DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Information on the development of involvement with alcohol between childhood and adolescence is lacking. Most longitudinal studies of alcohol use have started with adolescents and followed them into adulthood. Consequently, more is known about the natural history of alcohol involvement from adolescence on, despite recent findings showing early onset alcohol use as a risk factor for later alcohol problems. In addition, little is known about the development of risk factors for adolescent drinking because these have generally not been assessed prior to adolescence. Nor is information available regarding the influence of preadolescent risk factors on alcohol use onset and transitions into problematic alcohol use in adolescence. Such Information can have important implications for the design of alcohol prevention programs in the elementary schools. This is an application to fund the continuation into adolescence of the Teen to Teen Study, an ongoing longitudinal study of over 400 Caucasian and African-American 8- and 10-year-old children and their families, from whom seven previous waves of data will have been collected. The study is unique in its measurement of alcohol socialization influences and personality and attitudinal risk factors for later alcohol involvement. An important feature of the study is the 6-month interval between interviews, allowing us to capture rapid changes in these antecedents as well as to estimate more precisely the relation between developments in risk and drinking onset. In addition to the target children, the sample consists of their biological mothers, their biological fathers (or mother's current partner), an older same-sex sibling (if available), and one or two close friends. Retention of the sample over time has exceeded 90% through the first five waves of data collection, establishing a firm basis for the continuation of the study into adolescence when their alcohol involvement will escalate. An additional seven waves of data collection are proposed in the present application to provide nearly continuous assessment of these two cohorts of children every six months from ages 8 and 10 through ages 15 and 17, respectively.

描述（由申请人提供）：缺乏关于儿童期和青春期期间饮酒发展的信息。大多数关于饮酒的纵向研究都是从青少年开始，并跟踪他们到成年。因此，尽管最近的研究结果表明早期饮酒是以后酗酒问题的一个危险因素，但人们对从青春期开始酗酒的自然史有了更多的了解。此外，人们对青少年饮酒危险因素的发展知之甚少，因为这些因素通常在青春期之前没有得到评估。也没有关于青春期前危险因素对酒精使用开始和青春期酒精使用问题转变的影响的信息。此类信息对于小学酒精预防计划的设计具有重要意义。这是一项资助青少年到青少年研究继续进入青春期的申请，该研究是一项针对 400 多名白人和非洲裔美国 8 岁和 10 岁儿童及其家庭的持续纵向研究，之前的七波数据已从他们身上收集。该研究的独特之处在于测量了酒精社会化的影响以及后来酗酒的人格和态度风险因素。该研究的一个重要特点是访谈之间的间隔为 6 个月，这使我们能够捕捉到这些前因的快速变化，并更准确地估计风险发展与饮酒开始之间的关系。除了目标儿童之外，样本还包括他们的亲生母亲、亲生父亲（或母亲当前的伴侣）、一位年长的同性兄弟姐妹（如果有）以及一两个亲密的朋友。在前五轮数据收集中，随着时间的推移，样本保留率已超过 90%，为继续研究到青少年酒精参与程度升级奠定了坚实的基础。本申请中提出了另外七波数据收集，以便分别每六个月对这两组儿童从 8 岁和 10 岁到 15 岁和 17 岁提供近乎连续的评估。
