Guided Adolescent Problem Solving
GAPS is a 5 year, $1.75 million project funded by NIAAA. GAPS provides school-based individual interventions primarily to adolescents of Hispanic/Latino, African-American, and Haitian descent attending Miami-Dade County alternative high schools affiliated with Communities in Schools-Miami (CIS-M). The aim of the study is to develop more effective interventions for adolescents with alcohol and aggressive behavior problems. Adolescents attending alternative schools often present with a combination of substance use and behavioral problems, including aggressive behaviors.
