SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF SUBSTANCE USE REPORTING

这一建议解决了越来越多的人对以下问题的关注： 调查对吸毒问题的答复。 这也是对 特别是需要更多关于吸毒的信息， 可能特别容易发生这种行为的人群。 三 寻求多年的资金，以支持后续的二次分析， 国家青年纵向调查（National Longitudinal Survey of Youth，NLSY） 青少年药物使用预测计划（JDUF） 的分析 NLSY数据将跟进和扩展以前的研究方法 通过评估减少药物使用的相关因素， 报告的时间和相关的不一致， 第一次吸毒的时间。 JDUF分析将检查有效性 自我报告和药物使用低报的相关性。 分析 将检查周期、队列和其他受试者对报告和 在六年多的时间里， 期 分析还将评估终身药物治疗的维度 使用报告，酒精和大麻作为网关物质的作用， 毒品使用水平的相关性。 该项目将采用创新的 处理纵向和集群杂交的分析策略 截面数据 两组分析生成的专论将 为未来流行病学研究的设计和分析提供信息， 吸毒 调查结果将讨论其相关性， 报告行为的认知理论 JDUF分析将用于 对未来的预防和治疗方向得出结论 为高危青少年制定计划。

This proposal addresses a growing body of concern about the validity of survey responses to questions about drug use. It is also a response to the perceived need for more information about drug use in special populations that may be particularly at risk for this behavior. Three years of funding are sought to support follow-up secondary analyses on two existing data sets, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) and the Juvenile Drug Use Forecasting Program (JDUF). Analyses of the NLSY data will follow-up and extend previous research on methodological issues in substance use reporting by evaluating correlates of diminished reporting over time and correlates of inconsistencies with respect to the timing of first drug use. JDUF analyses will examine the validity of self-reports and the correlates of drug use underreporting. Analyses will examine period, cohort and other subject influences on reported and detected drug use across multiple interview sites over a six year period. Analyses will also evaluate the dimensionality of lifetime drug use reports, the role of alcohol and marijuana as gateway substances and correlates of drug use levels. This project will employ innovative analytic strategies for handling longitudinal and clustered cross sectional data. Monographs generated from both sets of analyses will inform the future design and analysis of epidemiological research on drug abuse. Findings will be discussed in terms of their relevance for cognitive theories of reporting behavior. JDUF analyses will be used to draw conclusions about the future direction of prevention and treatment planning for high risk adolescents.
