DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a continuation of our current 5-year, NIAAA study, which prospectively examines the effect of retirement on the drinking behavior of workers. The purpose of the research is to examine how different levels of social isolation (i.e., depth and breadth of social support or lack thereof), social control (loss of [or relief from] work based systems or rules governing drinking; permissive drinking norms), stress (e.g., financial insecurity, role underload, marital strain), and social marginalization (e.g., lowered self efficacy, loss of self esteem) experienced during the retirement process impact drinking behavior. The study is unique because, in contrast to other studies, it follows retirement-eligible workers (i.e., 6 months prior to their eligibility for retirement) into their retirement years. In the current study, we have identified three different retirement trajectories (e.g., postponing retirement, partial retirement, and full retirement) and begun to analyze their relationship to social isolation, social control, stress, and social marginalization and workers' drinking behavior. During the first 5 years, we proposed to follow retirement-eligible workers from 6 months before they were eligible to retire until 18 months after retirement. At the time of the original submission, we also stated that we planned to submit a continuation proposal, which would permit us to follow our sample of unionized, blue-collar workers into their retirement years. To date, we have collected qualitative data from blue-collar retirees to generate theoretical insight into the impact of the retirement process on drinking behavior as well as 3 waves of survey data from a unique cohort of retirement-eligible, blue-collar workers to test our hypotheses about retirement's impact on drinking behavior and other yet-to-be-identified effects will only become manifested over time. Over the next five years we propose to collect 3 additional waves of survey data from our cohort sample on the basis of an expanded research model; a model incorporating a number of new constructs and hypotheses generated on the basis of our qualitative data. Thus, the continuation will allow us to examine the full effects of retirement as more retirement-eligible workers opt for full or partial retirement and struggle with the implications of their retirement (e.g., isolation, stress, marginalization) and its effects on their drinking behavior,

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是我们当前为期 5 年的 NIAAA 研究的延续，该研究前瞻性地研究了退休对工人饮酒行为的影响。该研究的目的是探讨退休过程中经历的不同程度的社会孤立（即社会支持的深度和广度或缺乏）、社会控制（失去基于工作的饮酒系统或规则[或减轻]；允许的饮酒规范）、压力（例如经济不安全、角色负担过重、婚姻紧张）和社会边缘化（例如自我效能降低、自尊丧失）如何影响饮酒 行为。该研究的独特之处在于，与其他研究相比，它追踪了符合退休资格的工人（即退休资格前 6 个月）进入退休年龄的情况。在本研究中，我们确定了三种不同的退休轨迹（例如延迟退休、部分退休和完全退休），并开始分析它们与社会隔离、社会控制、压力、社会边缘化和工人饮酒行为的关系。在最初的5年里，我们建议对符合退休资格的工人从有资格退休前的6个月到退休后的18个月进行跟踪。在最初提交时，我们还表示，我们计划提交一份延续提案，这将使我们能够跟踪加入工会的蓝领工人样本直至他们的退休年龄。迄今为止，我们已经收集了蓝领退休人员的定性数据，以对退休过程对饮酒行为的影响产生理论见解，并从符合退休资格的蓝领工人中收集了三波调查数据，以检验我们关于退休对饮酒行为影响的假设，而其他尚未确定的影响只会随着时间的推移而显现出来。在接下来的五年里，我们建议在扩展的研究模型的基础上，从我们的队列样本中收集另外 3 波调查数据；该模型包含根据我们的定性数据生成的许多新构造和假设。因此，随着越来越多符合退休资格的工人选择完全或部分退​​休，并与退休的影响（例如孤立、压力、边缘化）及其对饮酒行为的影响作斗争，继续下去将使我们能够研究退休的全面影响，
