这项研究检查了强大的非裔美国人家庭计划的中介，这是一项随机，双焦点预防试验，旨在延迟非洲裔美国农村青年饮酒的开始和减少酒精消费。更具体地说，它表明干预后2年的消费变化是通过两条不同的路径介导的，一条是社会反应路径，另一条是理性/意图路径。社会反应路径提供的证据表明，相对于控制条件，干预通过使儿童对饮酒者的形象不那么有利而降低了儿童的饮酒意愿。理性/意图路径提供了证据，表明干预通过增加与酒精相关的有针对性的父母行为来影响儿童的饮酒意图。此外，数据表明，这些意愿和意图的变化与随访时的酒精消费量独立相关，他们表明，以意图和意愿为目标的双过程模型方法可能比单独使用任何一种方法更成功。
This study examined mediators of the Strong African American Families Program, a randomized, dual-focus prevention trial intended to delay the onset of alcohol use and reduce alcohol consumption among rural African American youths. More specifically, it demonstrated that changes in consumption 2 yrs after the intervention were mediated through 2 different paths, a social reaction path and a reasoned/intention path. The social reaction path provided evidence that relative to the control condition, the intervention decreased children's willingness to drink by making their images of drinkers less favorable. The reasoned/intention path provided evidence that the intervention influenced the children's intentions to drink by increasing targeted parenting behaviors related to alcohol. Furthermore, the data demonstrate that these changes in willingness and intentions were independently associated with alcohol consumption at the follow-up, and they suggest that a dual-process model approach that targets both intentions and willingness can be more successful than either approach alone.
