DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this competing renewal application is to examine the linkage between child and adolescent predictors and young adult alcohol use and problems using longitudinal data from the Tween to Teen Project, a community sample of 452 European-American and African-American 8- and 10-year-old children and their families randomly selected from Allegheny County (PA). By the end of the 10th year of funding, 14 waves will have been collected on the two age cohorts, encompassing ages 8-16 for the younger cohort and ages 10-18 for the older cohort. This renewal will support the collection of age-18 data on the younger cohort and age-21 data on both age cohorts. The Tween to Teen Project is unique in its attention to the development of both alcohol-specific and general risk factors for the early initiation of drinking and the escalation into problem drinking from middle childhood through middle adolescence. The theoretical framework underlying the research is Problem Behavior Theory (PBT: Jessor & Jessor, 1977), which we have extended downstream into middle childhood and expanded to include greater attention to the parental and peer social environments and their influence on socialization. In addition, variables reflecting behavioral undercontrol, negative affectivity, temperament, and family history of alcohol problems were incorporated in the longitudinal assessments. Retention has been excellent. As of Wave 12, 85 percent of the original sample (384 of 452 families) are still participating. Waves 13 and 14 are ongoing. Specific aims are the following: 1) To describe the trajectories of development on alcohol-specific and general risk factors from middle childhood into young adulthood, comparing trajectories across early-onset drinkers (age 14 or younger), later-onset drinkers (age 15+), and never drinkers; 2) To determine the young adult consequences of early-onset drinking in contrast to later-onset drinking using age-21 data; 3) To use the personality, social environment, and behavior variables of PBT and the other variables collected in the Tween and Teen phases of data collection as prospective antecedent predictors of young adult alcohol use and alcohol use disorder (AUD) outcomes; and 4) To examine the relationship between growth in alcohol involvement from adolescence into young adulthood and growth in latent constructs reflecting problem behavior proneness in Problem Behavior Theory, as well as constructs reflecting behavioral undercontrol and negative affectivity. Accomplishment of these research aims should enhance understanding of the relationships among early-onset drinking, psychosocial development, and movement into problematic alcohol use in young adulthood. The research should thereby advance prevention efforts by identifying which modifiable risk factors should be targeted for maximum effect in reducing young adult problem drinking. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed research should enhance understanding of the relationships among early-onset drinking, psychosocial development, and movement into problematic alcohol use in young adulthood. The research should thereby advance prevention efforts by identifying which modifiable risk factors should be targeted for maximum effect in reducing young adult problem drinking.

描述（由申请人提供）：这一竞争性更新申请的首要目标是使用Tween to Teen项目的纵向数据来检查儿童和青少年预测因素与年轻成人饮酒和问题之间的联系，该项目是从阿勒格尼县（PA）随机选择的452名欧洲裔美国人和非洲裔美国人8岁和10岁儿童及其家庭的社区样本。到第10年资助结束时，将收集两个年龄组的14波数据，包括8-16岁的年轻组和10-18岁的老年组。本次更新将支持收集年轻队列的18岁数据和两个年龄队列的21岁数据。Tween to Teen项目的独特之处在于它关注酒精特异性和一般风险因素的发展，这些风险因素导致早期开始饮酒以及从童年中期到青春期中期升级为问题饮酒。研究的理论框架是问题行为理论（PBT：Jessor & Jessor，1977），我们已经将其延伸到童年中期，并扩展到更加关注父母和同伴的社会环境及其对社会化的影响。此外，反映行为控制不足，消极情感，气质和酒精问题的家族史的变量被纳入纵向评估。保持得很好。截至第12波，85%的原始样本（452个家庭中的384个）仍在参与。第13和14波正在进行中。具体目标如下：1）描述从童年中期到成年早期，酒精特异性和一般风险因素的发展轨迹，比较早发性饮酒者的轨迹（14岁或以下）、晚发饮酒者（15岁以上）和从不饮酒者; 2）使用21岁数据确定早发饮酒与晚发饮酒相比的年轻成年人后果; 3）使用PBT的个性、社会环境和行为变量以及在Tween和Teen阶段收集的数据作为年轻成人酒精使用和酒精使用障碍（AUD）结果的前瞻性前因预测因子;和4）研究从青少年到青年期的酒精参与增长与反映问题行为倾向的潜在结构增长之间的关系，问题行为理论，以及反映行为控制不足和消极情感的结构。这些研究目标的实现，应提高早发性饮酒，心理社会发展和运动到问题的酒精使用在年轻的成年人之间的关系的理解。因此，这项研究应该通过确定哪些可改变的风险因素来促进预防工作，以最大限度地减少年轻人的饮酒问题。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的研究应该加强对早发性饮酒，心理社会发展和成年后年轻时有问题的酒精使用之间关系的理解。因此，这项研究应该通过确定哪些可改变的风险因素来促进预防工作，以最大限度地减少年轻人的饮酒问题。
