Abstract (Project Summary) The overall goal of the proposed project is to elucidate neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying the relationships between a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and alcohol and other substance use outcomes in women. Women with CSA history have earlier onset of alcohol misuse and higher rates of alcohol use disorders, even after controlling for family background factors influencing both CSA exposure and problem drinking, such as family history of alcoholism. Converging evidence suggests that CSA and its consequences for brain development may constitute a distinct etiological pathway to alcoholism in women. However, neural, cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes and mechanisms underlying the link between CSA and alcohol abuse are not well understood. Existing research on neurobehavioral consequences of CSA have typically relied on small samples and insufficiently matched control groups limiting control for family-level confounding factors and causal inferences. The proposed study seeks to address these gaps in knowledge and methodological challenges by utilizing a unique resource consisting of several large, well-characterized, longitudinal samples and implementing a model-driven set of experimental paradigms to test the hypothesis that problem drinking in CSA+ women is mediated by biased affective processing and dysfunction in cognitive control, leading to dysregulated affect and, consequently, coping motives for drinking. The proposed studies are strongly grounded in the current theories of addiction and supported by preliminary findings from our laboratory. Young adult women with a history of early CSA (n=80) and propensity score-matched controls (n=120, including 40 CSA- co-twins from CSA-discordant MZ twin pairs) will participate in a laboratory session involving face-to-face interviews, behavioral and cognitive testing, and the recording of quantitative EEG and ERPs in several behavioral paradigms. The following Specific Aims will be pursued: 1) to elucidate behavioral and psychophysiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between CSA, alcohol, and other substance use outcomes in women, 2) to examine alcohol cue reactivity (ACR) in CSA+ and CSA- women and its relationship with drinking motives and problem drinking, and 3) to determine whether observed differences associated with CSA represent consequences of abuse rather than pre-existing vulnerabilities by using the cotwin control design. In summary, the proposed project is aimed at bridging important gaps in knowledge and will be one of the first well-powered and well-controlled inquiries into the neurobehavioral pathways and mechanisms underlying an important etiological pathway to alcoholism in women. Several aspects of the proposed research are particularly novel: the use of propensity score matching and discordant twin analyses to control for potential confounding variables, focus on a specific etiological pathway to alcoholism in women; and explication of neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying the link between CSA and alcohol problems.

摘要(项目摘要) 拟议项目的总体目标是阐明潜在的神经行为机制。 儿童期性虐待史(CSA)与酒精及其他物质使用的关系 对女性的影响。有CSA病史的女性出现酒精滥用的时间更早，饮酒率更高 使用障碍，即使在控制了影响CsA暴露和问题的家庭背景因素之后 饮酒，如家族酗酒史。越来越多的证据表明，CSA及其后果 因为大脑发育可能构成了女性酒精中毒的一条独特的致病途径。然而，神经性的， CsA和酒精之间潜在的认知、情感和行为过程和机制 虐待行为并没有得到很好的理解。现有关于CsA神经行为后果的研究通常 依靠小样本和不充分匹配的对照组，限制了家庭层面的混杂控制 因素和因果推论。拟议的研究旨在解决这些知识和知识方面的差距 通过利用由几个大型、特征良好的、 纵向样本和实现一组模型驱动的实验范式来检验假设 CsA+女性的饮酒问题是由有偏见的情感处理和认知功能障碍介导的 控制，导致情绪失控，从而导致应对饮酒动机。建议进行的研究 都是以当前的成瘾理论为基础的，并得到了我们的初步发现的支持 实验室。有早期CSA病史的年轻成年女性(n=80)和倾向得分匹配的对照组 (n=120，包括40对CsA同卵双胞胎，来自CsA不协调的MZ双胞胎)将参加实验室会议 包括面对面访谈、行为和认知测试，以及记录定量脑电和 几种行为范式中的事件相关电位。将追求以下具体目标：1)阐明行为 以及CsA、酒精和其他物质之间关系的心理生理机制 使用女性的结果，2)检查CsA+和CsA-女性的酒精线索反应性(ACR)及其 与饮酒动机和问题饮酒的关系，以及3)确定是否观察到差异 与CSA关联表示滥用的后果，而不是使用 双胞胎对照设计。总之，拟议的项目旨在弥合知识和知识方面的重要差距。 将是首批对神经行为途径和控制良好的调查之一 女性酒精中毒的重要致病途径的潜在机制。的几个方面 建议的研究特别新颖：使用倾向得分匹配和不协调双胞胎分析来 控制潜在的混杂变量，侧重于女性酒精中毒的特定病因途径；以及 解释CsA和酒精问题之间联系的神经行为机制。
