DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Epidemiological research supports that African American adolescents have lower rates of alcohol use compared to White adolescents (Lambert, Brown, Phillips, lalongo, 2004; Belgrave, Reed, Plybon, Corneille, 2004; Wallace, 1999). However, alcohol-related problems are more severe among African American adolescents than for other populations (Wallace et al, 1999; Lex, 1987). It is clear that alcohol use among urban African American adolescents is highly complex, however, it is not clear what factors contribute to alcohol use and how, or what outcomes are related to alcohol use among this population. The proposed research examines the etiology and outcomes of alcohol use among low-income, African American adolescents to better address these issues. Through assessment of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems within an African American adolescent population focusing on individual, interpersonal, and contextual factors this research will increase understanding of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems among African American adolescents in order to best approach prevention and intervention for this population.

描述（由申请人提供）：流行病学研究支持，与白人青少年相比，非裔美国青少年的酒精使用率较低（Lambert，Brown，Phillips，Lalongo，2004； Belgrave，Reed，Plybon，Plybon，Corneille，Corneille，Corneille，2004; Wallace，1999）。但是，与其他人群相比，非裔美国青少年与酒精有关的问题要严重（Wallace等，1999； Lex，1987）。显然，非裔美国青少年城市中的饮酒非常复杂，但是，尚不清楚哪些因素会导致饮酒以及如何或哪些结果与该人群中的酒精使用有关。拟议的研究研究了低收入的非裔美国青少年中酒精使用的病因和结果，以更好地解决这些问题。通过评估饮酒和与酒精有关的问题，在非洲裔美国青少年人群中，重点关注个人，人际交往和情境因素，这项研究将增加对非裔美国青少年中酒精使用和与酒精相关的问题的了解，以便为这一人群提供预防和干预。
