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·林格伦博士在酒精研究方面的培训以及她作为一名独立专家的职业生涯 科学家，助理教授。林格伦博士是一位心理学家，也是哈佛大学的助理教授。 里士满大学。目前，她正在完成为期两年的K99阶段。这种训练使她能够 完成与酒精使用障碍的病因学和预防相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， 意识控制）。支持K99 Lindgren博士已经完成了（a）纵向调查， 自动和控制过程及其在大学女生问题饮酒和性侵犯中的作用 和（B）与成瘾行为和多水平统计相关的高级课程。她也有 她将一部分时间用于通过撰写手稿传播研究成果， 提交文件，就酒精和自动化过程与专家进行磋商，并为 全国求职。她的导师，博士邻居，格林沃尔德，凯森，和蒂奇曼是专家在大学 饮酒、自动社会认知、性侵害和自动认知再训练， 并提供了出色的支持和指导。为期3年的ROO阶段将允许Lindgren博士 在华盛顿大学建立她的实验室，在那里她将加入精神病学系，作为一名 助理教授。她将进行4项研究，并准备并向NI/W提交ROI。这些研究 扩展她对自动过程和问题饮酒的研究，以调查（a） 重新训练自动过程和（B）重新训练在减少酒精消耗和问题中的效用。 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 再训练对随后饮酒行为的影响。研究还将为林格伦博士的 首次向NIA/\A提交R 01。拟议的奖励与NIH的目标是一致的， 维持一支强大的研究队伍，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.
