There is a need to understand why some strategies work better than others for engaging vulnerable Black adolescents in prevention research, especially those who are affected by parental drug use. The current study sought to fill this gap. Thirty in-depth interviews were conducted with parents who reported a history of illicit drug use (N = 11), young adults who had a biological parent with a history of illicit drug use (N = 14), and service providers who work with families affected by illicit drug use (N = 5). Nearly all participants were Black and lived or worked in Baltimore, Maryland. Over half of the participants were female (62%). Interviews were recorded and ranged from 30 to 92 minutes in length. Data were analyzed using an inductive, content analysis approach. Four themes emerged (coined STAR): SAFE people and places minimize retraumatization; TEAMING UP with community partners increases acceptability; ADDRESSING a range of needs helps adolescents survive; and RELATABLE facilitators understand and listen to adolescents. Findings build onto and extend previous research that highlights strategies to recruit and retain vulnerable Black adolescents in prevention research.

“不要对他们关上门”：在预防研究中招募和留住弱势黑人青少年

有必要了解为什么某些策略比其他策略更有效地让弱势黑人青少年参与预防研究，特别是那些受父母吸毒影响的人。目前的研究试图填补这一空白。对有吸毒史的父母（ N  = 11）、亲生父母有吸毒史的年轻人（N  = 14）以及与家人一起工作的服务提供者进行了 30 次深入访谈受非法药物使用的影响（N = 5)。几乎所有参与者都是黑人，在马里兰州巴尔的摩生活或工作。超过一半的参与者是女性（62%）。采访被记录下来，长度从 30 到 92 分钟不等。使用归纳的内容分析方法分析数据。出现了四个主题（创造了 STAR）：安全人员和场所最大限度地减少再创伤；与社区合作伙伴合作提高了接受度；满足一系列需求有助于青少年生存；和相关的辅导员理解并倾听青少年。研究结果建立并扩展了先前的研究，这些研究强调了在预防研究中招募和留住弱势黑人青少年的策略。
