Adolescents are at extremely high risk for repeated exposure to repeated traumatic events. Current, empirically supported interventions do not focus on more chronic types of trauma and the range of psychological and behavioral consequences of repeated exposure to traumatic events. The proposed project describes plans to conduct an empirical evaluation of the Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS): A Trauma Focused Group Intervention. SPARCS has been developed over the course of the past two years and has been piloted in a variety of settings, including schools, outpatient settings, and residential facilities, with adolescents who have been chronically exposed to traumatic events that include community violence, interpersonal violence, and medical trauma. Initial feedback has been encouraging and the proposed project will provide empirical support for the SPARCS Intervention. By the end of the proposed project, the SPARCS intervention will have met all Phase I and Phase II evaluation criteria and will be submitted to the National Registry of Effective Programs. The proposal also describes additional projects that are currently under development at the Adolescent Trauma Treatment Development Center, which include an intervention focused on improving parenting skills of traumatized teen mothers, a program utilizing peers to educate other adolescents regarding traumatic stress and where to access services, a consortium of National Child Traumatic Stress Network sites who serve traumatized adolescents, and a collaboration with the Terrorism and Disaster Branch of the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress to develop a proto-type of a health system's response to enhance child mental health after terrorism and disasters.

The provision of quality medical and mental health care for racial and ethnic minorities is a major priority for improving the health of the nation, however, very few evidence-based practices have been studied in public mental health settings. Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center (AHC) has demonstrated, through their 35 years of experience in integrated health services delivery, that comprehensive, high quality services are essential to the health of urban, minority, traumatized adolescents. Phase II of the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative will allow AHC to further study and increase quality of care for this population, specifically as it relates to the provision of services for adolescents who have experienced trauma. AHC will also refine data collection and evaluation tools during Phase II of this award in order to: I) better understand the major physical and psychiatric illnesses and experiences of trauma in minority adolescent populations; 2) evaluate treatment modalities and treatment outcomes; 3) enhance our best practice model of integrated care for traumatized adolescents based on findings from our Phase I award. Throughout Phase II, AHC will continue collaboration with Network sites, the National Center, various Network committees, and the surrounding community to share our best practice model and to adapt, implement, and evaluate standardized treatment modalities and resources from other sites that will ultimately enhance quality of care for racially diverse adolescents in New York City.

Project Period: 09/30/2003 - 09/29/2006
This project is aimed at the implementation, training and evaluation of the Family Psychoeducation (FP) Implementation Resource Kit in three diverse communities within New York State (NYS), specifically among communities of Asian, Hispanic/Latino, and African descent. The purpose is to build on the strengths of the Kit by sharpening the focus on overcoming cultural barriers to FP implementation, including developing a culturally responsive staff training program and a community-oriented engagement process. We will evaluate the local adaptation and implementation process in these diverse communities, document the process, and ensure portability and replicability of any tailored implementation activities. This project has four major aims: (1) review of the use of the FP Implementation Resource Kit with persons who have schizophrenia and their families in three ethnically and culturally diverse communities to ensure tailored cultural and linguistic FP interventions that are reflective of the local communities, while maintaining fidelity to the principles of the FP model and the Resource Kit; (2) implementation of the Resource Kit, relying on tailored implementation and training approaches for each community; (3) evaluation of the impact of Resource Kit implementation by employing practice fidelity, service utilization, and cultural measures; and (4) an evaluation of family and consumer outcomes associated with FP implementation in each of the three diverse communities. FP implementation is proposed in three sites with populations who are historically underserved and underrepresented in the public mental health system. The necessary cultural adaptations and "lessons learned" could be replicated in other settings and incorporated into the FP and other Implementation Resource Kits.

The Unity Health System currently provides integrated primary care and mental health services in twenty of its primary care clinics. Its Senior Outreach Program, which began in 1993, is supported by a United Way grant and provides a variety of supportive and mental health services in the community free-of-charge and serves about 65 clients at any one time. This project will expand the services provided by the Senior Outreach Program to include more outreach, screening and assessment, and intervention as well as to serve a larger number of older adults. It is anticipated that the clinical team will serve over 300 individuals annually. Mental health assessment and evaluation, treatment, and support will be offered in a diversity of settings, including homes, primary care offices, and senior residences; case management will also be used to increase older consumers' access to mental health services. All interventions will be based on evidence-based practices, and the program aims to build an infrastructure for high-quality, continuous mental health care for the elderly. The interventions are further designed to provide accessible, non-stigmatizing care to elders, and afford the consumer an opportunity to select the most appropriate and comfortable treatment for him or her. Quality of care is also ensured through the provision of training and consultation with mental health specialists to primary care physicians and others treating mentally ill older adults.

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
