DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major objectives of the proposed Pathway to Independence Award are the acceleration and completion of Dr. Amelia Talley's training in alcohol-related research and the launching of her career as an independent scientist with a tenure-track assistant professor position. Dr. Talley is a psychologist and a postdoctoral fellow on an NIAAA T32 training grant at the University of Missouri (MU). The 2-year K99 Phase will complete Dr. Talley's training in the examination of patterns of alcohol use during emerging adulthood, with an emphasis on sexual minority populations and the associated motivational determinants of alcohol involvement. With supervision, Dr. Talley will: (c) complete adaptation of a measure of sexual self-concept conflict; (b) examine patterns and motivational determinates of alcohol use behaviors among women evidencing sexual self-concept conflict; (c) attend courses, workshops, and conferences related to alcohol use and misuse, qualitative and advanced quantitative data analysis, identity formation, and professional development issues; and (d) pilot all experimental procedures and materials. Dr. Talley will also dedicate a portion of her time to the dissemination of research findings through manuscript preparation and submission, consultation with experts on alcohol and sexual minority substance use, and preparation of materials for a national job search. The proposed mentor, Dr. Sher, and consultants, Drs. Wood, Steinley, Bartholow, Hughes & Diamond are experts in college drinking, longitudinal statistical modeling, multivariate statistical modeling, alcohol administration methodology, female sexual minority substance use, and female sexual identity development, respectively. MU is a world-class research institution, with the resources necessary to complete the aims of the K99. The 3-year ROO Phase will allow Dr. Talley to (a) conduct a series of experimental studies examining moderators of the relation between sexual self-concept conflict and alcohol consumption (b) establish her laboratory (c) continue preparation and dissemination of research findings, and (d) submit an R01 to NIAAA. This study extends Dr. Talley's research on sexual minority substance use behaviors to investigate (a) the role of sexual self-concept conflict in determining etiology and course of alcohol use behaviors among women and (b) explanatory variables that may account for alcohol use behaviors among women who report sexual self-concept conflict. Study findings will provide pilot data for Dr. Talley's R01 submission. The current aims are also in-line with NIAAA's (2005) expressed desire "to further research with a broader representation of LGBT individuals" to "improve services and outcomes in the prevention and treatment of alcohol abuse among LGBT individuals." PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Briefly, the proposed research project can help researchers and clinicians better understand how the process of sexual questioning may contribute to heightened alcohol involvement for women who acknowledge inconsistent or unstable beliefs about their own sexual orientation. This information can be used to design interventions to better address problem drinking among subgroups of women during emerging adulthood.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的独立途径奖的主要目标是加速和完成Amelia Talley博士在酒精相关研究方面的培训，以及她担任独立科学家的职业生涯，并拥有终身助理助理教授职位。 Talley博士是密苏里大学（MU）的NIAAA T32培训补助金的心理学家和博士后研究员。为期两年的K99阶段将完成塔利博士在成年后饮酒模式检查中的培训，重点是性少数群体以及相关的酒精参与的动机决定因素。在监督下，Talley博士将：（c）完全适应性自我概念冲突的措施； （b）检查表现出性自我概念冲突的女性中饮酒行为的模式和动机决定； （c）参加与酒精使用和滥用，定性和高级定量数据分析，身份形成以及专业发展问题有关的课程，研讨会和会议； （d）所有实验程序和材料的试验。塔利（Talley）博士还将通过手稿准备和提交，与酒精和性少数药物使用专家进行咨询以及为国家求职的材料进行准备，将她的一部分时间用于分发研究结果。拟议的导师Sher博士和顾问，博士。伍德，斯坦利，巴索洛，休斯和钻石是大学饮酒，纵向统计建模，多元统计建模，酒精管理方法，女性性少数族裔药物使用和女性性认同发展的专家。 MU是一家世界一流的研究机构，拥有完成K99目标所需的资源。为期3年的ROO阶段将使Talley博士（a）进行一系列实验研究，以检查性自我概念冲突和饮酒之间关系的主持人（b）建立她的实验室（c）继续准备和传播研究结果，以及（d）向NIAAA提交R01。这项研究扩展了塔利博士对性少数物质使用行为的研究，以调查（a）性自我概念冲突在确定妇女中的病因和饮酒行为方面的作用，以及（b）解释性变量，这些变量可能解释了报告性自我概念冲突的女性中酒精使用行为。研究结果将为Talley博士的R01提交提供试点数据。目前的目标还与NIAAA（2005）表示“渴望以更广泛的LGBT个体表示进一步研究”，以“改善LGBT个体中预防和治疗酒精滥用的服务和结果”。 公共卫生相关性：简而言之，拟议的研究项目可以帮助研究人员和临床医生更好地了解性质质质疑过程如何有助于对那些承认对自己的性取向不一致或不稳定信念的妇女提高酒精的参与。这些信息可用于设计干预措施，以更好地解决新兴成年期妇女亚组中的问题。
