The superordinate objective of this proposal is to identify the relation of vulnerability factors to adolescent alcohol use and other salient adolescent problem behaviors. The proposal has three specific aims, each embedded within the study's two-year, four-wave longitudinal research design. The three specific aims are: (1) to identify and assess the functional relatedness of adolescent vulnerability factors to adolescent patterns of alcohol use and illicit drug use, delinquent behaviors, drinking and driving, depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation/behavior; (2) to determine the causal priority and time-ordered relations of vulnerability factors to patterns of internalizing and externalizing adolescent problem behaviors; and (3) to examine the cross- temporal relationships between depressed affect and problem drinking among adolescents, and to test whether there are gender differences in these relationships. Subjects will consist of 10th and 11th graders who will be surveyed in classroom groups, and their primary caregiver who will be surveyed by mail. Two school districts will be used in this study; one school district will begin their first occasion of measurement one year later than the other. This cross-sequential research design provides a built-in replication sample, will permit the assessment of cohort differences, will increase sample size for subgroup comparisons (e.g., COA's), and will extend the age range of study to cover the final three years of high school. The total sample size will consist of approximately 1,100 adolescents and 990 primary caregivers. Vulnerability factors assessed will include family history of alcoholism (and/or other psychiatric disorders), current parental depression and role stress, major adolescent life event stressors, measures of adolescent conflict with peers and with family members, temperament attributes, and perceived peer and family social support. Descriptive statistical analyses will be conducted to compare data of the current sample with data of regional and national samples, and to examine distributional characteristics and bivariate associations among variables. Standard statistical models (e.g., ANOVA, multiple regression, discriminant function analysis) will be used to investigate cross-sectional interrelations among variables and causal modeling (via LISREL or EQS) will be used to model longitudinal patterns of covariation, including those focused on gender differences in cross- temporal interrelations between problem drinking and depressed affect.

该提案的首要目标是确定以下关系： 青少年酗酒的脆弱因素和其他显着因素 青少年问题行为。 该提案有三个具体目标，每个目标 嵌入该研究的两年四波纵向研究中 设计。 这三个具体目标是： (1) 识别和评估 青少年脆弱因素与青少年的功能相关性 饮酒和非法药物使用模式、违法行为、 酒后驾驶、抑郁症状、绝望和自杀倾向 想法/行为； (2)确定因果优先级和时间顺序 脆弱性因素与内化和内化模式的关系 将青少年问题行为外化； (3) 检查交叉 抑郁情绪与饮酒问题之间的时间关系 青少年，并测试这些方面是否存在性别差异 关系。 受试者将包括 10 年级和 11 年级的学生，他们将 在课堂小组中进行调查，以及他们的主要照顾者 通过邮件进行调查。 本研究将使用两个学区；一 学区将开始一年中的第一次测量 比另一个晚。 这种跨序贯研究设计提供了 内置复制样本，将允许评估队列 差异，将增加亚组比较的样本量（例如， COA's），并将扩大学习年龄范围以涵盖最后三个 高中的岁月。 总样本量大约包括 1,100 名青少年和 990 名主要看护者。 脆弱因素 评估将包括酗酒家族史（和/或其他 精神疾病），当前父母抑郁症和角色压力，主要 青少年生活事件压力源、青少年与同龄人冲突的衡量标准 以及家庭成员、气质属性以及感知到的同伴和 家庭社会支持。 将进行描述性统计分析 将当前样本数据与区域和国家数据进行比较 样本，并检查分布特征和双变量 变量之间的关联。 标准统计模型（例如方差分析、 多元回归、判别函数分析）将用于 研究变量和因果关系之间的横截面相互关系 建模（通过 LISREL 或 EQS）将用于对纵向模式进行建模 协变，包括那些关注跨性别差异的协变 饮酒问题与抑郁情绪之间的时间相关性。
