DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Families represent a significant context for children's socioemotional development. Using survey and observational data from the ongoing Family Life Project (NIH/NICHD 1 P01 HD 039667-01A1), the proposed study will examine the associations between parent's heavy alcohol use and violent behaviors on child conduct disorders, determine whether father's risky behaviors are associated with increased gatekeeping behaviors by mothers and whether maternal gatekeeping provides a protective buffer for children. The study directly addresses gaps in our understanding of family systems in high risk environments. The primary goal of the proposed training plan is to allow the investigator to develop expertise in family processes within high risk environments by examining the network of relationships in which a family is embedded. This study uses data from the Family Life Project, a longitudinal, multi-method, population-based study of family processes among economically disadvantaged families living in nonurban areas. Preliminary analyses will include examining intercorrelations between all study variables. Confirmatory factor analyses will be used to construct all latent variables used in further analyses. Structural equation models (SEM) will be estimated, in which paternal alcohol use at 24 months and father's violent behavior will be used to determine the associations between fathers' alcohol use and violent behaviors and maternal gatekeeping at first grade. An SEM model will also be estimated, in which father's fathers' alcohol use and violent behavior will be used to predict both paternal parenting behaviors at 58 months and child conduct disorders when the child is in first grade and the moderating role of maternal gatekeeping plays in these associations. Both the direct and indirect pathways by which fathers' risky behavior may influence child development will be examined. The proposed training plan is designed to provide the fellow with the skills necessary to build a program of research that will allow for closer examination of these associations longitudinally in order to model the relations between the pattern of fathers' alcohol use and violent behavior over time and the development of child conduct problems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Heavy alcohol use has been linked to a range of indicators of poor parenting including less responsiveness to infants, greater impulsivity, and child maltreatment. The proposed research aims to understand the associations between fathers' and mothers' heavy alcohol use and violent behavior on family functioning. More specifically, this study will examine the role that mothers may play to provide a protective buffer against the adverse effects of father's risky behaviors on children's development of conduct problems.

描述（由申请人提供）：家庭代表着儿童社会情感发展的重要背景。拟议的研究使用正在进行的家庭生活项目（NIH/NICHD 1 P01 HD 039667-01A1）的调查和观察数据，拟议的研究将研究父母对父母的酗酒和对儿童行为障碍的暴力行为之间的关联，确定父亲的风险行为是否与母亲的守门行为相关联是否与母亲的守门行为相关联，是否可以为孩子们提供保护型养护者。该研究直接解决了我们在高风险环境中对家庭系统的理解中的差距。拟议的培训计划的主要目标是允许研究人员通过检查嵌入家庭的关系网络来在高风险环境中发展专业知识。 这项研究使用了家庭生活项目的数据，这是一项纵向，多方法，基于人群的研究，对居住在非城市地区的经济弱势家庭中的家庭过程。初步分析将包括检查所有研究变量之间的相互关系。验证性因素分析将用于构建用于进一步分析的所有潜在变量。将估计结构方程模型（SEM），其中24个月的父亲饮酒将使用父亲的暴力行为来确定父亲的饮酒与暴力行为与一年级的孕产妇守门之间的关联。还将估计一个SEM模型，其中父亲的父亲的饮酒和暴力行为将用于预测58个月的父亲育儿行为，并且当孩子处于一年级和在这些协会中孕产妇的守门角色的调节作用时，儿童会导致儿童进行疾病。父亲可能会影响儿童发展的直接和间接途径。 拟议的培训计划旨在为研究员提供建立研究计划所需的技能，该计划将纵向对这些协会进行纵向检查，以模拟父亲随着时间的流逝，随着时间的推移与儿童的暴力行为的模式与儿童行为问题的发展之间的关系。 公共卫生相关性：大量饮酒与育儿不良的一系列指标有关，包括对婴儿的反应，更大的冲动和虐待儿童。拟议的研究旨在了解父亲和母亲对家庭功能的暴力行为之间的关联。更具体地说，这项研究将研究母亲可能会扮演的角色，以防止父亲的风险行为对儿童发展行为问题的不利影响提供保护性缓冲。
