In 1984, the Alcohol Research Group conducted the first national survey on drinking patterns and problems of the Black (N=1946) and Hispanic (N=1454) population in the U.S. This proposal seeks funding to conduct a second national survey of these two groups in 1994. About 1500 interviews (75% response rate) will be conducted in each ethnic group. Respondents will constitute a national probability sample of Blacks and Hispanics. This survey, as the one in 1984, will be conducted together with a national survey of the U.S. population (N=2000) planned for that same year and already funded under the National Alcohol Research Center grant at the Alcohol Research Group, thus achieving reductions in personnel and fieldwork costs of about $400,000. One of the aims of the 1994 survey is to allow for trends analysis in drinking patterns, problems, attitudes toward drinking and drunkenness in a comparative frame among Whites, Blacks and Hispanics. This will be the first time trends analysis will be conducted on alcohol-related data on representative national samples of Blacks and Hispanics. Such analyses are specially important now that trends suggesting a decrease in alcohol consumption have been detected among Whites but not among Blacks and Hispanics. New cross-sectional analyses on alcohol expectancies, attitudes toward drinking, reasons for drinking and recognition and views on alcohol policies in minority communities will also be conducted. These analyses are aimed at covering several important gaps in the alcohol literature with Blacks and Hispanics, as follows: a) description and testing of the factor structure of alcohol expectancy, attitudes toward drinking and reasons for drinking; b) assessment of the relationship between expectancies, attitudes and reasons for drinking and drinking patterns; and c) support for alcohol control policies and factors that underlie it. Taken together, these trends and cross-sectional analyses will provide a major contribution to the study of alcohol problems among Blacks and Hispanics. Results will assess present levels of drinking and problems, as well as the sociocultural environment surrounding alcohol use behavior among Blacks and Hispanics. The knowledge generated by these findings will have a direct impact on the development and implementation of prevention strategies to minimize heavy drinking and alcohol problems among these two ethnic groups in the U.S.

1984年，酒精研究小组进行了第一次全国性的关于 黑人(N=1946)和西班牙裔(N=1454)的饮酒模式和问题 美国的人口。这项提案寻求资金进行第二次 1994年对这两个群体进行的全国调查。约1500次采访(75% 回应率)将在每个族裔群体中进行。受访者将 构成黑人和拉美裔美国人的全国概率样本。这 与1984年的调查一样，将与一名国家 计划于同年进行的美国人口调查(N=2000)和 已由国家酒精研究中心拨款资助 酒精研究小组，从而实现裁员和 实地考察的费用约为40万美元。 1994年调查的目的之一是允许在#年进行趋势分析 饮酒模式、问题、对饮酒和醉酒的态度 白人、黑人和西班牙裔之间的比较框架。这将是 首次对与酒精有关的数据进行趋势分析 具有代表性的全国黑人和西班牙裔样本。这样的分析是 尤其重要的是，现在有趋势表明酒精的减少 在白人中检测到了消费，但在黑人和 西班牙裔。 关于饮酒预期、对酒精的态度的新横断面分析 饮酒、饮酒原因及对酒精的认识和看法 还将实施少数民族社区的政策。这些分析 旨在涵盖酒精文献中的几个重要空白 与黑人和西班牙裔美国人，如下：a)描述和测试 饮酒期望、饮酒态度和饮酒态度的因素结构 饮酒原因；b)评估两者之间的关系 对饮酒和饮酒模式的期望、态度和理由； 以及c)支持酒精管制政策及其背后的因素。 综上所述，这些趋势和横断面分析将提供 对黑人和青少年酒精问题的研究做出了重大贡献 西班牙裔。结果将评估目前的饮酒水平和问题，如 以及围绕饮酒行为的社会文化环境 在黑人和西班牙裔中。这些发现所产生的知识将 直接影响预防工作的制定和实施 减少酗酒和酗酒问题的策略 美国的种族群体
