Children of color in the United States are more likely to live in inner-city communities with high rates of community violence and be from socio-economically stressed families with high rates of substance abuse domestic violence. Further, these children have higher rates of abuse and bereavement related to traumatic events (i.e., traumatic bereavement). The mental health correlates of abuse and traumatic bereavement can be severe. Nevertheless, children of color have less access to mental health care and, as a result, are less likely to receive trauma focused, evidence-based services. Community PARTNERS for Promoting Evidence-Based Trauma Services (Community PARTNERS) is a National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) Community Services and Treatment Center designed to develop and sustain a community-wide network providers who are trained in and implementing trauma-informed, evidence based services. The goal is to train primary care personnel to use trauma-informed, evidence-based services and provide these services with underserved, inner city, traumatized children from the most diverse communities in the United States, Queens and Eastern Brooklyn children.Each year, approximately 29,200 children will be screened and 1,505 abused and/or bereaved children will receive assessment and treatment services. The traumafocused, evidence-based services and cultural adaptations will be informed by: (1) the Community and Consumer Advisory Board, consisting of Community PARTNERS staff, consumers of trauma services, and staff from community agencies/systems that serve traumatized children of Latin, African/Caribbean, and Asian decent.

Project Chai will address the unmet needs of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and their children aged 60 and older, who live in three sections of Brooklyn that have heavy concentrations of Holocaust survivors. The project’s objectives are to strengthen the infrastructure governing the provision of services to this population and to enhance the outreach, engagement, and referral services to isolated, withdrawn Holocaust survivors and their aging children. The goals will be achieved by creating a Project Advisory Board comprised primarily of Holocaust survivors and empowered to monitor the formation of a formal provider network of mental health, health care, and social service agencies with specific agency roles and responsibilities. The enhancement of the outreach services will be achieved by the application of ACT team principles using staff recruited from the diverse communities of Holocaust survivors and trained to assess PTSD and depression. Nachas Health and Family Network, with its staff totally recruited from the communities it serves, has worked since its inception in 1990 with the aging survivor population and is ideally suited to this project. The Nachas staff reflects the diversity of the Holocaust survivor community from the most secular to the most religious and communicates with this population in the variety of languages spoken by its clients. Additionally, Nachas has the support of the different provider agencies with which it partners to ensure appropriate treatment of each client’s needs. The Project Advisory Body, with a core of Holocaust survivors, will serve as Project Chai’s oversight and monitoring agency. The proposed Nachas ACT team will, with its enhanced skill sets, be able to reach out more effectively and engage the isolated and withdrawn Holocaust survivor. With increased assessment skills, the team will make timely, accessible referrals to mental health, healthcare, and social service agencies.

Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
In response to the growing issues related to depression and substance abuse, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will enhance existing programs and add several novel approaches, which will benefit the target population. Rensselaer has designed a program to develop training programs for students and campus personnel, create an on-campus network, develop and implement educational seminars, promote linkage to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, prepare informational material and prepare educational material for families. It is expected that the evaluation will show that Rensselaer students will experience fewer mental and behavioral health problems each year that the comprehensive program exists. Two key items are an institutional assessment and the need to develop a Crisis Response Plan. The Jed Foundation was contacted and they, along with consultant Dr. Mon Silverman, will perform the assessment. It is hoped that the assessment report, along with the evaluation efforts of this project, will allow Rensselaer to create an innovative new strategy for suicide prevention. Additionally Rensselaer will create, disseminate and then practice a Crisis Response Plan. Additionally, we plan to enhance existing services and improve access to care by contracting with a psychiatrist one day a week. Finally, this project will allow Rensselaer to fully take advantage of the data that is gathered, by expanding the analysis to focus specifically on depression and academic success.

Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2007
This proposed Adolescents at Risk project will be conducted as an extension of an ongoing NIMH-funded randomized trial in the Cobb County School District now being conducted to test whether a gatekeeper-training program for school staff increases school referrals of students at risk for suicide.QPR teaches school staff about warning signs and risk factors for suicide among youth and steps for effective referrals of at-risk students.Based on existing data and projections into the next two years, we expect that 435 high school students have or will be identified by the school as needing crisis intervention for concerns about suicidal ideation/behavior. A stratified random sample of 50 Hispanic, 50 African-American, and 50 White/Non-Hispanic youths will be selected from this population. Parents and youths will be interviewed at entry and 6 to 9 months later to assess characteristics of youths, levels of treatment received, satisfaction and attitudes about treatment, and their functioning over time, including the proportion who demonstrate improved functioning versus continued suicidal ideation/behavior and poor functioning. In Project Year 02 we will conduct focus groups with parents, youths, school staff, and mental health providers to provide perspectives on barriers and opportunities to link at-risk youths more successfully with mental health treatment.

Following the CNA and capacity-building phases, ASC will develop a written Strategic Plan outlining how ASC will provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services based on the needs identified in the CNA. Though the final determination of services to be implemented will arise from the CNA and strategic planning process.

The William F. Ryan Community Health Center and its satellite, Ryan-NENA, propose to develop and expand existing HIV services to include effective, integrated, sustainable substance abuse, HIV, and hepatitis prevention services, and provide age/developmentally appropriate gender-specific, culturally and linguistically competent services. The Program will target at risk individuals in lower and northern Manhattan. The Centers' service areas are comprised of a large number of ethnic/racial minorities ho are disproportionately affected by substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis. To effectively combat this, the Minority Substance Abuse (SA), HIV, and Hepatitis Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Program will assist Ryan and Ryan-NENA to develop and expand services to include effective, integrated, sustainable substance abuse, HIV, and Hepatitis prevention services. The age/developmentally appropriate, gender-specific, culturally and linguistically competent services are designed to be accessible to, and appropriate for, the target populations, including homeless individuals, individuals who exchange sex for money and drugs (ESMD), individuals and/or partners of individuals reentering the community from correctional facilities, injection drug users (IDUs), men who have sex with men (MSMs), and immigrants from countries with high HIV seroprevalence rates. The goal of the Program is to positively change substance abuse, HIV, and hepatitis-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors among the target population. Based on a highly structured Program and supported by behavioral scientific evidence of the Health Belief Model, the Trans-theoretical Model of Change (TTM), and the Social Cognitive Theory, Program staff, along with staff from collaborating organizations, will provide Targeted and Intensive Outreach, Individual-Level Interventions (ILI), Group-Level Interventions (GLI), and Supportive Services.

Over the past 20 years, HI V/AIDS has taken a greater toll in New York City than in any other location in North America. The Osborne Association in partnership with the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center AIDS Program will lead a community-wide effort in the Bronx, NY to strengthen the prevention services system for substance abuse, HI V/AIDS and hepatitis. The project will target improved prevention services for minority and reentry populations. The Bronx, one of five boroughs in New York City, has a predominantly Latino and African American minority population, a high incidence of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis, as well as a large proportion of individuals who are or have been involved with the criminal justice system. The applicants request $350,000 per year to implement the five-year project. The project will create a Prevention Service Team (PST) of 12-15 members that is broadly representative of the diverse ethnic populations, constituency groups and key stakeholders in the Bronx. The project partners, along with the PST, will implement SAMHSA's five-step Strategic Prevention Framework. First the project will develop a comprehensive needs assessment for prevention services. The project will mobilize and build capacity by seeking to involve new agencies, create new linkages, and build partnerships specifically focused on prevention tasks. Based on the needs assessment and using a community planning process, the project will develop a strategic plan to increase prevention service capacity focused on minority and reentry populations in the Bronx. The project will implement evidence-based prevention programs and develop infrastructure in two phases, with some core prevention services being initiated during the first year and additional services being phased in during the second and third years based on the needs assessment and strategic plan.

Under the auspices of Inwood Community Service, Inc., (ICS) UNIDOS Inwood Coalition is proposing a Prevention Planning Initiative to decrease risk for substance abuse and concomitant HIV exposure. Using the science-based Communities that Care® Model, UNIDOS will enlist 28 members in capacity building, conducting a needs assessment, and creating prevention strategies that will be effective in Inwood, New York City. Inwood is a predominantly Hispanic community on the northern tip of Manhattan. Risk factors for pursuing maladaptive lifestyles are pervasive. Drug trafficking, which is directly linked to the risk for drug involvement is serious enough as to have attracted the attention of the Federal New York/New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force. The goals and proposed actions are as follows: UNIDOS will strengthen the Coalition by formalizing policies and expanding the membership. Thereafter, a needs assessment will be conducted by trained Coalition members. Using the needs assessment, an Archival Data Report will be generated. The Coalition will analyze the data and formulate a Youth Development Plan, which will identify science-based prevention models that will build on Inwoods protective factors and decrease the risk for youth 9-15 years of age of becoming substance-involved. The prevention planning initiative will be evaluated using surveys and focus groups that will enable us to address process and outcomes. We will disseminate all data from the initiative to local politicians, all the Coalition members, and the community

The Special Treatment and Research (STAR) Program of State University of New York Downstate Medical Center (SUNY -DMC) (d/b/a The Research Foundation of SUNY), proposes to conduct the Minority Substance Abuse, HIV, & Hepatitis Strategic Prevention Framework Project, in collaboration with 2 substance abuse prevention/treatment and one reentry service provider, to target Black adult and reentry populations in Brooklyn, NY, which has high prevalence of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis. Women will be a special focus, given their special needs and SUNY -DMC's clinical and research expertise on women. Brooklyn has 35,970 adults with AIDS, 707 children with AIDS, and the highest number of AIDS deaths in NYC (724 or 30.1%). Central Brooklyn (including Bedford-Stuyvesant/Crown Heights, Brownsville, East New York, East Flatbush/Flatbush, Williamsburg/Bushwick, and Canarsie/Flatlands) accounts for the majority of Brooklyn's AIDS cases. The AIDS case rate for the reentry population is unknown, but the NYS prison system has the highest number of HIV + inmates nationwide (5000+), a high percentage of which reside in and return to NYC upon release. HIV/AIDS is associated with substance abuse both directly (via IDU) and indirectly (lack of inhibition of sexual behavior), explaining in part the high prevalence among prisoners. Brooklyn also accounted for nearly one-third of NYC's new HIV cases in 2003, and had the highest percentage citywide made concurrently with an AIDS diagnosis (32.9%). Nearly 1/3 of Brooklyn's AIDS diagnoses are attributable to IDU, and substance use fuels the spread of HIV and other STD by contributing to risky sexual behavior. Due to shared modes of transmission, hepatitis is common among PLWHA and those at risk. Brooklyn had NYC's highest number of hepatitis A and B cases in 2004.

The peer-based Medication Assisted Recovery Services (MARS) Project will be developed and implemented by NAMA, to provide peer-to-peer recovery support services to patients of AECOM's Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs. The overall goals are to: design, implement, and evaluate selected peer-to-peer recovery services (that complement rather than replace existing treatment and ancillary services) in order to expand access to recovery support services; create a climate for recovery among a population usually neglected by the larger recovery community; and give patients the tools of knowledge of their treatment and personal empowerment to be able to be more effective facilitators of their own recovery. The MARS Project will provide recovery support groups in various culturally appropriate areas of importance as revealed to NAMA in our communication with AECOM's patients and MAT advocates nationwide. A peer council of patients using the services will provide both training in leadership and communications skills. Participants will provide feedback and input regarding the direction of the project. Peer leaders will be recruited and trained to take an active role in the delivery of services.
