The proposed project investigates the patterns and social psychological determinants of substance use among adolescent children of alcoholics (COAs). The high prevalence of COAs among individuals treated for chemical dependency suggests that effective primary prevention efforts aimed at this group could produce substantial public health benefits. There are strong theoretical reasons to believe that adolescent COAs are at high- risk for alcohol and substance use. However, because most research has studied general adolescent population, little is known about the nature, extent, and time course of this risk. Moreover, little is known about the processes that underlie substance use and abuse in this population. The proposed study will follow a sample of 250 COA and 200 non-COA adolescents and their families over a three-year period. The study will identify potentially modifiable risk and protective factors that influence substance use among COA and non-COA adolescents, and will determine whether these factors act in unique ways among COAs. Finally, the study will evaluate the utility of negative affect regulation models of substance use against competing theoretical alternatives. The results of this project will have important implications for both the timing and the content of substance use prevention programs aimed at high-risk adolescents.

拟议的项目调查的模式和社会 青少年物质使用的心理决定因素 酗酒儿童（COAs） COA的高患病率 在接受化学药物依赖治疗的个体中， 针对这一群体的有效初级预防工作可 对公众健康有很大的好处。 有强烈 理论上有理由相信青少年的COA是高的- 酒精和物质使用的风险。 但由于大部分 研究已经研究了一般的青少年人口，但知之甚少 这一风险的性质、程度和时间进程。 此外，委员会认为， 人们对药物使用的基本过程知之甚少， 在这个人群中。 拟议的研究将遵循一个样本， 250名COA和200名非COA青少年及其家人， 为期三年。 这项研究将确定潜在的 影响物质的可改变的风险和保护因素 在COA和非COA青少年中使用，并将确定 这些因素是否在COA中以独特的方式起作用。 最后， 这项研究将评估负性情绪调节的效用， 物质使用模型与竞争理论 替代品. 该项目的成果将具有重要意义 对药物使用时间和内容的影响 针对高危青少年的预防计划。
