PROJECT SUMMARY The role of alcohol use in the etiology of abusive parenting is a significant known risk. The COVID-19 pandemic is a health, economic, and social crisis that has radically changed supports available for parenting, particularly as many parents may have lost jobs or had to navigate working from home while monitoring their child(ren)’s virtual and/or hybrid schooling. Further, COVID-19-related distress is associated with drinking- related coping, which in turn is related to increased frequency and quantity of alcohol use. While the full impact may not be known for years, it is likely that increased parent-child time within the home may mean an increase in child abuse and neglect that is hidden from mandated reporters who are an important front-line defense in keeping children safe (e.g., teachers, childcare providers). In our innovative study, we asked mothers directly about their use of aggressive and punitive parenting practices (which correlate with use of child abuse neglect) three times a day for 14 days mid-March through April 2020, during Ohio’s stay-at home orders and again during February 2021, before vaccinations were widely available and when most schools were in hybrid or fully virtual formats. Thus, our understanding of changes in parenting do not rely on official reports of child abuse and neglect during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed study capitalizes on two existing waves of data collection by adding a third wave of data of mothers in Central Ohio that assesses alcohol use and parenting behaviors to occur 6–12 months after most social distancing and other COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. This represents a unique opportunity to assess how alcohol use has changed and affected use of aggressive and punitive discipline during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, our study combines use of a baseline survey and Ecological Momentary Assessment for all three time periods to assess past year and at- the-moment stress, drinking, and parenting behaviors. This provides us with important information on behaviors pre-pandemic while also being able to assess micro-temporal changes in daily alcohol use and parenting during and after social distancing and other pandemic restrictions have been lifted. The specific aims of the study are: Aim 1: Examine change in drinking behaviors during three time points of the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) during Ohio’s first stay-at-home orders; (2) about one year into the pandemic; and (3) 6–12 months after re- opening occurred; Aim 2: Test whether daily drinking during and post-pandemic were related to at-the-moment aggressive and punitive parenting; and Aim 3: Investigate if daily drinking moderates the relationship between at-the-moment stress and aggressive and punitive parenting during the pandemic and if that changes when re-opening has occurred.

项目总结 酒精使用在虐待父母的病因中所起的作用是一个已知的重大风险。新冠肺炎 流行病是一种健康、经济和社会危机，它从根本上改变了可用于育儿的支持， 特别是因为许多父母可能失业了，或者不得不在家工作，同时监控他们的 儿童(人)S虚拟和/或混合教育。此外，新冠肺炎相关的痛苦与饮酒有关- 与应对有关，这反过来又与酒精使用的频率和数量增加有关。虽然全面的影响 可能几年后才知道，很可能父母和孩子呆在家里的时间增加可能意味着 对受权记者隐瞒的虐待和忽视儿童的行为，这些记者是 确保儿童安全(例如，教师、托儿服务提供者)。在我们的创新研究中，我们直接询问了母亲 关于他们使用攻击性和惩罚性的育儿做法(这与使用虐待儿童和忽视儿童有关) 一天三次，持续14天，从2020年3月中旬到4月，在俄亥俄州的居家订单期间，以及再次 在2021年2月，在疫苗广泛可用之前，大多数学校都是混合或完全混合的 虚拟格式。因此，我们对育儿方式变化的理解并不依赖于有关虐待儿童的官方报告 以及在新冠肺炎大流行期间的忽视。这项拟议的研究利用了现有的两波数据 通过添加第三波俄亥俄州中部母亲的数据来收集数据，这些数据评估了酒精使用和育儿方式 行为发生在大多数社交距离和其他新冠肺炎限制取消后6-12个月。 这是一个独特的机会，可以评估酒精使用的变化和对攻击性使用的影响 以及新冠肺炎大流行期间和之后的惩罚性纪律。重要的是，我们的研究结合了 所有三个时间段的基线调查和生态瞬时评估，以评估过去一年和- 压力、饮酒和养育子女的行为。这为我们提供了关于 大流行前的行为，同时也能够评估日常饮酒和 在社交距离和其他流行病限制期间和之后为人父母的做法已经取消。具体目标 这项研究的主要内容包括： 目的1：研究新冠肺炎大流行三个时间点内饮酒行为的变化：(1) 在俄亥俄州的第一批居家订单期间；(2)疫情爆发约一年后；(3)重新开始工作6-12个月后 出现开洞现象； 目标2：测试在大流行期间和大流行后每天饮酒是否与当下攻击性和 惩罚性育儿；以及 目标3：调查日常饮酒是否能缓和当下压力和攻击性之间的关系 以及在大流行期间惩罚性的育儿，如果重新开放发生了这种情况的话。
