Item Adolescent Exit Interview Guide: K01 (Spanish version)(2018) Morales-Campos, DaisyThere is a critical need to understand why there is less than optimal uptake of the HPV vaccine among Hispanic girls along the Texas-Mexico border, despite the high cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates for Hispanic women in this area. The purpose of this research was to understand the determinants for parental intentions and acceptance of HPV vaccination and factors influencing provider's intention to recommend vaccination.Item American Identity Measure: CAPAS (Spanish version)(2015) Parra-Cardona, RubenLatinx populations in the United States (US) continue to be seriously impacted by persistent health disparities. According to the 2018 Monitoring the Future Study, Latinx adolescents had the highest rates of use of most illicit drugs compared to other ethnic groups. When considering differential risks among Latinxs, US-born youth in low-income first-generation families are at high risk for experiencing poverty, discrimination, and barriers to access services. These adolescents can also be exposed to deleterious parent-youth cultural conflicts, which may increase their risk for behavioral problems, including the use of alcohol and other drugs. Contextual stressors also have a negative impact the quality of parenting practices of immigrant parents, with associated deleterious consequences for their adolescent children. Although parent training (PT) interventions constitute the gold standard for strengthening parenting practices that are effective protective factors in the lives of adolescents, the availability of efficacious culturally adapted PT interventions in underserved Latinx communities remains scarce throughout the US. Thus, there is an urgent need in the implementation science (IS) field to identify implementation strategies aimed at addressing service gaps affecting Latinx populations. The research aims of this R34 investigation are: (a) To implement a pilot study aimed at refining a culturally adapted version of the evidence-based intervention known as GenerationPMTO© (i.e., CAPAS-Youth), adapted for Latinx immigrant families with adolescent children, (b) to implement a randomized controlled trial, aimed at empirically testing the efficacy of the CAPAS-Youth intervention with first-generation low-income Latinx families in Travis County, (c) to measure barriers and facilitators associated with the implementation of the CAPAS-Youth prevention intervention in the target context, and (d) to measure relevant implementation outcomes to inform a future R01 effectiveness trial. Implementing efficacious prevention initiatives in faith-based organizations constitutes a key alternative to address service barriers experienced by underserved populations. We also propose that by training lay members of target communities as prevention interventionists, the sustainment of prevention programs can be greatly enhanced. This investigation has relevance as we focus on a population that remains understudied in the IS field. The investigation has high public health relevance as it is responsive to Goals 2 and 4 of NIDA’s strategic plan, aimed at “addressing health disparities experienced by populations not adequately served by existing systems of care.”Item Adolescent Exit Interview Guide: K01(2018-08) Morales-Campos, DaisyThere is a critical need to understand why there is less than optimal uptake of the HPV vaccine among Hispanic girls along the Texas-Mexico border, despite the high cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates for Hispanic women in this area.
