RETRAINING AUTOMATIC BIASES RELATED TO PROBLEM DRINKING IN COLLEGE STUDENTS

拟议的独立之路奖的主要目标是加速和完成 克里斯汀·林德格伦博士在酒精研究方面的培训以及她作为一名独立人士开始的职业生涯 助理教授职位的科学家。林德格伦博士是一名心理学家，也是 里士满大学。她目前正在完成为期2年的K99阶段。那次训练使她能够 完成与酒精使用障碍的病因和预防有关的行为方法的培训， 强调自动过程的作用(即，自动发生的过程，不需要 有意识的控制)。在K99支持下。林德格伦博士已经完成了(A)对 自动和控制过程及其在女大学生饮酒和性侵犯问题中的作用 以及(B)与成瘾行为和多层次统计有关的高级课程。她还拥有 她花了一部分时间通过手稿准备和研究成果的传播 提交，与酒精和自动工艺专家协商，并为 全国范围的求职活动。她的导师邻居博士、格林沃尔德、凯森和提赫曼都是大学里的专家 饮酒、自动社会认知、性侵害和再培训自动认知， 并提供了出色的支持和指导。为期3年的Roo阶段将允许林德格伦博士 在华盛顿大学建立她的实验室，在那里她将作为一名 助理教授。她将进行4项研究，并准备并向NL/W提交ROI。那些研究 扩展她对自动过程和问题饮酒的研究，以调查(A) 再培训自动化程序和(B)再培训在减少酒精消费和问题方面的作用。 这些研究将识别和重新训练预测大量饮酒的自动关联，并调查 再培训对后续饮酒行为的影响。研究还将为林德格伦博士的 第一份R01提交给NIA/\A。建议的奖励与NIH增加和 维持一支强大的研究人员队伍，以满足国家的行为和临床研究需求。

The major objectives of the proposed Pathway to Independence Award are the acceleration and completion of Dr. Kristen Lindgren's training in alcohol research and the launching of her career as an independent scientist with an assistant professor position. Dr. Lindgren is a psychologist and an assistant professor at the University of Richmond. She is currently completing the 2-year K99 Phase. That training has allowed her to complete training in behavioral approaches related to the etiology and prevention of alcohol use disorders, with an emphasis on the role of automatic processes (i.e., processes that occur automatically, without conscious control). With K99 support. Dr. Lindgren has completed (a) a longitudinal investigation of automatic and controlled processes and their role in problem drinking and sexual assault in college women and (b) advanced coursework related to addictive behaviors and multi-level statistics. She also has dedicated a portion of her time to dissemination of research findings through manuscript preparation and submission, consultation with experts on alcohol and automatic processes, and preparation of materials for a national job search. Her mentors, Drs. Neighbors, Greenwald, Kaysen, & Teachman are experts in college drinking, automatic social cognition, sexual victimization, and retraining automatic cognitions, respectively, and have provided outstanding support and guidance. The 3-year ROO Phase will allow Dr. Lindgren to establish her laboratory at the Univeristy of Washington, where she will join the Psychiatry Department as an assistant professor. She will conduct 4 studies, and prepare and submit an ROI to Nl/W\. Those studies extend her research on automatic processes and problem drinking to investigate (a) the feasibility of retraining automatic processes and (b) the utility of retraining in reducing alcohol consumption and problems. These studies will Identify and retrain automatic associations predictive of heavy drinking and investigate retraining's influence on subsequent drinking behaviors. Studies will also provide pilot data for Dr. Lindgren's first R01 submission to NIA/\A. The proposed award is consistent with NIH's goal of increasing and maintaining a strong cohort of investigators to address the Nation's behavioral and clinical research needs.
