHS Grant Children's Mental Health
Services
To improve the clinical effectiveness and cost
efficiency of treating adolescent depression by school-based
mental health professionals working in school-based general
health care clinics in a poor urban area. This will be
accomplished by training school-based mental health
professionals in interpersonal psychotherapy for depressed
adolescents (IPT-A, a brief, guideline-based treatment with
established efficacy, focusing on reducing symptoms and
addressing interpersonal problems associated with the onset of
depression). This treatment will be compared to treatment as
usual by school-based mental health professionals. The
project, if successful, could improve adolescents’ access to
effective mental health services. |

NIAAA Project Disadvantaged
Youth and Alcohol Abuse Prevention
This study will develop and test intervention strategies to
prevent alcohol and other substance abuse among high-risk
youth. The study's alcohol and other substance abuse
prevention strategy includes skills and interventions that
will engage groups of high-risk youths in community settings,
parent-enhanced skills intervention that will help family
members sustain youths' risk reduction efforts. By engaging
parents in the skills-based intervention, the prevention
protocol will tap natural resources in youths' environments to
nurture and sustain their efforts to avoid problems with
alcohol and other substance abuse.

Project Family Change Mechanisms in Adolescent Drug Use
Therapy
The ultimate objective of this small grant study is to
increase the effectiveness of family-based therapy for
adolescent drug abuse, which is building solid empirical
support as an efficacious treatment approach. This study will
be among the first to use observational methods for linking
family-focused interventions with outcome and for exploring
changes in developmentally pivotal family processes in
treatment for substance-abusing adolescents.

School participants will receive financial incentives to work
in day camps or at innovative programs of the applicant’s
local partner agencies. |

NIAAA Project Prototype
Matching for Detecting Underage Drinkers
The purpose of this research is to examine a series of factors
which relate to judgments of age and the decision to request
identification for the purchase of alcohol. This proposal is
addressed towards delaying alcohol use among young adults, and
reducing the prevalence (and subsequent alcohol-related
problems) of alcohol use by testing a decision making process
thought to prevent youthful access to alcohol.

Project Drug Use & Problem Behaviors in Minority Youth
This competing continuation application is to fund the next
wave of a long-term ongoing, longitudinal study. The
significance of this study lies in its longitudinal design
with intrapersonal and interpersonal and problem behavior data
available in depth on young adult, inner-city African
Americans and Puerto Ricans. This is the first time such
longitudinal data will be available for so large a sample in
this age group at particular risk for problem behaviors.

NIDA
Project Etiology & Consequences of Adolescent Drug Abuse
The major goals are to continue and extend research on: 1)
risk and protective factors involved in onset, stability and
change in adolescent drug use; 2) testing pathways to drug
use; 3) interactive effects of risk and protective factors;
and 4) consequences of drug use and young adult functioning.
The proposed research will expand on and extend prior research
by 1) inclusions of samples of inner city youngsters and IV
drug users; 2) comparisons of the etiologies of drug use,
delinquency, psychopathology, and sexual precocity; 3) study
of intra- and intergenerational transmission of drug-prone
characteristics; and 4) examination of factors related to AIDS
transmission behavior and to coping with AIDS. In order to
achieve these goals, an integrated program of research is
underway involving four large-scale projects.

NIDA Project Risk & Resiliency in
Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
This study will use multiple methods to describe the
population of Manhattan young men (ages 17-25) who have sex
with men; develop a venue based typology of physical settings,
social groups, and sex/drug transactions in which young men
who have sex with men (YMSM) participate; document patterns
associated with initiation into sex/drug risk-taking,
including violence and victimization in the life experience of
YMSM; compare subpopulations of YMSM on risk and protective
practices, including partner selection and sexual
transactions; and describe factors including knowledge and
attitudes, which facilitate or impede YMSM access to health
and prevention services. An initial Community Assessment
Process will identify recruitment sites, and provide a
background in the environments of YMSM. A year-long
ethnographic study will then use four open-ended interviews to
identify causes and antecedents to sex and drug risk
involvement (emphasizing childhood violence and abuse),
profile the everyday means of making a living and the risks
they imply, the social and risk networks of YMSM, and their
knowledge and use of services (including the role of stigma).

Grant
The purpose of the project is to assess the
effectiveness of the core and alternative interventions and
collect outcome data to show that PROMESA is an exemplary
adolescent treatment model for high risk, inner city, minority
youth. The evaluation will also focus on data to establish
cost effectiveness of this type of adolescent treatment
model. |

NIDA Project
Adolescent Use of Alcohol & Drug Treatment Services
Recent findings from the National Household Survey on Drug
Abuse and the Monitoring
the Future Study have shown that drug use among
adolescents has continued to climb. It is hoped that the model
developed in this project will be conformed and expanded with
future longitudinal data and will lead to more studies in this
important area, as well as providing useful information for
clinicians and policy makers, t improve service delivery for
adolescents who have alcohol and drug related problems.

Surveys
This research proposes to determine if classroom-based
sampling in urban settings introduces measurable bias when the
population of interest is adolescents. Although the study is
geographically limited to New York City, its findings will be
relevant to many inner-city school systems with high rates of
absenteeism.

NIAAA Project Development of
Alcohol Cognitions in Adolescence
The proposed research explores the emergence and evolution of
alcohol beliefs (expectancies about alcohol's effects and
about the reactions of others to drinking) in early
adolescence. The study findings will clarify the process
through which different expectancies develop and are
restructured during early adolescence, embedded within
contexts of race and ethnicity, family, peer group, and
organism. This knowledge is essential to the development of
prevention and intervention programs which more effectively
address the adolescent's unique perspective on alcohol issues.

NIAAA Project Alcohol Use
Among Hispanic, Black & White Urban Youth
As ethnic minority groups have become the target of alcohol
advertising, inner-city Hispanic and Black youth may be at
greater risk of alcohol use and deserve further attention.
This research application proposes secondary analyses to
examine the longitudinal predictors of alcohol use for
multi-ethnic youth and make ethnic comparisons among three
ethic groups (Hispanics, Blacks and Whites). Results of this
research will provide information relevant
to development of more effective alcohol prevention
approaches for these multi-ethnic urban youth.

Project Predictors of Adolescent Drug Use Among Inner City
Youth
This research is significant because it will increase our
understanding of etiology of drug use in the understudied
ethnic minority groups residing in inner-city regions. Both
cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of adolescent drug
use among inner-city adolescents will be conducted. Findings
from this research will provide information relevant to
development of more effective drug abuse prevention approaches
for multi-ethnic, inner-city populations.

This family-driven system of care for children
under age 22 with SED and their families is being developed by
the Westchester County Department of Mental Health and will
build on community-based case conferencing networks, family
support through Family Ties and the Coordinated Children’s
Services Initiative. It will include: special education,
mental health, child and family services, welfare, juvenile
justice and health care; and it will provide a broad range of
family preservation, peer support, vocational and wrap around
services. The program will be sustained beyond the grant
period through the development of a blended funding model
under the Children’s Special Needs Plan.
