This paper describes the intervention model, early implementation experience, and challenges for the Seguridad, Apoyo, Familia, Educacion, y Recursos (SAFER) Latinos project. The SAFER Latinos project is an attempt to build the evidence for a multilevel participatory youth violence prevention model tailored to the specific circumstances of Central American immigrants. Specific circumstances targeted in this intervention are decreased family cohesion as a result of sequential immigration (i.e., parents arriving first and bringing their children years later or youth arriving without parents); multiple school barriers; community disorganization and low community efficacy; limited access to services; and a social context (including gang presence) that is linked to youth norms supporting violence. In its implementation, the initial intervention model was adapted to address barriers and challenges. These are described, along with lessons learned and the ongoing evaluation.
本文介绍了“安全、支持、家庭、教育与资源（SAFER）拉丁裔”项目的干预模式、早期实施经验及挑战。“SAFER拉丁裔”项目旨在为针对中美洲移民特定情况量身定制的多层次参与式青少年暴力预防模式积累证据。该干预针对的具体情况包括：因顺序移民导致的家庭凝聚力下降（即父母先抵达，数年后才带孩子来，或青少年独自抵达而无父母陪伴）；多重学校障碍；社区无序及社区效能低下；服务获取受限；以及与支持暴力的青少年规范相关的社会环境（包括帮派存在）。在实施过程中，最初的干预模式进行了调整以应对障碍和挑战。本文将对此进行描述，并介绍所汲取的经验教训及正在进行的评估。
