项目摘要

Drinking among adolescents is prevalent. By the age of 14, over half all secondary school students drink at least occasionally. Further, adolescents are one of the major at-risk populations for alcohol abuse, with an estimated 30% of adolescent boys and 15% of adolescent girls meeting the criteria for heavy drinking (consuming greater than or equal to 5 drinks at a time) by the age of 18. The initiation of drinking is associated with a variety of negative outcomes for teens including higher risk of alcohol dependence, serious health problems including suicide and alcohol-related traffic accidents. While rates of heavy drinking among other adolescents have declined, rates among African-American youth have stayed consistently high (15% for boys and 5% for girls) over a 10-year period. Frequent heavy drinking places African-American youth at high risk for the development of problems related to their alcohol use. In fact, African- American adolescents who drink experience disproportionately more negative consequences as a result of alcohol use even though their levels of use are comparable or even lower than youth of other ethnic groups. Due to the severity of the problems associated with adolescent alcohol misuse, researchers have begun to explore protective factors that may inoculate at-risk adolescents from developing problem drinking patterns. Several of those inquiries have examined the potential protective role that religiosity and spirituality might play. Higher ratings of global religiosity and spirituality do indeed appear to be protective factors against problem drinking in adolescents. However, in adults recent evidence suggests that the extent of an individual's belief that God directly controls his or her alcohol use may have particular importance as a protective factor against problem drinking. This new evidence suggests a need for research on the protective role of alcohol- related God/Higher Power control beliefs in adolescents, however no published studies exist. The dearth of studies in this area is due at least in part to the paucity of available measures of domain-specific God/Higher Power control beliefs for use with African-American youth, 2) to explore the protective role of alcohol-related God/Higher Power control beliefs in the development of problem drinking among African-American youth.

青少年饮酒是普遍现象。到14岁时，一半以上的中学生至少偶尔喝酒。此外，青少年是酒精滥用的主要风险人群之一，估计30%的青春期男孩和15%的青春期女孩在18岁之前达到重度饮酒的标准（一次饮酒超过或等于5杯）。开始饮酒与青少年的各种负面后果有关，包括酒精依赖的风险较高，严重的健康问题，包括自杀和与酒精有关的交通事故。虽然其他青少年的酗酒率有所下降，但非洲裔美国青年的酗酒率在10年内一直居高不下（男孩为15%，女孩为5%）。经常大量饮酒使非洲裔美国青年处于与其酒精使用相关的问题发展的高风险之中。事实上，饮酒的非裔美国青少年因饮酒而经历的负面后果不成比例地更多，尽管他们的饮酒水平与其他族裔群体的青少年相当，甚至更低。由于与青少年酒精滥用相关的问题的严重性，研究人员已经开始探索保护因素，可能会阻止风险青少年发展问题饮酒模式。其中一些调查研究了宗教信仰和灵性可能发挥的潜在保护作用。全球宗教信仰和灵性的较高评级确实似乎是青少年问题饮酒的保护因素。然而，在成年人中，最近的证据表明，一个人相信上帝直接控制他或她的酒精使用的程度可能具有特别重要的保护因素，对问题饮酒。这一新的证据表明，有必要研究酒精相关的上帝/更高的权力控制信念在青少年中的保护作用，但没有发表的研究存在。在这方面的研究的缺乏，至少部分是由于缺乏可用的措施，特定领域的上帝/更高的权力控制信念与非洲裔美国人的青年，2）探索酒精相关的上帝/更高的权力控制信念的保护作用，在非洲裔美国人的青年问题饮酒的发展。
