?Brief Intervention for Marijuana Use among Latino Youth" is a two-year research project designed to develop and test a school-based, brief intervention for marijuana using, Hispanic/Latino 10th & 11th graders. Clinical trials support the effectiveness of brief intervention with adult and older adolescent marijuana users, but these studies have been limited by insufficient ethnic/racial diversity of samples, lack of attention to non-treatment?seeking populations, no direct examination of putative mechanisms of change, and failure to account for possible reactivity-to-assessment effects. 10th & 11th grade marijuana users, more than their younger or older counterparts, are at especially high risk for developing problems with marijuana use. Hispanic/Latino adolescents report the highest prevalence of early onset marijuana use, which makes them particularly susceptible to the development of marijuana use problems. The primary goal of the study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial evaluating a school-based motivational interviewing intervention targeting marijuana use among Latino 10th & 11th graders. Participants (n = 240) will be randomly assigned to two treatment conditions: (1) brief advice and a personalized feedback report alone (BA+PFR) or (2) brief advice, a personalized feedback report, and motivational interviewing (BA+PFR+MI). Participants will be evaluated at study entry, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups. At the 6-month follow-up assessment, 15% of participants will be randomly selected for urinalysis in order to examine the correspondence between self-report and biochemical indices of substance use. We hypothesize adolescents assigned to motivational interviewing will demonstrate significantly greater reductions in marijuana use and marijuana-related negative consequences than adolescents assigned to brief advice plus personalized feedback. Additional aims are to examine (a) mechanisms of change associated with intervention response, (b) how gender, nativity, generational status, and language preference might moderate intervention response. We believe our proposed study is both significant and innovative, and represents an important next step in the development of effective, brief, and school-based interventions for adolescent marijuana users.

| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
: We were able to accomplish project goals under budget for the following reasons:
- Our project staff had extensive previous experience implementing similar types of research protocols in the Miami-Dade public schools. By being extremely efficient and productive, we were able to generate unanticipated salary savings on the project.
-We had unanticipated budget savings in the area of travel, again due to the efficiency of our project staff. By organizing their time effectively, project staff were able to accomplish project goals with fewer trips to the schools.
-Project staff were able to accomplish several of the computer programming tasks (e.g., writing code for our computerized personalized feedback report) originally assigned to consultants. In this manner, we were able to generate unanticipated savings in the area of consultant fees.
There are no additional expenses to be charged to the grant. |
