Unidos Against ATOD Use Intervention Trial

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Substance Use

In brief

Adolescent alcohol tobacco and drug (ATOD) use is a major public health concern, with rates for Latino middle school youth higher than other ethnic groups. One well-established precursor of adolescent ATOD use is psychosocial stress. The proposed project examines the preliminary efficacy of Unidos to decrease ATOD use among Latino youth in new settlement areas. The goals of this efficacy trial will be achieved by accomplishing two specific aims: (1) Evaluate the potential of the intervention to delay the initiation into or reduce ATOD use among Latino youth who are 1st to 2nd generation immigrants; and (2) Evaluate the intervention's ability to strengthen known protective factors against ATOD use among adolescents-specifically child personal agency and parent-child, peer, and school relationships. The study's primary hypothesis is: The Unidos Se Puede program will delay initiation of ATOD use of current non-users and reduce use among current users.
