目的：我们假设，病因相关的父母，同伴和人口统计学变量将预测过渡到酒精使用和后果，以及这些结果的强度从预科到大学二年级的增加。方法：大学生（N = 388）在东北部一所中等规模的公立大学进行了评估，在夏季入学前，在春季学期的大一和大二。最近开发的混合模型，用于分析纵向响应模式与占主导地位的零被用来检查分类转换（二进制部分）和增长（强度部分）。结果如下：正如预期的那样，在三个结果（每周饮酒，重度间歇性饮酒和酒精相关问题）的模型的二元和强度部分中都反映了时间的强烈影响。父母的放纵饮酒和学生的意图加入联谊会/联谊会组织预测过渡到使用和后果状态的所有三个结果和增加酒精的使用和后果。同伴不赞成饮酒强烈预测所有的酒精使用和后果的结果。父母不赞成大量饮酒，父母的监督和男性性别在低到中等水平的结果中具有显著影响力。结论：我们的研究结果表明父母背景的重要性（例如，父母允许饮酒）以及同伴影响（例如，有意的兄弟会/姐妹会参与）在大学生饮酒行为中的作用。这些发现强调了需要检查饮酒结果的发生和增长。干预和预防的影响进行了探讨。(J.酒精药物研究70：908-918，2009）
Objective: We hypothesized that etiologically relevant parental, peer, and demographic variables would predict both the transition into alcohol use and consequences and the increase in intensity of these outcomes from prematriculation to the sophomore year of college. Method: College students (N = 388) at a midsized northeastern public university were assessed during the summer before matriculation and during the spring semesters of their freshman and sophomore years. A recently developed mixed model for analyzing longitudinal response patterns with predominating zeros was employed to examine categorical transitions (binary portion) and growth (intensity portion). Results: As expected, there were strong effects of time reflected in both the binary and intensity portions of the models across the three outcomes (weekly alcohol use, heavy episodic drinking, and alcohol-related problems). Parental permissiveness of drinking and student intention to affiliate with fratemity/sorority organizations predicted the transition to use and consequence status for all three outcomes and for increases in alcohol use and consequences. Peer disapproval of drinking strongly predicted all alcohol use and consequence outcomes. Parental disapproval of heavy drinking, parental monitoring, and male gender were variably influential across the outcomes at low to moderate levels. Conclusions: Our findings indicate the importance of the parental context (e.g., parental permissiveness of drinking) as well as peer influences (e.g., intended fraternity/sorority involvement) in drinking behavior among college students. These findings underscore the need to examine both onset and growth of drinking outcomes. Intervention and prevention implications are explored. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs 70: 908-918, 2009)
