DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for an Independent Scientist Award (K02) for Kate Carey, PhD, and describes the applicant's research and career development plans. Dr. Carey's career goals are: (a) to develop, implement, and evaluate motivational interventions for risky drinking college students that are sensitive to the developmental context of college drinking; (b) to refine data analytic skills necessary to conduct state-of-the science longitudinal studies and to evaluate mechanisms and correlates of intervention related change; and (c) to mentor junior colleagues in the development and evaluation of alcohol abuse based prevention interventions. The research plan includes two currently funded and one planned study that evaluate the efficacy of brief motivational interventions (BMIs) in college drinkers. Study 1 recruits at-risk drinkers and compares a basic BMI to a BMI enhanced with a decisional balance exercise to an assessment-only control; participants provide assessment data at baseline, post-intervention, 1-, 6-, and 12- month follow-ups. Study 2 recruits students who are mandated to an intervention because of alcohol violations of school policy; in this study, the basic BMI is compared to a CD-ROM alcohol education program, with the same assessment schedule being used in Study 1. Study 3 will recruit students who have violated residence hall alcohol policies, and will compare the basic BMI with the CD-ROM educational tool. For all three studies, hypotheses regarding mediators and moderators of intervention effects will be evaluated. These and future research projects form a program of research that will test the efficacy of BMIs for selective and indicated prevention, and clarify the mechanisms through which they work. The proposed award would allow the applicant protected time to expand her alcohol interventions research, to acquire new and strengthen existing scientific skills, to collaborate with other senior scientists, and to provide research training to junior scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求支持凯特·凯里博士的独立科学家奖（K 02），并描述了申请人的研究和职业发展计划。Carey博士的职业目标是：（a）为对大学饮酒发展背景敏感的危险饮酒大学生制定，实施和评估动机干预措施;（B）完善进行科学纵向研究所需的数据分析技能，并评估干预相关变化的机制和相关性;以及（c）指导初级同事制定和评估基于酒精滥用的预防干预措施。该研究计划包括两项目前资助的研究和一项计划中的研究，旨在评估大学饮酒者的简短动机干预（BMI）的有效性。研究1招募了有风险的饮酒者，并将基础BMI与决策平衡运动增强的BMI与仅评估对照进行了比较;参与者在基线，干预后，1，6和12个月随访时提供了评估数据。研究2招募了因酒精而被强制干预的学生 违反学校政策;在这项研究中，将基本BMI与CD-ROM酒精教育计划进行了比较，研究1中使用了相同的评估时间表。研究3将招募违反宿舍酒精政策的学生，并将基本BMI与CD-ROM教育工具进行比较。对于所有三项研究，将评估关于干预效应的中介者和调节者的假设。这些和未来的研究项目形成了一个研究计划，将测试BMI对选择性和指示性预防的功效，并阐明它们的工作机制。拟议的奖项将允许申请人保护的时间来扩大她的酒精干预研究，获得新的和加强现有的科学技能，与其他资深科学家合作，并提供研究培训的年轻科学家。
