项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite high rates of heavy drinking among Asian American adolescents and increasing prevalence of alcohol dependence and abuse among Asian American young adults, little research has been reported on predictors of Asian American adolescent drinking and their outcomes in young adulthood. The acculturation-focused approach taken in this research is limiting in that, due to the preoccupation with acculturation, predictors of adolescent and young adult drinking identified as important for other populations have not been sufficiently incorporated. There is also a paucity of longitudinal research to establish causal relationships between predictors and drinking outcomes. Despite the great socioeconomic and cultural diversity among Asian American adolescents and young adults, few studies have investigated subgroup-specific risk and protective factors of their drinking or the effects of cultural and socioeconomic environments on their drinking. To fill these gaps, we propose a secondary analysis of a longitudinal Asian American sample (N=1,425) extracted from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health data. Using latent growth curve models, we will test hypotheses that low attachment to parents, low parental control, more close friends who drink, low academic performance, low school bonding, and high alcohol availability will be associated with higher initial levels of alcohol use in adolescence and with increases in alcohol use over time. In addition, we will examine interactions between ethnic drinking culture, generational status, and neighborhood SES with individual-level predictors of Asian American adolescents' trajectories of alcohol use. Our efforts will also include identifying high risk subgroups of Asian American adolescents whose drinking patterns are more problematic in adolescence and more likely to lead to long-term drinking problems in young adulthood, as well as uncovering the risk factors that drive their drinking. Our findings will greatly improve knowledge of Asian American adolescent and young adult drinking and inform effective intervention strategies. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed project examines predictors of alcohol use among Asian American adolescents and young adults and if and to what extent the effects of predictors vary with immigrant status, neighborhood SES, and ethnicity. By examining predictors amenable to intervention, identifying high-risk subgroups and the predictors of their binge and other problem drinking, our findings will inform effective, culturally-appropriate, and contextually-specific intervention efforts targeted at high risk groups.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管亚裔美国青少年大量饮酒的比例很高，亚裔美国年轻人酒精依赖和滥用的患病率也在增加，但关于亚裔美国青少年饮酒的预测因素及其在年轻人中的结果的研究很少。在这项研究中采取的以文化适应为重点的方法是有限的，因为，由于专注于文化适应，青少年和年轻人饮酒的预测因素确定为重要的其他人群还没有充分纳入。也缺乏纵向研究来建立预测因素和饮酒结果之间的因果关系。尽管亚裔美国青少年和年轻人之间存在巨大的社会经济和文化多样性，但很少有研究调查他们饮酒的亚组特定风险和保护因素或文化和社会经济环境对他们饮酒的影响。为了填补这些空白，我们提出了一个纵向亚裔美国人样本（N= 1，425）从国家青少年健康纵向研究数据的二次分析。使用潜在的增长曲线模型，我们将测试假设，低依恋父母，低父母控制，更多的亲密朋友谁喝酒，低学习成绩，低学校的结合，和高酒精的可用性将与较高的初始水平的酒精使用在青春期和酒精使用随着时间的推移增加。此外，我们将研究种族饮酒文化、代际地位和社区社会经济地位之间的相互作用，以及亚裔美国青少年饮酒轨迹的个人层面预测因素。我们的努力还包括确定亚裔美国青少年的高风险亚组，他们的饮酒模式在青春期更有问题，更有可能导致成年后的长期饮酒问题，以及揭示推动他们饮酒的风险因素。我们的研究结果将大大提高亚裔美国青少年和年轻人饮酒的知识，并为有效的干预策略提供信息。公共卫生关系：拟议的项目探讨亚裔美国青少年和年轻人之间的酒精使用的预测因素，以及预测因素的影响是否以及在多大程度上随移民身份，社区SES和种族而变化。通过检查适合干预的预测因素，确定高风险亚组及其酗酒和其他问题饮酒的预测因素，我们的研究结果将为针对高风险人群的有效，文化适当和特定背景的干预工作提供信息。
