Mi Vida Nueva (My New Life) was strategically developed to address an array of activities in building a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective substance abuse prevention and related services. Specifically, this project is a compendium of community-level domestic public and private non-profit entities collaborating in this project to prevent and reduce the onset of substance abuse and transmission of HIV and hepatitis among a traditionally Latino population reporting a high reentry rate in Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas. This area is comprised of Hidalgo, Willacy and Cameron Counties. Valley AIDS Council is the lead agency and has effectively administered multiple state and federal awards. The target populations for this project are Latinos, primarily Mexicans and Mexican Americans who are vulnerable to risk factors associated with substance abuse, HIV and hepatitis. This project will work with a primary target population to address adults who are at immediate risk due to risks associated with substance abuse; there are three tiers of target population: 1. Primary: Minority reentry populations, specifically Latinos, comprising of persons released from prison/jail within the past 90-days; 2. Secondary: People of color, specifically Latinos, at-risk for HIV, hepatitis and substance abuse in the target area according to the following compendium: o Men Who Have Sex With Men o Intravenous Drug Users and Persons Having Sex With Intravenous Drug Users o People Who Are At-Risk Due to Substance Abuse and Sex Networks; including People Who Trade Sex for Drugs 3. Tertiary: Family members and significant others of the primary and secondary populations. The purpose of Mi Vida Nueva is building a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective substance abuse prevention and related services. Specifically, the proposed project's purpose aims to formally develop a culturally tailored compendium.

It is evident that the spread (including new cases) of HIV in the United States is disproportionately high among minorities. Similarly, the substance-abuse associated AIDS cases in the African-American communities are a growing national concern. Central to the planning project of Motherland, Inc. is its commitment to reduce the incidence of substance abuse and HIV/STD infection among minorities. The focus on youth, especially within the African-American population residents in identified high-risk neighborhoods of Greater Houston Area and Harris County underscore the urgency and importance placed on information, knowledge and safer sex negotiating skills. Using drama therapy, Motherland, Inc. plans specifically to target minority youth in safe houses which encourage youth to seek help and guidance in an environment that is unthreatening and fosters self-confidence and individual initiative. It also will concentrate on juvenile probation centers where the prevention interventions provided by Motherland, Inc. can be intensive and tailored to address ongoing and identifiable risk behaviors. The ultimate outcome is risk reduction practices and prevention measures that lead to heightened awareness, personal responsibility, and behavior changes. Youth from communities of color in the Greater Houston Area and Harris County are at high risk of both substance abuse and HIV/AIDS based on their propensity to engage in high-risk behaviors. In the target populations, individual, family, peer, community, school, and community risk factors are frequently not counterbalanced by adequate protective factors. Motherland, Inc. will develop, implement, and evaluate a series of community-based drama performances that address deep issues surrounding motivators and consequences of high-risk behaviors with respect to substance abuse and sexual behaviors.

The Coastal Bend AIDS Foundation (CBAF) is a private non-profit community-based organization providing HIV prevention and support services for over 15 years. The Coastal Ben Area of Texas is comprised of 19 counties along and around the Gulf of Mexico in South Texas. Nueces County is on the Gulf of Mexico southeast of San Antonio. The county seat and largest city is Corpus Christi. The local economy is diversified through industries that include petrochemical, tourism, healthcare, retail, education, shipping, and agriculture. The median household income is less than $24,000. The goal of the RFA is to increase access to SAP and HIVP programs in areas with hard to reach populations and high incidence rates of substance abuse and HIV infection, such as rural communities, by increasing both the number of and quality prevention programs in traditionally under-served areas. The proposed project is the catalyst for integrated HIV and substance abuse prevention efforts within the targeted area. This area includes one county (Nueces) that makes up a Metropolitan Statistical Area and three rural counties (Jim Wells, Kleberg, and San Patricio). Additionally, there are an increasing number of colonias as described in Section A. These areas are traditionally found closer to the Texas Mexico border, but with the increase in security and surveillance, these immigrant colonies have begun to locate further North into the Coastal Bend areas. This type of community is difficult to reach and difficult to penetrate to provide quality prevention services. By utilizing a model where peers or promotoras (community health workers) to deliver the prevention message, these areas can be reached thereby enhancing the services provided. The project is designed to be fully sustaining at the end of the five-year grant. CBAF proposes to provide the described services for five years and is requesting approximately $350,000 annually for the five-year period.

Drug Prevention Resources, Inc. and the Community Prevention and Intervention Unit at University of Texas at Southwestern Medial Center - one of the country's leading medical and research facilities - propose to offer an integrated substance abuse and HIV intervention program for African-American and Hispanic youth in the Dallas County juvenile justice system. We have chosen two residential facilities as potential sites for the program - the Dallas County Youth Academy and the Youth Village. With its expert and population-appropriate staff, the program, Choices, will work with the community as well as the target population to determine the most appropriate curriculums in order to bolster protective factors and reverse emerging risk factors. Choices' staff will be guided by the CSAP publication, Prevention Works! A Practitioner's Guide to Achieving Outcomes. The guide provides a logical and appropriate framework for achieving prevention outcomes. The process will include the following important steps: · Assessing needs, underlying conditions, and assets; · Recruiting members of a Strategic Advisory Board to guide programmatic decision-making; · Building organizational capacity to support the program · Hiring and training culturally appropriate staff; · Selecting the best-fit science-based programs; · Planning for the implementation of the program; · Delivering the integrated substance abuse and HIV prevention program; and · Evaluating program outcomes along the way Staff will work with an accomplished evaluation team to assist them with selection, evaluation, and integration of the two distinct program areas into one seamless program for the youth. Upon conclusion of the grand, staff anticipates receiving funding from other sources to continue to provide similar services to the target population in the juvenile justice system in Dallas County as well as other counties across Texas.

Project Period: 09/30/2006 - 09/29/2009
The purpose of the Reasons to Change project is to improve short, middle, and long-term treatment outcomes for adolescents with complex substance abuse and mental health problems in the Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Researchers and providers continue to recommend residential treatment for those adolescents with whose complex behaviors have proven resistant to intervention in other settings. Nevertheless, traditional models of residential treatment have not sought to incorporate evidence- based practices into the milieu or overarching framework at the core of most residential programs. Moreover, residential treatment separates adolescents from their families even though some of the most promising adolescent treatment interventions are family-focused. Finally, while adolescents enrolled in residential treatment exhibit greater initial improvements than adolescents in outpatient programs, residential treatment completers also tend to relapse at a higher rate after discharge from treatment. With this paradoxical situation in mind, the Reasons to Change project has the following goals: (1) improve short-term treatment outcomes for adolescents with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders by providing family-centered ACRA in an adolescent residential treatment setting equipped for co-occurring disorders; (2) improve middle-term treatment outcomes by using home-based ACC to help adolescents with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders and co-occurring mental health issues establish social networks, coping mechanisms, and opportunities for healthier lifestyles after discharge from residential treatment; (3) improve long-term treatment outcomes by equipping the existing "Winner's Circle" Teen Support Network with ACRA-compatible resources for sustaining the gains made in residential treatment; and (4) improve long-term treatment outcomes for adolescents with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders.
